Surprisingly, I didn’t just choose this because I like dogs. Don’t get me wrong dogs are fantastic; but I chose a dog because of its characteristics. Everyone knows about that little dog that barks louder than any dog on the block. That dog is me; except lucky for you I don’t bark, nor am I covered in hair with a tail.
