They’re called man’s best friend for a reason. Dogs are the best, and I literally don’t know where I’d be without my dogs. They’re my rocks and my source of joy and happiness. I know some people aren’t dog people (for whatever reason), and some people don’t have the time or means to care for a dog. If you do have the ability, you should get a dog, and here are some of the reasons why.
1. They’re cuddly
They’re covered in fluff for a reason. Sometimes all you need in life is to hug a dog. If you have a dog in your life, you can curl up next to one on your couch, and all your problems will be solved.
2. They cheer you up when you’re feeling down
Dogs can actually sense when you’re feeling sad. What’s more likely to make you feel better than a dog coming up to you and trying to get your attention or curling up next to you when you’re upset? In my experience, nothing.
3. They’re just giant children who won’t talk back to you
Dogs are big babies who want nothing but love and are infinitely cuter. They’re adorable, enthusiastic, excited about life, and always get into trouble. You care for them like a child, except they never talk back or fight against you (except maybe for when you give them a bath or take them to the vet). Better than a child in every way.
4. They’re sources of entertainment
Dogs don’t have a care in the world, and they just want to have fun. Whether they’re playing frisbee or tug, or rolling in the dirt, or running into a wall, they’re just out to have a good time, and chances are it’ll make you smile or laugh.
5. They’re your companion for life
People come and leave, but dogs are here forever. You’re their entire life. They love you more than anything, they’re loyal, and will never leave your side. A friend and companion for life. Sounds good to me.
6. They just want your love and affection
Dogs don’t want anything, and they won’t ask for anything, save for one thing - your love and affection. Deep down, this is all they need and all they want. If you give them love and care for them, they will give this and more back to you. Dogs are pure souls and sources of sunshine and happiness who will make your life better. To everyone who can, get a dog. It will vastly improve your life.
