Everybody in their right mind likes dogs, but some of us take it a step further.
I, Lottie, am a self proclaimed and proud crazy dog lady. I have been obsessed with dogs for as long as I can remember. My mum tells me that as a toddler, I would drag around a doggie plush toy tied to a string everywhere, and would get deeply offended when other children told me it wasn’t a real dog.
And now here I am. Dog owner, dog lover, certified veterinary technician and working for a dog boarding company.
