Having a rough week? Losing faith in humanity recently? Well, good news! We still have dogs. Here are some reasons why dogs are the best.
1. They show you the real definition of unconditional love
Dogs are the only things on this earth that will love you more than they love themselves.
2. Every time you walk through the door, they act like they haven't seen you in years
Whether you are coming home from a weekend vacation, coming home from work or coming back inside after taking the trash to the curb, dogs greet you every time you walk through your door like they haven't seen you in years. It's the best feeling knowing that something is so excited to see you.
3. They'll go on a run with you (without complaining the whole time)
As soon as you break out that leash, you know the chaos that is about to unveil. But, you know that your run is going to be a little more productive without having to hear your work out buddy wheezing and complaining the whole time.
4. They don't talk back
When they pee on something or do something wrong and you tell them "NO" and then continue to lecture them about what they did, they never talk back. They simply hang their head and hide for a couple minutes and then find you and lick your skin off your body to show they're sorry.
5. They're the best to snuggle with
They love sleep just as much as you do (sometimes) and they know that when you're curled up, they're getting in on the snuggles. They keep you warm and they don't sweat or snore.
6. They protect you
They will bark at anything. Literally anything...Squirrels, mailmen, wind, EVERYTHING. So, when their ears go all cockeyed and their hair stands up think of a plan because you know if someone comes in, they're going to get licked to death. Hey, at least they tried to warn you.
7. You can dress them up
You can dress them up in little boots and rain jackets or little costumes and bows. They look so cute! And you can't help but crack up when they run in a funny costume.
8. They take awesome "selfies"
Look!
9. They have a great short term memory
When you step on their paw or you accidentally hit them with whatever you were throwing for them to fetch or catch, they won't remember. You will and you will probably hate yourself for the rest of your life thinking you hurt your doggy, but they won't remember in a couple minutes.
10. And thankfully they have a great long term memory
Even though their short term memory totally sucks, they have a good long term one. This means that they will forget you stepping on them, but they will never forget the love they have for you and the connection you share.
11. They know how to comfort you
Fun fact, dogs can actually mimic your emotions. Sad? They will cry with you. Happy? They will celebrate with you. Dogs know what to do and when to do it.
12. They always want to hold your hand
Paw?
13. And kiss you
*MMMWWAUUAH*
14. There is never a dull moment
Whether they do something totally bad or something totally cute, there is never a dull moment with your pup.
15. They're the cutest things ever!
This face speaks for itself!
