Anyone who knows me knows that my dog is the most spoiled rotten dog child in the world, or so I think. He sleeps next to my bed, goes everywhere that I do, and gets endless love and attention all day long. Many people do not understand the attraction so many of us have to these fur babies, but it is simple: dogs are designed to make human beings happier than any other thing on this planet.

1. They love you unconditionally.

Dogs will always give more love than they receive. Dogs naturally just want to be loved and show it in their endless cuddles and snuggles. How could anyone turn away some free cuddles with a fuzzy little puppy?! There is no one on earth who will judge you less or love you more than a warm hearted dog.

2. They understand our emotions.

Dogs seem to have a very intuitive nature, my dog certainly does. Whenever I come home sad or upset, my dog crawls into my lap and snuggles to make me feel better. And when I am happy, my dog is literally the most hilarious dog around, showing off his playful personality. No matter what a person is going through, chances are there is a dog waiting to make you feel even better.

3. They hold our souls.

Sometimes I think I am at my best when I am with my dog. Dogs hold our souls because they bring out our best qualities and remind us that we all have a soft side that is the one we wish we could be all day long. We don't have to pretend around them, we can be our true selves around our furry family members and have no fear of repercussions.

So if I haven't already convinced you, dogs really are the best friend for man. There is no other creature on this planet who can take care of your soul as well as a dog. These innocent creatures just want to be loved, so treat them with the respect and kindness they deserve and in them you will find a lifelong friend.
