1. You’re never lonely.
Sure, your friends bailed on you on a Saturday. You know who will never bail on you? Your dog, Netflix and that sixth scoop of delicious Blue Bell ice cream. Listeria be damned.
2. The naming possibilities are endless.
Do you remember that cool nickname you wanted to call a friend, but it never caught on because nobody else liked it? That doesn’t matter with dogs! You can call your dog "Charlie the Unicorn" and they don't care! They will literally answer to anything!
3. They’re always ready to love you.
This is probably the most important. No one loves you more than your dog. My mom may get mad at me sometimes, but you know who still loves me no matter how many times I don't come home at a decent hour? That’s right, my dog.
4. They always want to cuddle you.
Let’s face it, your crush doesn't.
5. They're always excited to see you.
It doesn’t matter if you literally left to just go take out the trash. Five minutes is forever to them, and they will greet you as if they haven’t seen you all day.
6. Puppy dog eyes never go away.
Sure, they went to the bathroom on the carpet after you took them out 15 minutes ago, but just look at those eyes!
7. They help you make friends.
If you don’t believe me, just walk your dog around campus or a park. Prepare yourself for a chorus of, “Awwwwww!”
8. They cheer you up.
There’s a reason they are called “Man’s best friend.” I know my dog literally will not let anyone cry around her. Those salty tears are her favorite. (I only know because of friends. I’m a man. I don’t cry.)
9. They'll never fail to entertain you.
We really don't deserve these creatures.
10. They're not cats.
Enough said.
