I use to have a chihuahua, and a greyhound, named "Chiquita"and "Dixie". I would always take care of them when no one was around and loved to take Dixie (greyhound) on a walk and would often race with her at my local park, but man! What a rush! Trying to catch her when knowing she's a freaking racing dog. But anyway, I guess I do have a connection with any dog, because all in all every dog just wants to be loved.
