Being an animal lover, I find every animal adorable and I want to love and pet all of them. Despite loving all animals, people always get asked the question, “Are you a dog or cat person?” Generally there are cat people and there are dog people. Being the owner of three dogs and counting, I can definitely say I am a dog person. Personally I would love to have a cat as a pet, but I think that dogs make better pets than cats. Why

1. Dogs are happy

They're always in a good mood, which makes you in a good mood as well. They're always happy to see you, happy to play, happy to take a nap with you and happy about getting treats and doing a good job! They're very positive and it's adorable. Cats can be happy too, but they usually never share it.

2. Dogs know when to love you the most

Somehow when you're having a bad day, when you're sick or sad, they understandthat. They give you extra kisses and cuddles and want to make you feel better. They're even known for helping you with anxiety and stress. They know exactly how to cheer you up!

3. Dogs love to play

Yes, you can also play with cats, but it's nothing compared to playing with a dog. Theyre so enthusiastic and love to play indoors and outdoors. I know my lab loves to go crazy outdoors and run around and being me all her toys to throw around. It makes my day.

4. Dogs can protect you

Cats are usually known for not generally being protective of their owners or defensive for them. Dogs of all breeds, have a sense of protectiveness towards their owners. Dogs can even be trained and have a long history of roles like guarding, hunting, police work, and more.

5. Dogs love to play and keep us fit

Like said above, dogs love to play. Unlike cats, you can take them out for walks and runs and take them to parks and even exercise with them. They improve your general heath and keep you active.

6. Dogs are a man's best friend

Dogs are caring, loving, protective, trustworthy and much more. They become part of your family and your best friend. They love you unconditionally and you are everything to them. Dogs had become so special to humans through the years and become so close to us than any other pet.

I love cats too, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. They see us, they hear us, they heal us and most importantly they love us. Having three dogs as pets has taught me so much about friendship and love. Of course, for a lot of people cats can do these things too, they're also wonderful creatures for many reasons. It all depends on your personal opinions on different animals. So are you a dog or cat person?
