Since I was born I have lived in a house which has had at least 1 dog. They have become a huge part of my life and one issue I have particularly felt since leaving home. Since I moved away from the UK 6 months ago I have felt the absence of dogs in my life. Unfortunately, my temporary work visa and accommodation does not allow me to have a pet and it is a hole in my life I am looking to fill again. Across my family and friends I have become accustomed to many different sizes and breeds of dogs, but with the emphasis being with larger breeds. I am an very active, outdoors person who exercises regularly, and so a Dog would make a good companion.
