history: My 8 year old German Shepherd had hip dysplasia.  He was my best friend.  I loved him so much I love dogs as well. They truly are man's best friend.
current: ive had one dogg that I love, but since she did its been hard to love again.
next: It's very hard to train them from a puppy.  Older dogs know just how to love without being so overeager and annoying
