Dogs are no doubt one of the greatest things to ever happen to people. I have grown up with dogs and still have one to this day. I can't imagine my life without a pooch to greet me when I come back home. There are so many reasons that dogs are the best pets EVER.

1. They are always down to nap

There is no person in the world that is more willing to nap whenever and wherever than a dog.

2. They know how to make the bad days good again

Dogs seem to know when you're feeling down and are always willing to share their favorite toy with you to make you feel better. There is nothing they seem to love more than seeing a smile on their favorite human's face.

3. They be your workout buddy, no questions asked

Anytime my dog hears the Xbox turn on he knows it's because we're working out. He grabs his bone and gets in his spot and barks at me until I start to workout. Now I don't know about you but who else would be that quick to get ready to workout? No one I know!!

4. They give you something to laugh and smile about everyday

Whether it's their ears perking up when they see a squirrel shoot across the yard or that hilarious face they make when you say the word, "treat" they can make you laugh all the time. They are such funny animals without even trying and it's the cutest thing ever.

5. They find joy in the simplest things

Dogs seem to look at the world in the most pure ways. Who would have known that the greatest gift ever given could be a stick found in the back corner of the yard. Having a dog has taught me to look at the simple things in life as something more important and to not take it for granted. Who would have known that a dog could teach us one of the most important lessons in life.
