5 Reasons Why Dogs Are A (Wo)man's Best Friend

Dogs aren't only a man's best friend; they are also the confidants of many woman -- and there are countless reasons why dogs are a woman's best friend.

I decided to get a puppy to help with my depression, as I have learnt by research that pet therapy has promising affects on mental illness. If I could explain just how much pleasure my puppy has given me, I could continue for days. I consider him to be my best friend, my shoulder to cry on when I’ve had a bad day, and he has unquestionably and cursorily become an essential part of my life.

If you are a woman, looking for some companionship that is not complicating, demanding or stressful, you should genuinely consider adopting a pup.

Here are some, but not entirely all, of the reasons why a dog is a (wo)man’s best friend!

1. Unconditional Love.

One of the largest and unsurpassed reasons why dogs are a woman's best friend is the love that they offer. There are no questions asked; they ask for nothing in return (except maybe a belly rub) and there certainly isn't any perplexity tangled with the love that is given from dogs. They live to love and your dog will adore you unreservedly.

2. Companionship.

When you entertain a dog by your side, you will never feel lonesome -- that is assured. Whether you want to go for a hike, take a joy ride, or just rest on the couch and bum around, a dog will be an outstanding companion for anything it is that you desire to do – and more notably will be joyful and delighted to do whatever it is that you want to do.

3. Non-judgmental.

One of the principal weaknesses countless women have is the constant suspicion that they are being judged. With all of the hysteria surrounding models, celebrities and other vixens, no wonder so many women are endlessly judging and feel as though they are being judged.

Well, fortunately dogs are non-judgmental. They don't care how much money you make, where you live, what you do for a living or what kind of shoes you are wearing. You could be unemployed, wear not an ounce of makeup and sport a moth-eaten sweater, and a dog will make no judgments and love you just the same.

4. Fun.

Dogs are just so much fun. It is incredibly tough not to smile around a dog. They love to play, chase balls, go on walks and act silly with you. And, the fun that dogs like having doesn't cost an arm-and-a-leg to enjoy.

5. Instinctive.

Dogs have some of the greatest instincts, and these predispositions can really be a benefit to you! When I was distraught, my puppy immediately recognized it and sought nothing more than to comfort me. He coiled up in a ball next to me, licked me and tried to offer comfort in any way he could. They distinguish and sense when you are sad, happy, scared and frantic—and they do their best to help you.

Now, if you ask me, that is some pretty remarkable stuff!


Now that I have my best friend, I couldn’t envision my life without him.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
