I have always had dogs in my life. As a child, I had a Shih Tzu/poodle mix who I loved with all my heart. When he passed away I was heartbroken... soon after, I begged my mom for another puppy. But she wouldn't agree to it, so I began visiting the neighborhood pets. I began helping two close neighbors take care of their dogs....

I have dog sat rescue dogs in my mom's friend's house. While they were away I slept over and took care of her such as taking her out for walks or to the park and I also fed her. I overall loved her as my own. When there was an emergency we took her to the vet, so I am well-aware of what should happen in any sticky situation.
