One of the biggest arguments involving dogs right now is whether they're part of the family or just pets. No matter what you think, all humans can learn a little something about love from dogs. This is unconditional love as shown by my dogs:
1. They don't care what you look like
Let’s be honest, dogs don’t care what their owner looks like. They're going to love you anyway. My dogs don’t care if I just rolled out of bed with my hair sticking up. All they care about is being fed, playing fetch, and sleeping.
2. They will immediately greet you at the door
As soon as they hear me unlock the door they come running as fast as they can. Nothing makes me happier than getting home, opening the door, and getting attacked by three big potatoes, even if they knock me down most of the time
3. They will always cuddle with you
As a dog owner, I can say that dogs have no idea what personal space is. I usually end up with a dog sitting on my head. My dog will even cry if you don’t cuddle with him. It just shows that they need love and affection just like we do.
4. They are always there to comfort you when you cry
When I was little, I started crying in my sleep. My pup climbed all the way up the ladder to my loft bed and started licking my face to stop me from crying. As an English Bulldog, it had to have been really hard to get his fat body up a ladder, but he did it to make sure I was okay.
5. They will always smother you with kisses
When you least expect it they will land a big kiss right on your face. Although it’s kind of gross, it's the only way they know how to show you some love.
6. They follow you everywhere
All three of my dogs love to follow us around. My mom likes to march around our house with the dogs following behind her as she yells, “It's the bulldog train!”
Just remember to love your dogs because, unfortunately, they won't be around forever. For the short amount of time they are with you, you will be their everything. Their lifetime will be spent bringing you a lot of laughs and happiness, until they inevitably pee in the house that is.
