Animals LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Melanie. Even to my annoyance over the years as her daughter, any animal in any room will choose to go to her over pretty much anyone else. I've witnessed this more times than I can count! All my animals growing up loved her more than anyone, and even my dog, who now lives across the country from her, loves her the most. She is one of the only people in the world I trust to take care of my dog. Any dog that is lucky enough to be cared for by Melanie will be a happy dog, I can guarantee it! She's provided a loving home for many animals over the years, whose needs ranged from post-surgical care to separation anxiety to high-energy playtime, and her natural instincts and caring nature have always provided for them, whatever their needs. I may be a little biased, but she's also one of the most dependable, reliable, and sweet-natured people you will ever come across.
