Ever since I met Scott, one thing that has been impressed upon me is his innate sense of responsibility and trustworthiness. I actually had the pleasure of meeting Scott AND his dog the first day I met him. He loves his dog as if it were his own flesh and blood; he often makes sure her comfort comes before his own, tucking her in under the covers as she likes. Upon visiting me and my family, us having a large, boisterous mastiff, he was beyond patient and caring toward him as well. He made sure to listen to small training criteria I gave him for my dog, and I have seen him successfully train his dog to do a number of things. He is invested in the animals he encounters and makes sure they have a positive interaction with him. I would definitely trust him with my animals.
