But having said that I'm in love with the relationship between humans and dogs and the more I learned about what our military working dogs are doing I wanted to at least share with people what an important role these animals have in all our lives.
A relationship is hard in and of itself. And having kids is really hard work but I think it's really meaningful as is a relationship. But they all take work.
