I'm retired and at home during the day and would love to be able to give a lonely dog a cuddle and playtime at my house while their owners are at work. Have had dogs all my life and consider myself quite experienced in owning them. We not long lost out little Shitzu cross after 15 years and I'm in the process of getting a Mini Golden Retriever next month so they definitely won't be lonely.
Have also had Border Collies in the past as well....
