We often take for granted the unrivaled companionship that dogs provide us with. This scruffy species offers a type of friendship that simply cannot be found within the two-legged population. They bestow upon us the entirety of their existences, as long as they get treats. Humans are simply not worthy of the remarkable love and service of dogs and here’s why.
1. We leave them every day.
While we leave the house to go to school or work every day, our dogs are left at home by themselves to hold down the fort. Unless you have hidden cameras in your house or you come home to an array of trash and loose pillow stuffing, you really never know what your dog does all day. Truthfully, your dog probably doesn’t do much other than await your return and enthusiastically greet you when you arrive home.
2. They protect us.
Dogs are known for their protective tendencies — when strangers approach, dogs tend to boldly let us know. They are also very aware of any abnormalities. Many dogs can be trained to sniff out bombs, drugs, or even cancer. They possess skills to help and protect humans in ways that exceed human ability.
3. They love unconditionally.
Dogs are indifferent towards gender, race, age, or appearance. Unlike many humans, your dog never shows prejudice. Your dog doesn’t mind if you don’t wash your hair for a week or if you wear Crocs. Even if you look like you spent the last week on the couch watching Netflix, your dog is still more than willing to walk you around town.
4. They alert us when man-eating squirrels are near.
Dogs never fail to alert us when small animals trespass in the backyard. In the likely event that the neighborhood squirrels are violent and out for blood, your dog will be the first to notify you and dart towards the source of danger. Your dog’s willingness to stand between you and vicious chipmunks is proof of their true love and sacrifice.
5. They take care of table scraps for free.
You may not be aware of this, but your dog is also capable of serving as a garbage disposal. When you simply have no means of disposing of table scraps, your dog will be the first volunteer to remove your burden. They are also not picky regarding what’s on the menu. They might even consume a napkin or two if it gets in the way.
6. Dogs are cuter than you.
Chances are good that your dog’s selfies will get more likes than your own. Dogs are so cute and irresistible that they make us look better in general. Have you ever noticed how strangers approach you in public because you have a dog? Your dog automatically makes you seem more appealing.
7. They dedicate their whole lives to us.
You may have your dog for a short fraction of your life, but your dog’s whole life revolves around you. Your dog accepts the role of being your right hand and your best friend and it remains loyal to you for its entire life. While you may have family, friends, and responsibilities, your dog only has you. You are the center of your dog’s universe.
8. They make the best friends.
Due to all of these characteristics, your dog is one of the best companions that you can possibly have. Your dog loves you unconditionally, eats your food, and lives to make you happy. Truthfully, dogs are so amazing that we, as humans, are simply unworthy of their companionship.
