5 Reasons Why Dogs Are A (Wo)man's Best Friend

Dogs aren't only a man's best friend; they are also the confidants of many woman -- and there are countless reasons why dogs are a woman's best friend.

I decided to get a puppy to help with my depression, as I have learnt by research that pet therapy has promising affects on mental illness. If I could explain just how much pleasure my puppy has given me, I could continue for days. I consider him to be my best friend, my shoulder to cry on when I’ve had a bad day, and he has unquestionably and cursorily become an essential part of my life.

If you are a woman, looking for some companionship that is not complicating, demanding or stressful, you should genuinely consider adopting a pup.

Here are some, but not entirely all, of the reasons why a dog is a (wo)man’s best friend!

1. Unconditional Love.

One of the largest and unsurpassed reasons why dogs are a woman's best friend is the love that they offer. There are no questions asked; they ask for nothing in return (except maybe a belly rub) and there certainly isn't any perplexity tangled with the love that is given from dogs. They live to love and your dog will adore you unreservedly.

2. Companionship.

When you entertain a dog by your side, you will never feel lonesome -- that is assured. Whether you want to go for a hike, take a joy ride, or just rest on the couch and bum around, a dog will be an outstanding companion for anything it is that you desire to do – and more notably will be joyful and delighted to do whatever it is that you want to do.

3. Non-judgmental.

One of the principal weaknesses countless women have is the constant suspicion that they are being judged. With all of the hysteria surrounding models, celebrities and other vixens, no wonder so many women are endlessly judging and feel as though they are being judged.

Well, fortunately dogs are non-judgmental. They don't care how much money you make, where you live, what you do for a living or what kind of shoes you are wearing. You could be unemployed, wear not an ounce of makeup and sport a moth-eaten sweater, and a dog will make no judgments and love you just the same.

4. Fun.

Dogs are just so much fun. It is incredibly tough not to smile around a dog. They love to play, chase balls, go on walks and act silly with you. And, the fun that dogs like having doesn't cost an arm-and-a-leg to enjoy.

5. Instinctive.

Dogs have some of the greatest instincts, and these predispositions can really be a benefit to you! When I was distraught, my puppy immediately recognized it and sought nothing more than to comfort me. He coiled up in a ball next to me, licked me and tried to offer comfort in any way he could. They distinguish and sense when you are sad, happy, scared and frantic—and they do their best to help you.

Now, if you ask me, that is some pretty remarkable stuff!


Now that I have my best friend, I couldn’t envision my life without him.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
