Me when someone says they don't like dogs:

Whenever someone tells me they don't like dogs, I automatically lose a hint of respect for them. Dogs are the best! Sure, they're cute and furry, but there are so many more reasons to love dogs!

1. They get so excited to see you.

It's always nice to come home to an excited dog. At least you know someone misses you while you're gone!

2. They can be super playful.

Looking for a laugh or trying to burn some energy? Go play with a dog.

3. They cuddle with you.

No significant other to cuddle with? No problem!

4. They are SO cute, obviously.

Look at those faces! Come on people!

5. They act as a vacuum.

Drop some food on the floor! No fear, dog is here!

6. They are happy all the time.

I can't remember the last time I have seen an unhappy dog.

7. They protect you.

Dogs are always there to protect their owners! Barking at the mailman is just an act of love.

8. They teach you to be forgiving.

Whether they peed on your blanket or ripped your favorite shirt, you can't stay mad at them when they look up at you with those puppy dog eyes.

9. They make you feel better.

Whether you've had a rough day or you're sick, your dog will sit with you and comfort you; maybe even throw in a few kisses here and there.

10. They are your best friend.

Dogs didn't earn the title "Man's Best Friend" for nothing.
