Four legs, a wet nose, hundreds of kisses and unconditional love -- how else would you describe a dog? Recently, a friend of mine asked me to watch her dog for a few hours. I was slightly hesitant because I knew I was pretty busy that day, but I decided to make the time. I have a dog back home in Maryland, so I wasn't sure how I would necessarily handle the energy of a crazy few-month-old puppy.

I would be lying if I didn't say that Scout was one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen. I would say that he was excited to see me, but really he was just excited to be rescued from his cage. I was lucky enough to spend three hours with this little guy, and they were the best three hours of my life.

Dogs create such a happiness in your life -- unlike any human. They will constantly love you no matter if you are mad at them for tearing up your new pair of shoes. They look at you with those eyes and you can't help but forgive them. Either way, I was so happy to watch my new friend for a couple hours because he made me realize how much I actually love dogs and how much I miss mine.

Scout, you are a piece of work, but I love you, man.
