Dogs are man's best friend, and your dog and your man have a lot in common when you stop and think about it.
They are constantly hungry.
And if you have to pay for their food, you will be even more aware of this.
They are excited every time they see you.
The best greeting after a long day is being jumped on by someone who loves you.
They require a lot of responsibility.
Feed them, walk them, make sure they do their business before bed... It's a lot to get used to, but once you get a routine it becomes second nature.
They are worth the effort.
If you have the time and patience to give them the affection and training they need, they will be a loyal lifetime companion.
Having another creature around to take care of is a lot to get used to. It feels good to have someone who counts on you. Once you have a dog or boyfriend, it's hard to know how you survived without them.
