Dogs are the best, plain and simple. Whether you have a dog or not, everyone knows the happiness and joy that overcomes you as soon as you see a dog. A smile lights up your face, and often times you are caught saying “Oh my god!” as a reaction to the cuteness of the dog. The same can be said for dogs as well. When you come home from work or school, they are anxious and excited to see you. They bark, wag their tail, and want to be pet as much as possible because they’re happy you came home and can spend time with them. Besides all of that, having a dog has many benefits to our overall health and mood, and without them we’d be left in a world full of cats, and honestly, that’s definitely not as good as dogs. Below are just some of the ways dogs are truly our best friends and understand us more than people.
