I’ve always loved dogs. My mom tells me that even when I was little, I would get excited when I saw a dog in public and immediately wanted to go up and pet them. I don’t really understand how people can detest dogs. More often than not, I find that I’d rather be home with my dog than out in public with people. Dogs are just better and have so much more to offer than humans. Here are just a few things.

Loyalty

Try and find a dog that doesn’t stand by their owner no matter what. I doubt you’ll find one.

Cuddles

Nothing beats snuggling up with your dog on a cold winter day.

Intelligence

The tricks you can teach a dog in a day without them being able to fully understand you are freaky but impressive. Play dead? Roll over? Somebody call Harvard, because I’m sure some dogs out there are smarter than the average college student.

Comfort

Somehow dogs always know when you’re sad and always know how to cheer you up.

Friendship

My dog is my best friend, and I’m definitely not ashamed to say it.

Love

As a dog owner, I understand that I am my dog’s whole life and that she looks up to me with so much love. When you depend on someone to take care of you, don’t you love them too?

Humor

Dogs are smart, but sometimes they can be a little dumb. You have to admit that watching your dog chase their tail never gets old.

Safety

No matter their size, dogs will always bark at the mailman. They just want to protect their family.

Health benefits

There have been multiple studies that prove that dogs benefit your health, both physically and mentally.

Having a dog is just something that I think everyone should experience. It definitely comes with no regrets.
