It's the age old debate: which is the superior pet, dogs or cats? While I'm sure you've heard countless arguments for each side, I am here to tell you that dog people are the only ones who are 100% right. Any dog owner (or aspiring dog owner!) will agree, dogs are the ultimate pets to be best friends with, and here's why:

1. Dogs are the most loyal pets ever

Would your cat jump to the rescue like this pooch did?

2. Dogs are athletic

You can take them on walks and runs, and play fetch with them.

3. They have the unique ability to pull those classic puppy dog eyes

You know the ones.

4. Even when they’re bad boys (or girls!), you can’t stay mad at them

*Cue the puppy dog eyes*

5. Because you know they’ll always be there when you need them

Puppy hugs!

6. They've seemed to master the head tilt of curiosity

Have you ever seen anything cuter?

7. The fact that they always greet you like they haven't seen you in years

(s)he missed you!

8. Puppies are playful, while cats are aloof AF.

Do you want a best friend or a roommate?

9. It’s impossible to become an Old Dog Lady

It only happens with casts, it's science.

10. Dogs know when you're hurt or sick

You know your pup will come sit with you when you’re not feeling your best.

11. Playing with puppies is 100% proven to lift your spirits

LOOK. AT. THEM.

12. They’re super smart, and always ready to learn new tricks

For a treat, of course.

13. They work for a living!

From police dogs to service dogs, they’re all making the world a better place!

14. And, finally, they’re (wo)man’s best friend!

There’s a reason they’re the only pets that hold this prestigious title.

Hopefully, now that you've read this super convincing list, everyone can agree that dog people are the only ones who truly have it all figured out. DOGS FTW!
