My beloved dog defied treatment from the best and most expensive veterinarians, holistic practitioners, trainers, and animal communicators. He was simply beyond my ability to repair or control.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Working on behalf of companion animals is so important. We start to realize how healing they are.
I got my service dog when I was medically retired out of the military, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I wish every medically retired serviceman could have a service dog. He's amazing. He's my best bud. I go everywhere and anywhere with him.
Just being with dogs, I learned their ways and began to appreciate things from their point of view.
I grew up in a home where animals were ever-present and often dominated our lives. There were always horses, dogs, and cats, as well as a revolving infirmary of injured wildlife being nursed by my sister the aspiring vet.
I had worked on dogs for a couple of years developing a renal transplant operation. We had dogs running around with kidneys we had transplanted back into themselves.
Dogs and their well-being is one of my biggest passions in life. The Michael Vick case brought the issue of dogfighting to light... he knew what he was doing and never deserved to play in the NFL again.
Service dogs raise their masters' sense of well-being.
I see dog stories as an antidote to the dire news that nothing is ever going to get better.
Veterinarians are essential allies to the millions of us who experience the human-animal bond.
No dog is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate dogs, I train people. I am the dog whisperer.
