We all want the same thing: someone who is always happy to see us, a cuddle buddy, somebody to wake up next to, wet and sloppy kisses.

Wait, did you think I was talking about a person? No no no, silly. I was talking about a dog, obviously. It's no secret that dogs are far better than people and here are 11 reasons why.

1. They are always happy to see you.

Whether you have been gone for five seconds, five minutes, or five hours, they are always ecstatic to see you walk back in the door.

2. They are always willing to cuddle with you.

At the end of a long day, when you just need nap, or when you're feeling under the weather, your dog will always be there to snuggle up next to you and make your day a little bit brighter.

3. Wet, sloppy kisses.

Even if you aren't the biggest fan of someone or something slobbering on you, you can't deny that dog kisses are probably in the top 10 greatest things of all time.

4. They're always ready to play.

Dogs are always in the mood for some fun. Just grab a laser pointer, a ball, or basically anything they can chew, and you'll have a friend to play with for life.

5. Puppies.

Do I really need to say anymore?

6. It's nap time all the time.

Whenever you're down for a quick snooze or looking to sleep for a few hours, your dog is always willing to join you.

7. They are loyal.

It doesn't take long for your dog to become loyal to you, but once they do, they're by your side for life.

8. They love you more than anything.

You'll hear stories about dogs doing anything to protect their owners, as well as mourning the loss of their owners after they have passed away. This picture, which could melt the coldest of hearts, explains it all.

9. They have big dreams.

You can do it lil' guy!

10. They can always make you laugh.

You keep doing you, lady.

11. PUPPIES!

They're so fluffy, I'm gonna die!
