I personally own 2 best friends, and for me they are part of the family, I like to share with them, take care and have fun. I bath, feed, walk, play do exercise., take them to the dog park, to the store, to the vet. I dog seat several of my friends dogs when they travel and I love it. I will help you to take care of yours, when you are away. Is important have them with someone who likes pets and enjoy their company, someone who already have best friends at home and know what to do in case of a emergency, enjoy their company and enjoy their activities is a great thing to do together and help when your are not there.
