I grew up with two dogs, but have never had any more since my teenage years after having to leave my dog behind when I went for further studies. In the recent 8 years, I have dogsat for my neighbours, and helped a friend with pet-boarding business. I encounter my neighbour's dogs quite regularly and they react well to me. In fact, some come straight to me without having even met me before. They can probably sense that I am a friend (and in need of company). BTW I am single and still available. I have a place in JB and come across often.
