5 Reasons Why A Dog Will Always Be This Man's Best Friend
Our furry friends are not just cute creatures we pet and admire. They're so much more than that.
"Man's best friend" is a common phrase applicable to domestic dogs because of their persistent loyalty and companionship to humans. Our furry friends are not just cute creatures we pet and admire. They're so much more than that. I have a 7-year-old Siberian Husky named Sasha, and I feel like my life wouldn't be the same without her in my life.
Sasha is far from a good girl. She steals your food off the table, bites you when she doesn't get her way, endlessly BEGS for treats when she literally doesn't even do anything to deserve one (seriously, if you walk in the house, she thinks SHE gets a treat), and even eats the squeakers that she rips out of her toys.
HOWEVER — I still love her to death.
We STAN Sasha. And here's why.
1. She's great to talk to
I always have so much running through my mind to the point where I know any average person would easily get annoyed or lose attention when I go off on my tangents. Sasha listens. She GETS me. She has no choice but to listen to me EVEN IF she gets up and walk away. I'll just follow her and continue my conversation with her. Thanks for always listening, cookie!
2. Food never goes to waste
I'm not even talking about when you involuntarily give up your food because she steals it off your plate. If I can't finish something or I don't want my food anymore (and it's safe for her to eat), then we eat together. Sasha will never go a day hungry! I got you, girl.
3. I'm ALWAYS singing, and she'll never tell me to shut up
If you know me, you know that I never stop singing when I'm home. I will belt anything, from musical theatre to the newest pop song. My siblings tell me to shut up all the time, but Sasha? Not once. In fact, I serenade her pretty much all the time. She loves it!
4. She's always down to hang out and play
If I have nothing to do — no schoolwork, no work, no plans for the day — Sasha is always there to hang out. She loves playing tug-of-war and any activity where she can chase you down and, well, win. There really is never a dull moment having a dog that is an utter ball of energy and doesn't know how to calm down.
5. She models with me (kind of)
OK, I can't lie, taking pictures with Sasha is NOT easy. BUT, my girl is REALLY photogenic. Her eyes are crystal blue and shine beautifully in the sunlight. So, when I do get a good picture of (or with) her, it really is a special and memorable moment.
Sasha LOVES to meet new people and make new friends. So call her a good girl and tell her you love her to make her feel good about herself! I'll know if you don't.
