Dogs. Puppies. Man's best friend. No matter what you call them, it is an indisputable fact that the human race would not be the same without our canine companions. But do we really deserve dogs? Their cute little faces, fearless loyalty, and endless positive attitudes brighten the lives of everyone they come in contact with. They love without reservation and they never question our bad life choices. We are not worthy for many, many reasons.

1. Dogs are always happy to see you.

Gone for two minutes to get the mail? You better expect a warm, slobbery welcome when you come back.

2. Dogs love food.

They will never judge you for the second bowl of ice cream or the 2 AM Taco Bell run you're about to make.

3. Dogs love cuddling.

So your ex-boyfriend never really liked cuddling - who cares? Just get yourself a fuzzy friend and you'll never sleep alone again.

4. Dogs are great with babies.

You'll never have to call for a babysitter again with a puppy around the house to watch after your little guy. (Although a babysitter may still be advisable).

5. Dogs make the most mundane activities adorable.

Take a yawn, add a puppy, and multiply by three and what do you get? Endless amounts of adorable.

6. Dogs love snow.

There's nothing quite like the feeling of snow between their tiny, adorable, little paws.

7. And rain.

8. And sun.

9. And leaves.

10. Dogs love pretty much everything.

Their unconditional love for you applies to all of the things in your life, including the rubber ducks in the bath tub.

11. Dogs love other dogs.

12. And cats.

13. Dogs love the things that you love.

Things like Star Wars and this cute, mini BB-8 replica.

14. Dogs make great space explorers.

They don't really understand the concept of anti-gravity, but they sure do look cute in their little astronaut costumes.

15. Dogs selflessly help those in need.

From police service to therapy, dogs will always be there for those who are in need of a friend or a helping paw.

16. Dogs will never stop loving you.

No matter how many times you yell at them for peeing on the floor or chewing on your slippers, they'll always run back to you for a nice, slobbery puppy kiss at the end of the day.
