Some people are dog people. Some people are cat people.

I am most certainly a dog person.

Now don't get me wrong, I love cats, too; I'm pretty much an all around animal person. I just really love dogs. They're so kind and friendly and just so precious. Dogs have a lot of amazing qualities to them that make them the perfect companions.

For one, they're pretty much all-the-time happy to see you. Every time you come home they're jumping up and wagging tail. When you wake up, they're happy. It's really encouraging to see them act like that; it gives you a boost of confidence to know that just your presence could make something so pure so happy.

They're good for keeping you occupied and for giving you company, too. They're so incredibly smart and will learn cool tricks if you teach them well. Also, if you're afraid to live alone, why not get a dog? They'll be with you and can even guard your house if you teach them how. Depending on what breed you get, the look of them could be enough to scare off a potential intruder.

Plus, dogs in general are just great. Puppies will provide you with hours of endless cuteness and laughter; their antics will brighten up your worst day. Full grown and older digs are just as awesome and are wonderful things to have in your family.

Dogs are one of the most purest and lovable creatures on the planet and should be protected at all costs. They are very kind and gentle and just want to love and be loved. So, if you're looking for a new family member and a forever friend, consider getting a dog!
