So where shall we start? I would like to say I am a "dog person" because dogs are just the bomb compared to every other household pet but that wouldn't make sense to you; cat lovers.
I am a dog person probably because I had always been raised in a household of canine pets. My family wasn't really into other animals around. Dog's clicked with my family because they are energetic, protective, high-spirited, obedient, and pretty intelligent. Dogs listen to your commands, unlike cats.
When you have a dog as a pet, you always have a best friend. They will play with you, exercise with you, love you. Not only will they be your best friend but many dogs are very protective of their owners when around people or other animals they do not recognize. They are like a pet and bodyguard all in one. (true story: when my father was a child he was saved, by his dog, from being kidnapped twice). And dog's are pretty darn intelligent when it comes to obedience and having their own personality. I have a corgi at home and he is the smartest dog I know. Dogs learn tricks pretty quickly, learn schedules well, and understand some words (if taught).
What more can you ask for? Dog's are life long companions. They are your workout buddies. And they are always there for you when you need someone to talk to or someone to hug.
I'm not saying that dogs are the best... but I am.
