I have grown up with dogs of many kinds, from a little Jack Russell to a large Italian Spinone, with Labradors and Beagles in the mix too. I have 2 cats of my own and a young Labrador pup now, and still visit my grandparents house to look after and help out with their beagle too. I took on a lot of the walking and feeding responsibilities of the larger dogs I grew up with, as well as regularly grooming and caring for the other needs of the variety of dog breeds that we have had. I would regularly be asked to care for the animals and the house while my relatives were away, and take every pleasure in spending time with any type of dog or cat.
