I am a dog-lover myself and have always had a dog in my family home, my parents currently own a Boxer dog who is male and 11 years old who I take care of frequently. I also had a job for just over a year taking care of a female Labrador puppy from 3 months up to 18 months, within that job I fed, walked, played and took care of the dog even taught her a few tricks along the way.
