Bernard S.
“Ben has always had love for dogs, but I never knew how much until he met my dog, Leila. The first minute that he met Leila, Leila was so comfortable, happy, and energetic around him - almost as if she felt safe with him. As they spent more time together, Leila's love for Ben only grew. He was always taking Leila on walks, playing with her, providing a space for her to cuddle up on the couch, and making sure her health and safety were a priority. Lastly, Ben is patient with all dogs, allowing them to take their time going to the bathroom or on walks - which you don't see very often.”
