I've always grown up with a dog. Now I have my own dog who is very big but very well behaved. He is the best adventure partner. He is super friendly and loves to meet new animals and people. I don't believe in having "chain dogs." I've had experiences with dogs sized from chihuahuas to Great Danes. I have always loved dogs and treated them like the family that they are. I believe that the more time you spend with them and talking to them makes them much smarter.
