Dogs Are Our Friends Too

“A True friend leaves paw prints on your heart”

Dogs Are Our Friends Too

A lot of people say, "diamonds are a girl’s best friend," but it is my belief that a dog is a girl's best friend.

People who aren't dog lovers wouldn't understand. They characterize dogs as just animals and pets. In reality though, a dog is so much more than a pet. A dog is a friend, a companion, a shoulder to cry on. Growing up, I was raised with three dogs in my life.

Today, two of them have passed away. It wasn’t until they passed away that I realized how much of an impact a dog can have on someone’s life. That’s when I realized a dog is so much more than a pet. A dog is family. Whether a dog is begging you for your food, trying to convince you to walk them, or simply greeting you when you get home, dogs do all things that put smiles on faces around the world.

Many people don’t realize this, but a dog is just as much of a friend as a human is.

A dog can be there for us in ways humans can’t, whether for furry cuddles or to just listen, a dog will always have their owner's back. Dogs are the most loyal creatures in the world. We know it can be hard to find a human who is loyal, but with dogs? It’s easy.

Almost every dog is loyal and obedient to their owners. A dog is more than a dog. Only dog lovers will understand that dogs and humans have a bond that is unbreakable.

It is hard to find a person to trust, but a dog will always be on the side of their human. Trust isn’t even a worry with a dog because knowing you can trust them is practically guaranteed. People say, “a dog is a man’s best friend” (or anyone's best friend, really). But, a dog can be a woman’s best friend because that has been the case with my dogs and me.

Dogs come in all shapes, sizes and personalities, but no matter what, each dog is beautiful. From their big eyes, to their lovely faces, to their soft coats. Our furry friends can be 5 pounds or 300 pounds, either way each dog has the same agenda: to be there for their owner and make them happy.

It is essential for us to remember how important our dogs are to us and to always be grateful for them.

To them we are their entire world.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
