As a committed father of 4 successful children, a retired physician, and a dog owner for several decades, I am passionate about dogs and affectionately love them as much as they love me. My first dog was a German Shepherd, my second a Doberman, followed by several Golden Retrievers. Because of my long experience with dogs and my clinical sense, I can feel and meet the specific needs of a dog. Since all four of my kids graduated, my wife and I are now empty nesters and we are ready and very excited to replace our four kids with four paws. We will give these wonderful creatures as much care and as much love that we gave a family member simply because they genuinely are!
