After a break up, the world ends. You feel alone, miserable, disregarded, and simply like trash sitting in a kingdom of gold. All your friends say they are there for you, and they are. It's incredible. But they have their own lives to live too. A dog? You are his life. If you feel sad, he feels sad, and no dog likes feeling that way. They will, and do, do everything they can to make you smile. And that's exactly what one needs after a heart is crushed. So here are all the ways my dog helped me get through this difficult time (and every other one too).

1. He lets me cry into his fur.

2. He never asks what happened.

3. He doesn't mind playing with toys for hours on end to occupy my thoughts.

4. He is always up to laying on his back in the grass, starring at oblivion (and birds) with me.

5. He never says the heart-breaker's name.

6. He never tells me that I'll "get through it."

7. He never runs away when I look like Mrs. Frankenstein whilst crying my eyes out.

8. He always greets me with a tongue of slobber and a giant bear hug (I'm serious — he's part St. Bernard).

9. His floppy ears always make me laugh; and he does not care.

10. He always knows when I am about to have a breakdown.

11. He will non-stop eat with me.

12. He never minds listening to my blabbering about said heart-breaker.

13. He, truly, is my best friend.

I love you, pup.
