New Port Richey, Florida -- Imagine having five, 10, 15 thigh-high dogs in your home every day.  High energy. High intensity. Playful to the point of exhaustion. 

And of course, filled with lots of love.

10 News photojournalist Casey Cumley says that describes any given day in the home of Pat Bayers.  Her life has "gone to the dogs," literally.

The above video was shot in about three hours over the course of two days in Bayers' home.  It gives you a small taste of what her life is like seven days a week, 365 days a year.

You see, the Bayers open their home to Labrador Retrievers.  Pat volunteers with Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida.

Over the last decade, she has helped nearly 800 Labs.
