If you've ever had a dog, you know that they are the best things that can come into your life. They love you endlessly and will become your best friend instantly. Here are some perks of having a canine soul mate:

1. They will love you no matter what

Dogs will love you no matter what you do and will never judge you. At the end of the day, they just love being with you and getting attention from you. Their love is pure and real and undeniable. The day I find a boy who loves me half as much as my dog loves me will be a miracle.

2. They're ALWAYS down to cuddle

They will never argue about being the big spoon or little spoon. Dogs love comfort and affection so cuddling is the best thing ever. The best part about cuddling a dog? When dogs are so sleepy that they feel like a dead-weight and are just laying on you without a care in the world. That's love.

3. You never really go anywhere by yourself

Sometimes I really want ice cream or something and I'm like "ugh I wish I had someone to go with me." So then I take my dog and I justify that by thinking "am I reaaaaalllllly alone if my dog is with me? The answer to that is nope because dogs are people too. It's true, look it up.

4. They make you appreciate and enjoy the outdoors

Getting up and getting outdoors has been such a nice part of my day since I've gotten a dog. Sure there are times when there are 2 feet of snow on the ground and my face gets numb, but for the most part, I love being outside with my dog. Its a nice break from all the hustle and bustle that happens in our everyday lives.

5. They will never argue with you

One of the best and worst things about dogs is that they can't talk. I would love to hear what my dog is thinking or feeling all the time. On the other side, he can never start drama with me, be mean to me, tell me my outfit makes me look fat. I think I'll appreciate the no talking thing.

6. They will up your Instagram game

I mean, come on who doesn't love a good picture of a little doggo? Seeing a picture of a dog on my Instagram feed makes me smile and feel warm and fuzzy inside. Just make sure not to overdo it otherwise people will think your only friend is your dog ha ha haaaaaaa.......

7. They are your favorite hello and hardest goodbye

Coming home to a dog is the best thing in the world. They act like you've been gone for weeks and get equally excited every time. While they are the best hello, they are absolutely the worst goodbye. Saying goodbye to your furry friend feels like you lose apart of yourself. Cherish the moments you have with them and love them unconditionally. You will never find a better best friend than a dog.
