I grew up with dogs, first it was a border collie. Then, 1 German shepherd to 2 of them until they became 8 with the first litter! Then a second litter ! I spent my teen age years until I was 19 with my gorgeous Rufus, a very possessive german shepherd who would wait for me at the door every day after school, perfectly trained like in a movie :) My dream was to become a veterinarian but never did in the end. Later, I rescued a dog from the street who then became my family dog, the sweetest old English shepherd. I finally decided that I could have a dog of my own again and got a cheeky Jack Russell terrier who I walk and cycle every day. Having a dog is hard work and sometimes we have to leave them alone, which is very sad for them as they depend on us. I sometimes find myself in this situation, especially as an expat. So, I thought I could help some other pet owners with the same need for help.
