Absolutely. Alex (boyfriend) adores Levi
almost as much as I do.
There is no way that our relationship would work if he wasn't an animal lover, and if he didn't love Levi in particular. It completely melts my heart to see how Levi and Alex interact.
Our situation is a little different because we were together long before adding Levi to our lives, but it is very important to me that Alex genuinely loves and would do anything for Levi. Levi is much more "our" dog than "my" dog. Al will take him out to potty, even at 6AM on weekends, feeds him and plays with him and completely spoils him. I can't imagine it any differently, and it makes me so sad to hear about significant others who are not involved with the dogs or resent their presence.
