Yeah, so I think from growing up with dogs, like we always had dogs at home or my granddads house, so we were always playing with dogs, so I've never really had a fear of dogs like some people have, and I always considered myself a dog person, you know the way some, well most people consider themselves either a cat person or a dog person so that they either prefer cats or dogs, so I always thought of myself as a dog person, although recently in the last year or two, I'm kind of wondering about that because I've met some really nice cats,

though before I always thought of cats as being too, too independent really and almost haughty or snobby towards people cause they didn't really, they don't really seem to need people or need affection as much as dogs do and that's a really nice part about dogs I think is that you really feel an attachment to them and they're so happy when they see you and you can really tell as long as you treat them well obviously that they really love you and they'll look after you.
