In my 20 years of life, I have had the honor of owning four Labrador Retrievers. Thankfully they are all still alive, but I will say it loud and with too much confidence that the Labrador Retriever is the best breed of dog ever. So without further delay... here are all the reasons why labs are the best breed of dog.

1. They are incredibly friendly

When your arch nemesis becomes your bestie.

2. They're good with kids

Olivia Jacques

When I was a child, I used to dress my dog up and he would just sit there and take it.

3. Since they retrieve, they're great hunting partners

Or you can just throw a stick in the water and they can go after it.

4. They're very good running partners

Olivia Jacques

They're not small so they can keep up. They aren't mini-horses so you have control over your run.

5. They are quick learners

Olivia Jacques

Major key especially when trying to potty train them.

6. You can choose which color lab you want

Olivia Jacques

You really can't go wrong, though.

7. They're loyal through it all

Olivia Jacques

Through thick and thin.

8. They are the CUTEST pups

Olivia Jacques

I mean, come on. Look at that face.

9. They really are your best friend

Even though they are just dogs, at the end of the day they're so much more. They're just like a member of the family. They know when you're upset. They let you annoy them. They sit there when you vent to them and they're the best secret keepers.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
