Since I remember myself I remember a dog next to me. I really love all animals and I care about them a lot. My godparents and I have a cottage in Pelion Greece, and we have around 10 dogs and a bunch of cats, it is fluctuating because all of them, except one, are rescued animals we find in the streets. It really makes me happy to be around animals, and dogs especially. I think that they also understand that as I always have a positive feeling from all the dogs I have babysitted dogs and every time is an amazing experience.
Unfortunately I do not speak Dutch, but I am fluent in English and Greek :).
