Dogs have the potential to be everyone’s best friend. With 340 different breeds of lovable puppers, a perfect puppy pal exists for every person. It does not even matter if you call yourself “a cat person,” you know deep down dogs take the superior standing. Check out this list to convert you into a dog person, or to confirm your love for the furry friends.
They Don’t Judge You
Dogs live in a different world than humans do. Judgement does not exist. You can sing badly, wear weird outfits and feel free to be yourself when they accompany you. Rest-assured they will not care; they love you for you.
They Can Be A Great Snuggle Buddy
Dogs basically always radiate heat, possibly created from all that warm love they have in their hearts. This heat, combined with their soft fur, make the perfect qualities for a great snuggle buddy. They can be comparable to a real life teddy bear when you sleep.
They Can Listen To All Your Problems
Dogs, unfortunately, can not talk to us, but they sure can listen. If you have a bad day, you can tell them all about it. They can be there to talk to when no one else cares to listen. They have your back.
They Will Always Play With You
Dogs essentially know how to play about three distinct games: fetch the toy, chase them around while they try and keep the toy from you and tug-of-war with the toy. That about sums up the games they inherently seem to know the rules of, and they love to play them often.
They Can Protect You
Dogs will always be the first to bark (very loudly) when something does not feel safe. They can alert you of intruders and much more. Unfortunately, they have been known to miss the mark on occasion. The “dangerous intruder” more often tends to just be a child passing by the house or a balloon waving around rather than a real threat, but the fact that they have the potential to warn you of real danger provides you with comfort and peace of mind.
They Look Nice
Dogs come in all types, sizes, colors and shapes. They may look a little different, but they all have exceptionally cute faces and wagging tails, no matter their breed. Who can resist those big eyes or that fluffy coat of fur?
You Can Dress Them Up And Take Pictures of Them
Many clothing options exist for the style savvy pup in your life. Buy your dog a classy sweater, fancy tutu or maybe even a cool tuxedo. Then, take pictures of them and post them for all your friends to see on Instagram. Captions like “look how cute my dog is!!!!!!” should accompany said picture.
They Make Great Driving, Walking and Eating Companions
Dogs love to ride in cars and stick their head out the window. They will always enthusiastically go walking or come to eat with you in the event you have no one to eat with. All in all, the great companionship they exude works well for those everyday activities.
You Can Play (Safe) Tricks On Them
Sometimes you can lovingly play tricks on your dog. Although most dogs do not give off a “stupid” vibe, sometimes you can pretend to throw a toy and watch them chase after it. Other times you can even sneak up behind them and they will jump in the air in all sorts of adorable ways. Just make sure not to ever do anything that could potentially harm your sweet pet.
They Make You A Generally Happier Person
Even if you feel down-in-the-dumps, a dog will always be excited to see you and they will always want to love you when you come home. Dogs even seem to know when you do not feel great and simply petting their fluff or watching them scratch their wet nose with their front paws can turn your frown into a smile.
You Can Teach Them Things to Impress Your Friends
Sit, stand, roll over, shake, high five, jump, speak, kiss, lay down, pray, run, come, spin, play dead, retrieve your newspaper. You name it, and you can (probably) teach your dog to do it. Note: it may or may not require copious treats to reward and motivate them.
They Will Never Stop Loving You
Dogs love you and you love them. Nothing exists that can quite compare to the relationship between a person and their dog. They leave their paw-print on your heart for the rest of your life.
