"I am compassionate, committed, and remain very aware. I realize that animals need love and care and should always be treated with respect, but I also know that animals can often be unpredictable and utilize survival instincts when they feel threatened. When I am with a new animal, I remain on my guard and observe their behavior. When an animal has warmed up to me, I enjoy showering it with love and helping to care for its needs. When my heart is really in something, I remain very loyal."
