Humans are overrated sometimes, but dogs? Never.

9 Reasons Why My Dog Is My Best Friend
Sara Clemens

There's something special about dogs that make them the ultimate best friend. Maybe it's that they aren't human, or maybe it's that they don't judge you even at your worst times. Personally, I wouldn't be the person I am now if I didn't adopt my little pal. He's been by my side during the craziest times in my life so far and has only made them better. It's said that people are born to learn how to love and be kind, but dogs already know how to do that so they don't stay with us as long. If I could have it my way, I would keep my dog forever. This article is for you, buddy!

1. He never leaves my side.

Whether I'm just sitting on the couch or I'm running around my house trying to get stuff done, my dog is always by my side.

2. He's my personal vacuum.

I never have to worry about accidentally dropping a piece of food on the floor and making a mess because nine times out of ten my dog will have caught whatever I dropped in his mouth.

3. He's always overly excited to see me.

Whenever I come home for a weekend I can always look forward to being greeted with puppy kisses.

4. He's always down for a run, hike, or walk.

It doesn't matter if it's thundering and lightning or if it's snowing, my dog is always more than willing to go out and explore with me.

5. He cheers me up when I'm having a bad day.

Whenever I'm in a bad mood, my dog will come and sit next to me and whine until I smile. I don't know why he does it or how it really works, but it does.

6. He always looks out for me.

I swear my dog puts my life before his own. If that's not love, I don't know what is.

7. He's the best co-pilot for any adventure.

Whether it's just to the grocery store or it's a long road trip, he's ready for any adventure.

8. He never complains about taking selfies with me.

If I had to guess, I would say that almost half of my camera roll is pictures of me and my dog.

9. He doesn't judge.

He doesn't care about what I look like when I wake up, and he doesn't judge me for eating an entire pint of ice cream in one sitting. He accepts me for who I am.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
