For as long as I can remember, my dogs have always been my best friend. Looking back I tried to figure out why that was. Why are dogs just naturally more enjoyable to be around than people? In this article, I will give you 10 reasons why that is. Enjoy!

1. My dog is always excited to see me. Literally every time. If you can find a friend in real life that jumps around and gets drool everywhere every time they see you, hang on to them. You've found a winner.

2. They always listen to my problems when no one else will. Even if it's about boys.

3. They are always the life of the party. We all have that friend we wish we could be like...

4. Leaves me regular presents when I least expect it.

5. They never argue with me about politics. I don't even have to validate their extreme beliefs as a means to preserve the friendship. It is great really, y'all should try it.

6. They always eat more than I do so I never feel like I am eating too much.

7. They don't complain. Unless it is for a treat. Sit a few times, roll over once, play dead and we'll talk. Next.

8. Great taste in fashion. If I am ever in doubt about something being too edgy or extreme, I can always count on them to one-up me and take some of the pressure off of me. Usually.

9. They never touch the radio in the car. They don't touch the volume, the station, comment on your taste in music, or suggest they have better taste.

10. They never back out of plans. Ever. They are the friend that will never stand you up, text you 10 minutes before saying their grandma died, or leave you alone at a restaurant after you've ordered drinks. Ride or die, they will always be there and that is why dogs make the best friends.
