Sometimes I yell at my dog for the smallest things. She does this thing where she barges into my room and wakes me up, and I tend to get mad at her. But then I think about how she loves me so much, that she wants me to be awake so we can spend time together. As humans, we full-heartedly take our dogs for granted. We walk past them and ignore them like they aren't there. They greet us at the door, yet we pass by without even saying hello.

Dogs have the purest hearts of any living creature. You could wrong them, step on their tail, and even yell at them hundreds of times a day. But they will never want you to go away, and they forgive you right away. Can you imagine a world full of dog-like humans? What if we were able to love one another and forgive as quickly as dogs do?

To us, our dog is only a small part of our busy world. However, to the dog we are everything. Think about it. All day, they lounge around waiting for their best friend to come home. While we are spending hours at work or school, they are sitting at home thinking about how wonderful it will be when we arrive.

A dog genuinely is a man's best friend, and we truly love dogs. But I promise that we don't love them as much as they love us. I think of my dog a lot, and then my mind wanders to the moments that I took her endless cuddles and love for granted. Each time that she came running to me with her tennis ball, and each time she simply just wanted to sit with me in my room. I tend to give her way too little attention when my life becomes busy. I honestly do not know what I would do home alone without her presence, though. My home would not be home without her.

So the next time that your dog "annoys" you with their seeking of attention, remember that they truly deserve it. They see your bad days and mistakes, but love you more every single day. Make more time for walks, fetch, and petting. Every time you enter your house, hug your dog. Because in a world so crazy and messed up, dogs are the greatest best friends, and they will restore your hope in life every single time. Life is about finding happiness the small things, so don't ever let your furry friend feel unappreciated. They deserve the best owners on the planet.
