Taylor is my nephew, and he has been an animal lover his whole life. Even better, animals seem to take to him in an incredibly special way. He is sensitive, patient, encouraging, and seems to "live in the moment" the way animals do. He may have learned that from them. He (with his parents) has owned two boxers, a golden retriever, a yellow lab, and several cats. He and his girlfriend parent a lab pit bull mix. When I visited him with my boxer/pit mix, they were immediately inseparable. He definitely goes the extra mile to take care of fur babies.
