Many people label dogs as “man’s best friend,” but the truth is that they are so much more than that. When we give our love freely to our dogs, we receive their love in return. Dogs can truly be man's and woman's and children's best friends, and we should feel honored to be theirs, as well. Dogs are the best because they shower everyone with unconditional love, whenever they need it (and even times when you didn't think you wanted it). Dogs are the only creatures on this planet that love you more than they love themselves. So if you are stressing over colleges, work, or just about anything, there is one thing in life, though, that will never disappoint you: a dog.

1. You are greeted every single time you come home by licks and kisses.
2. Your dog will always be up for cuddling, especially after a hard day at school or work.
3. They don't mind listening to you complain.
