Loving dogs for me is about humility and peace.  If something is going wrong with a dog, it’s probably something a change in my behavior can fix. Giving them peace gave me peace. Returning the love they give by being informed and thoughtful in my interactions made my life better. I became more active, happier, more open, more relaxed. I consider myself an open-hearted, hard-working person.  I love myself despite my flaws and I’m determined to do the same for them.  I spend my time trying to understand them, in return, they’ve given me so much.
