Recently, I was asked to look after a friend’s dog — not a big deal; just to go around and give him his food, fill up his water bowl, and then give him the odd pat, as a bit of human company would be good for him. Little did I know at the time that I actually needed a bit of dog company and it would be good for me also. I have owned several large dogs over the years and have often thought about giving a rescue dog a forever home.
