3. They're always happy to see you

Aside from being home, the best thing about coming home is coming back to your dog who is just as excited, if not more excited than you are. Some of the best dog videos are dogs either being reunited with their owners or smelling their owners in the house after months of them being away.

Doggos are one of the greatest gifts to man, aside from cats. They range from little balls of fuzz to massive structures of fluff. Dogs also have some of the most beautiful eyes, filled with love and kindness.

From the derp moments to the ninja warrior reflexes, dogs will brighten up every day of your life whether they try to or not.

Not all dogs have super powers like Underdog and Krypto the Super Dog, but they will do whatever they can to help us stop crime. This is another reason dogs have pure souls, they dedicate their lives to helping another species with their problems.

If you're scared that your dog won't get along with your kid and you might have to get rid of it, just stop now because if anything it's going to be the kid that has the problem.

Not only do dogs take care of their own, but they also take care of others. Some dogs have even taken kittens into their families, raising the kitten to think that they too are a dog.

Dogs are basically one of the kids in a family environment. You may even sometimes forget that they aren't your own.

Without even trying, a dog could become an internet sensation from simple facial response or reaction.

Whether it's from how your dog handles a situation to how they react to something, there's some way you can relate to your dog.

14. Part of the community
