I have always loved animals — growing up I trained, walked, fed and groomed our family dog, looked after our neighborhood pets, and raised two bunnies. I currently have two cats that are basically like dogs, so it’s been fun having them and they definitely welcome all pups—it’s so cute to see them play. All in all, I have always had a great reaction from dogs of all kinds. I think they can tell that I love animals, so it’s usually love at first sight! A college friend of mine has two white German shepherds, one of which is usually extremely aggressive and he looooved me at first sight and protected me the entire time I stayed with her. They’re pictured in my photo gallery!
