"Diamonds are a girl's best friend." Unless your dog is named Diamond, then that statement is completely wrong. A girl's best friend is and always will be her dog. There's so many reasons why dogs make such good pals and so many reason why we love them. Here a just a few of many reasons why no one can ever replace the bond a girl has with her dog.

1. They're loyal.

It doesn't matter if you've been away at college for the whole year, your dog is going to come running back to you the second you walk through the door. They'll never forget the love you show them.

2. They're good listeners.

Yeah, so dogs can't talk, but if even they could, they would be really good listeners. You could talk to a dog for hours, and they'd just sit there with their little ears perked up and heads tilted to the side.

3. They want your attention.

Honestly, it's nice to have the dog come sit next to you and want to play or get their belly rubbed. All they want is a little attention, your attention, in particular. It's hard to get people's full attention anymore, but you know you'll always have your dog's.

4. They're always happy.

I feel like a majority of people nowadays are moody and negative all the time. It's refreshing to be around your dog with their tail wagging and tongue sticking out.

5. They're so dang cute.

I mean, honestly, that's a majority of it. How can you not love this dog with how stinkin' cute it is? I mean, seriously, you can't say no to that face.

All in all, diamonds can never get in the way of a girl's friendship with her dog. Those sparkles don't have anything on puppy dog eyes.
