First off, we don't deserve dogs. I've come to the conclusion that if humans were more like dogs the world would be way better off. And yes, before you ask, if you aren't a dog person, we can't be friends because are you a thief of joy? Enjoy these eight very specific reasons on why we should be more like dogs:
"The more people I meet, the more I like my dog."

1. Kisses and cuddles.
This world would be a whole lot better if everybody could just agree that there's a need for kisses and cuddles at least once a day. At minimum.
2. If they could talk they'd ask you about your day.
Pay attention to the friends who don't ask you how you're doing. Every time I walk in the door my dogs see me like I just conquered something bigger than waking up this morning and getting Panda Express takeout.
3. They don't leave you when they're bored.
You don't have to worry about impressing your dogs because you just sitting next to them is enough. No expectations and disappointments. What a beautiful concept.
4. They will always eat a treat.
There no such thing as "no thank you, I'm on a diet" to dogs when you offer them food and that is truly inspiring. Bless.
5. Cute as hell no matter what they look like.
Show me the "ugliest" dog you've ever seen and I'll tell you right now that everybody and their mother will find him cute. You better believe that what that dog looks like doesn't matter because he's still cute as hell. Wouldn't we all be so much better off if we looked at everyone that way?
6. Down for whatever.
Imagine a life if every exciting thing we were asked to do we just said yes. Road trip? Down. Lake? Yep. Hike? Ready when you are. Dogs don't care about how tired they are or how hot it is outside, they're always down for an adventure the second you open up your car door.
7. No matter who you are, they'll love you forever.
Don't you wish the world accepted everyone as they are like dogs do? It doesn't matter what you look like, who you love, how much money you have or what your status is because in your dog's eyes, you are you and that alone is good enough.
8. You are always important.
A dog is a man's best friend. He's the only living creature on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. Isn't that a wonderful thing.
"The average dog is a nicer person than the average person."
