The dogs kind of bring the emotion with them. IF you or anyone were to simply walk into the yard of our one shelter where we house 40+ dogs you would be met with a bunch of barks, not of wanting you to go away but of them wanting to come and say hello. Some people get a bit overwhelmed at how much love pours out the door once we open it. They are always so excited to meet new people and well, their reaction to me is basically the same even though they have seen my hundreds of times.
