Animal Lover

Dogs are very close to my heart, and I will do anything to save them. I was never always a dog lover, especially when I was younger. I use to be deathly afraid of dogs, and anything that involved dogs. I would hate when people brought their dogs into public places, and I would cry when I saw a big dog. Looking back I laugh at myself, because sitting here writing this I have a Rottweiler/shepherd dog name princess. She is the love of my life, and I spoil her to death. The reason I fell in love with dogs was basically out of force. My family said I needed to get over this fear, so they brought me my first puppy named coco. I was terrified, I could not even pet him. That night he would not leave me alone, he kept following me and layed right next to my bed.  I knew I had to overcome this fear, so I finally petted him and I fell in love. I could not put him down, he sleep with me from that night all the way until my junior year in high school. Coco was my buddy, when high school was hard. I loved him so much, I took him everywhere and treated him like my own child. Unfortunately coco passed away and I was heartbroken. I didn't know what to do, I lost the dog that got me out of my shell, the dog I grew up with. I knew I was not ready for a new dog but I wanted to help other dogs. I started volunteering at the dog shelter and ASPCA. ASPCA became my focus for the next three years and I continue helping them. I raised money for them and helped when every I could, that's how I got Princess. One day I went into a shelter and I saw a big gorgeous Rottweiler patting and smile at me and I knew I had to have her. So we took her home and she has been apart our family ever since.
