If you are a cat person, it’s probably in your best interest to stop reading this article. To make this point as simple as possible, dogs are amazing. There are hundreds of reasons that I could name why a dog could be one of the best friends a man could ever have.

Having a dog around the house can really make your life easier. If you’re ever needing help washing the dishes or cleaning up that food you just spilt on the ground, no worries. Your furry little friend will be there in a matter of seconds to help save you the work and time of cleaning it yourself. Not only are they extremely convenient to be living with a dog, but it’s also very motivating. They’re always begging to go on walks and be active. What’s better than watching a dog jump up and down with excitement when they hear those five magic words, “Wanna go for a walk?” When you take advantage of their abundance of energy, you’ll be on track to becoming a healthier person.

Not only are dogs good for you physically, but they are also always there for you emotionally. One thing that I love about my dog is that she never leaves me hanging. Do you ever make plans with someone and they cancel at the last minute? I never even have to worry about that situation because that means I’ll get to spend my night with my dog. I’m always her number one choice. You are never going to feel alone when you have a dog. They’re there cuddled up to you when you sleep and always watching you when you eat just to make sure you don’t drop anything.

Do you ever feel like dogs can mimic your emotions? I am 100 percent positive that they can. When you’re sad they look at you with their little puppy dog eyes and when you’re mad they bark at nothing which kind of makes it hard to still be mad. Overall, a dog is your best friend because they love you like you’re the only person in the world. They are the kindest living creature ever created and never fail to make you one happy camper.
