My parents already had a dog when I was born, when I was 2 years old we got our second dog and just a few years after we got the 3rd dog. Therefore, I grew up with 3 dogs: a pincher, a mixed-breed medium size dog and a boxer. They all lived much longer than their expected lifetime, in part due to all the love they received. As a teenager I got my first cat - Sasha, currently 11 years old - and 6 years later I rescued Marley, a mix between pitbull and boxer. I've trained Marley myself and I'm proud to say that he is an excellent family dog (although all his energy) and a great pet for kids. Professionally I worked in a veterinarian hospital, as I'm holder of a veterinary auxiliary certificate and a first aid and dogs rescue course.
