Why Dogs Are The Best

They are definitely man's best friend.

Why Dogs Are The Best
Abbie Frankel

Dogs have been man's best friend since forever. I have two beautiful little cockapoos (a mix between cocker spaniels and poodles), and they never fail to put a smile on my face. I love them with all of my heart.

Dogs have the natural ability to brighten the room by wagging their tails. If you are ever sad, a dog is sure to turn that frown upside down. There is just no way that you can keep yourself from smiling when you are around a dog.

Sometimes they can be slightly annoying when they are continuously barking or begging for food, but I can promise you that you will not stay mad for long. Their pout will immediately melt your heart and everything will be okay again.

Dogs are like mini dishwashers. If you are ever feeling lazy, your dog will gladly lick your plate clean, as long as the food is safe for their consumption. Think about all of the time you could save if they clean your dishes for you!

They also tend to act as a shower. Whether you have been away from your dog for a long time or even three minutes, the reunion can and will get a little intense. Your dog will kiss (or lick) you until they cover your whole body with their love.

Dogs are incredibly loyal. Your friend that you were supposed to go to the park with bailed on you? No problem, your dog will never bail on you or your plans, especially if it involves taking a trip to the park. They will always be there to hang out with you.

If you do not sleep with your dog(s), they will be the first to greet you in the morning. One of my dogs will even wait at my door wagging her tail until I wake up.

No matter their size, your dog will fight for your protection. If they ever sense danger, they will prioritize your safety. Even the tiniest dog seems to be a giant when they need to guard you. They will, without fail, have your back.

Dogs are always willing to cuddle up with you on a rainy day and watch a movie. You will not even have to worry about agreeing on a film! What is better than a movie with your best friend on a rainy afternoon? Beats me!

They will stick around through the ups and downs. Dogs have a really bad short term memory so forgiving and forgetting is easy for them, especially the forgetting part. Nonetheless, they will always be by your side.

Dogs make you want to be a better person. They have a heart of gold and they inspire people to have the same. Dogs make us better people.

And last but certainly not least, there is no one that will love you more than your dog does. The unconditional love they provide you with is one like no other.

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.
