10 Reasons Why Dogs Are The Greatest Things On Earth
My Sweet Puppy

Chances are I chose to write about this topic to just have an excuse to look at cute pictures of dogs. However, most people can agree that dogs are the greatest things to walk this earth. They truly can be a man/woman's best friend and here are a few reasons why they are the best.


1. They are just plain adorable.

Anyone can agree that dogs are adorable. Big, little, fluffy, etc., dogs are cute. Puppies are always an added bonus!

2. They are always down to cuddle.

No boyfriend? No problem. Just buy a cute little dog and you have a cuddle buddy for life! Dogs always love to cuddle, so don't be discouraged if your dog is big— they still love us humans!

3. They can make you laugh.

Dogs sometimes do crazy things that can make you laugh. Whether you've had a bad day or a bad week, coming home to a dog can be the perfect remedy.

4. Dogs are always ready to listen.

If all your friends are busy, no worries, your dog will be ready to listen. They may not be able to respond to your problems, but that may be for the best anyway.

5. Dogs will always choose you.

Being an owner of a dog means you always have a best friend. The best feeling is coming home after a long day and seeing your puppy so excited to see you. Whether you've been gone for five hours or five minutes, they are as happy as ever that you're finally back!

6. They always want to go on an adventure.

Car rides, long walks and heading to the beach—dogs are always ready to do something fun. And more importantly, they love to do whatever you want! They also make great travel partners wherever you go.

7. They make for great pictures.

Looking to get a lot of likes on Instagram? No problem, just post a selfie with your pup. Everyone loves dogs and will be sure to love the adorable picture of you and your dog. On the flip side, getting that perfect picture might take some patience, because dogs never really know what's going on.

8. Dogs are great motivators.

Don't feel like working out? Not motivated to go on that run? No worries, your dog still wants to. It's always an added bonus if you need to take your dog for a walk anyway!

9. They know when you're down.

A dog can sense when their owner is feeling blue and they will always be around for cuddles when you just need a good cry. Like mentioned before, they always listen when you just need to talk too!

10. Did I mention they're adorable?

Maybe this one is another excuse to share some more cute dog pictures. But I know if you've made it this far in the article, you'll love one more cute puppy.


Maybe dogs aren't for everyone, but they do make great best friends. Even if you don't actually own a dog right now, hopefully these pictures and gifs make your day like they did mine!

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
