<p>I was never a dog owner, or even had a preference for them. Growing up, I was only allowed to have pets that could fit in small cages. The hamsters were fun because they learned to crawl out of it at night, and find their way back to their &#8220;home&#8221; in the morning. The iguana&#8230;. well, that didn&#8217;t last long, after my mom found it. And now that I&#8217;m a dog owner, I can&#8217;t imagine being without one.</p>
