I know someone who owns and loves her German Shepherds (has a very small kennel...no more than 5 dogs at a time) who is involved with a man who doesn't like dogs! She's known this man most of her life. They were good friends and now the relationship has turned to talks of marriage. The man is a great guy; steadfast, loyal, hard working and just wonderful in every other way. Oh yeah, one more thing.....he likes a neat and clean house. I'm sure some of you who are reading this may have married someone who didn't like dogs either. I know some people who this applies to. My question (or I should say her question) is how do you make a marriage like this work? He doesn't even like little dogs. He's not an animal hater, (he owned a cat) but he has no interest in dogs and would never accept them in the house. So in this case does the old saying "Love will conquer all' (or something like that) apply? Getting rid of the guy is not an option......in case any of you were thinking of that!
