I had a Staffordshire Bull Terrier growing up and I was the only one who took care of her she lived to be nearly 19.. I also did dog sitting and dog walking for a few years during school. Animals, especially dogs love being around me and they always seem to be chipper even if the owners say they're "aggressive". I have also got experience with cats as well however not as long as with dogs however, from my experience they are more relaxed than dogs. I love looking after all kinds of animals when given the opportunity.
