Chances are, anyone who tells you never to work with kids or animals has never enjoyed a job working alongside dogs. Any vocation that involves our four-legged furry friends is likely to be one of the most rewarding out there, from pampering pooches to perfection, to training therapy animals to provide love and affection to the sick or distressed.
