A lot of people would be willing to argue that they have the best breed of dog. Well, let's all agree to disagree. I can tell you personally, I HAD THE BEST DOG IN THE ENTIRE WORLD GROWING UP. The gentle giant, the big teddy bear, the mistaken horse-dog...A Great Dane. I will be the first to admit, my dog was my best friend growing up. He stuck by my side through 10 years of awkward phases, and many many amazing memories. Recently, I had to put down my sassy furry friend and not a day goes by that I don't miss his sass, his excessive begging over my food, or his cuddles. Those who don't have dogs may not understand this, but I can honestly say I learned so many things from my four legged bff. So here they are.

1. The love you get from a dog is so unconditional.

2. Dogs can sense when something isn't right. Often times, my dog would come running over to give me his attention when he knew something was up.

3. Each dog has their own personality. You truly have to connect with the dog in order to find it out.

4. No, he's not a horse. He just has a lot of body to hold all of the sass and love.

5. When you're an only child, some times a dog comes in to fill the space of a sibling.

So yes, maybe I am a crazy dog lady.. But I loved that dog so so much and I miss him every single day.
