Recently, my parents surpassed me with the sweetest puppy, and over the last few weeks, I have learned this puppy is better than any man who has come my way. Here are a few reasons why,

1. They're loyal.

A dog won't ever leave you. Literally never, my puppy trails behind me all over the house.

2. They don't talk back.

Okay, they can't talk at all, but I mean you always win the argument here. A man is always trying to prove a point.

3. They're excellent listeners

You could go on ranting for hours, and the sweet pup will just look at you like a little angel listening to you. Not to mention, they won't think you're crazy or look at you like you're insane after.

4. They give endless hugs and kisses, without asking.

Boys can be weird about this, and with a dog you can literally get all the hugs and licks you want.

5. They always want to snuggle.

You don't have to wait for a certain point of the day to snuggle with your pup like you would have to with a man. I snuggle with my puppy literally every five seconds I think. best. thing. ever.

6. They don't care if you gain a few pounds.

Girl go ahead and eat your ice cream, because all the dog is going to care about is if you'll share it with him or not.

7. They're always excited to see you when you get home.

You go home to a guy, and they might be grouchy. With a dog though they just run up to you, so excited, tying to lick your face, tail wagging, and are so happy to see you. I mean c'mon, who doesn't love that?

8. They feel guilty when they do something wrong.

Every now and then pups get into mischief, and when you get on to them, they just kind of sulk and give you those sweet puppy dog eyes. With a guy, well he'll probably not realize he did anything wrong in the first place.

9. They never complain about your cooking.

You can literally fix whatever you want to eat for dinner without having to worry if a guy is going to like it too. Your pup always loves when you feed him!!

10. You can train a dog, but you can't train a man.

A man has quirky habits and shrugs off things sometimes that annoy you, but with a dog you can raise it to be the perfect companion.

So the next time you're thinking about getting a boyfriend, maybe you should consider a fur friend.
