This automatically filled me up with excitement and made me realize how much I wanted a dog and for how long. Then I knew that the day was finally going to come.

We opened up the picture and BAM just like that without hesitation we knew this was the dog we were going to get.

    I have always had a love for animals since I was a boy. I can remember wanting a dog my entire life and my parents telling me “No” because of the huge responsibility of owning a pet.
