At the end of a long day of work or classes, talking to people is probably the last thing you want to do. You'd rather not tell your mom about your day or call your doctor's office because you've been dealing with obnoxious co-workers and/or customers all day. All you really want to do is snuggle up on the couch with your dog. Honestly, at the end of the day (or really anytime), you have no problem spending time with your dog but don't even want to think about being around people. It's pretty clear that dogs are just, well, better than people, and here's why:
1. They won't talk back to you.
Your roommate might not want to hear you complain for an hour about your coworkers, but your dog will listen and not say a word!
2. They make great blankets.
There's just no better way to fall asleep than with your dog curled up next to you, snuggling and keeping you warm at the same time.
3. They don't hold grudges.
While people seem to hold onto your mistakes, dogs forgive you almost instantly. Maybe Fido was sad because you left for work in the morning, but his disappointment definitely won't show when you come home at the end of the day.
4. They appreciate the little things.
Never have I seen a human as excited over a stick or a chewed-up tennis ball as a dog can get.
5. They're fiercely loyal.
People may turn their backs on you, but dogs certainly won't. Your dog is your dog and he knows it.
6. They won't judge you.
When you're out with your friends and they all order salads, it's unlikely that you'll opt for that huge bowl of pasta. But when it's just you and your dog? You'll enjoy every last piece of spaghetti.
7. They're practically always in a good mood.
Your boss's mood may change every ten seconds, but, for the most part, your dog is just happy that you're home and happy to be alive.
8. They're happy doing absolutely nothing.
It seems like your friends always want to be going out and doing something all the time, even when you'd rather just be watching Netflix on the couch. Your dog will be right there with you, happy to lounge around.
9. They're just plain cute.
Let's face it...dogs are cuter than people. That's just all there is to it!
