Some say it's diamonds, others say it's food, but we all know who the real girl's best friend is! Whether as a puppy or as a rescued veteran, we chose them to be a part of our lives. However, you never know just how important they will become to you. As the days go by, they become your reading buddy, car sing along companion, and running partner. But what about dogs makes them so much better than any other animal? Let me (a seasoned dog mom of a big ol' pup) give you a few reasons why they're so awesome, just in case you weren't sure!
10. They are excellent cleaning companions
"Oh, my human is putting my toys away! She looks like she is enjoying this... let me drag them out again for you, my human!"
"Vacuum?? You mean vicious, sound maker?! It's has taken my human captive! Don't worry, human. I will bark at it and it will let you go!!!"
9. They are the least judgmental passengers
Me: *Singing/Performing pop songs with bass booming and the sunroof open*
Pup: "Ooo I can sing too!" *ahem*..... (Howls Voraciously) "Human, we have the perfect harmony!"
8. They are the best fitness motivators on the planet
Me: "This is a nice jogging pace... I can enjoy this for another mile!"
Pup: "Well, we've warmed up! Now it's time to take my human on a nice run!" (Runs 30 seconds)
7. They keep the bed warm for us single ladies
"My human is getting into bed in the next ten seconds.... Time to lay down in her spot to keep it warm!"
6. They don't judge when you decide to Netflix your night away
"My human has pulled out a blanket and the remote! This is the best day ever!! Cuddle time!!!"
*Proceeds to jump on your lap even though they're 75 pounds and take up half the couch*
5. They're really good homework helpers
"Mom just pulled out a book? Let me help her read!" (paw takes up half of page) "This makes no sense.... I'll just lay on my human instead!"
4. They're the best at drying your tears after a bad day
(sobs and blows nose)
Pup: "That's my signal! Mama needs me! Don't cry mama! I'll kiss it better!"
(Mama gets taken over by a slobbery kiss attack)
3. They're always happy to see you, even if you didn't treat them well the last time you saw them
"My human is home and I love my human! I can't wait to see her!! I love her so much!"
2. They're the Original Gossips
Me: "Hey! Can you keep a secret for me?"
Pup: "Gossip?! Mama I'm here for you! Tell me all about it!"
1. They're the most loyal friend you'll ever have
No matter what comes your way, your puppy will always love you. They're not going anywhere and they'll be here for the long run, through boyfriends, friend breakups, and college. There's no doubt: you'll never meet a better friend than your four legged buddy!
