My daughter is a real animal lover - a student who works and goes to school full time but still finds time to take in, care for and love abandoned and stray animals. She also volunteers at a local animal shelter.
Last year she adopted a dog from the shelter (it was about 3 or 4 years old) took it to obedience classes (
which are just as much for the owner as the pet), and it is the most well behaved pet I've ever seen!
She's even taken in 2 stray cats since the dog, and with enough love and discipline they all get along amazingly well!
Wish they would have had those classes when we were raising kids
