10 Reasons German Shepherds Are The Best Dogs
Alex Tendler

They’re mighty, stoic and goofy in every way. Here are ten reasons why German Shepherds are undeniably the best dogs:

1. Cutest puppies.


Before they become your full-grown partner, German Shepherds are some of the cutest puppies with their floppy ears, big, glossy eyes and their black, tan or white coloring.

2. Personal bodyguard.

German Shepherds are the ultimate watchdogs, and they will protect you for life. While they may appear scary and aggressive to outsiders, you know they are the sweetest pups in the world. For anyone else though, don't mess.

3. Loyal.

Similar to their protective instincts, German Shepherds are loyal to you for life. They always have a special connection with their owners, and will sit waiting for you patiently until you return.

4. Super playful.



German Shepherds have tons of energy and they are very active. They are always up for a walk, run, or game of Frisbee. They also love to bring you a toy, and have you chase them around the house. No matter what the day, their playful side is sure to come out.

5. Goofy.




German shepherds are actually really goofy and silly. They have great personalities, and they will always make you laugh, especially when you’re having a bad day.

6. Obedient.


German Shepherds are famous for their obedience and ability to follow commands. This is why they are great police and military dogs, and have gone on to save many lives due to their obedience and fearlessness. This makes training them pretty easy, and you can also teach them pretty cool tricks!

7. Loving.


More than anything else, these dogs are super loving and have huge hearts. Their family is everything to them, and they would do anything to keep their pack happy and safe.

8. Smart.



Whether opening doors, performing tricks, or even doing everyday chores, German Shepherds are super smart, and they love to show off their skills.


9. Cuddle buddy.


German Shepherds are big, fluffy and the perfect cuddle buddies. They are like a big pillow, and just like they love to play and run, they love to nap with you by their side.

10. Best friend for life



Nothing can replace the special bond you have with your German Shepherd, and no matter what, they will always be your greatest, furriest friend.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
