As humans, we all know that we are undeserving of dogs. Dogs make the world a better place with their kind acts and adorable gestures. Dogs are some of the simplest pets, always there when we need them. They don't ask for much, except maybe a couple fries every now and then. Everyone should have a dog, especially when in college.
1. Loving

There is nothing more powerful than love. Who will love you when you are upset, angry, or crying? A pupper! Dogs are mans best friend and ladies love a man with a dog! Dogs will give you love and affection even if you don't need it. Many dogs come off as clingy, but it's not their fault they just want to show their appreciation. When you feel unloved a dog will give you more love than you can ever expect or ask for from another human.
2. Good listener

Even if you're crying and spewing out incoherent sentences, your dog will listen. They might not understand the words but they do understand the pain in your voice and will be there to comfort you. Dogs aren't like having a boyfriend or girlfriend, where you always have to listen to them talk about what they want and you don't get the same.
3. Emotional support

Dogs can always tell when we are down about something. It's like another instinct that goes off in there head telling them "my human isn't okay." Dogs are the best emotional support systems because they won't judge you and they will cuddle you for as long as you need them to. Dogs worry about you and you only, occasionally they worry about food but mostly you! With dogs having to see you walk out the door, early in the morning and nearly not seeing you all day makes them that much more clingy when you finally make it home.
4. Adorable

If you don't thing dogs are cute you're most likely evil or just a bad person. Honestly though no matter how big or small dogs are they are adorable. Waking up to your adorable furry friend everyday is the best possible thing. You will have a better start to your day and that will lead to an even better day entirely. Studies have actually shown that the way you start your days can affect your entire week! Start your day with a pup and have better weeks.
5. Keeps you active

Besides the fact that dogs are amazing listeners and cuddlers' which is great for your mental health. They ,benefit your physical health and well being. You have to walk your dog every day. If you have a hyper dog, you have to run him or her every day. That can be a workout, but that is the great part about it. Your dog will help you get in a daily work out and you won't even have to complain about going to the gym! In my opinion that is a win-win.
If you aren't convinced that you need a dog by now, there is something wrong with you. These amazing creatures will make your life 100 times better every morning that you wake up next to them. They will love you and take care of you just as well as you take care of them. Dogs are everyone's best friend.
