Why Everyone Should Own a Dog

Have you ever felt completely and 100% unjudged by someone? Like they would absolutely adore you no matter what? Like if everyone else in your life walked out on you, they’d sit by your side just happy to spend time together?

Callie and I

I have. I’ve got the most loyal best friend in the entire world. Her name is Callie and she’s beautiful- inside and out.

Good listeners are hard to come by; but not if you have dog. A dog will snuggle right up beside you and hang on to every word you say. They don’t ask questions, they don’t judge and they never say the wrong thing. Somehow, Callie can always sense when I’m sad. She gives me that signature nudge with her forehead and always manages to make me feel better.

And who needs a home security system? A dog will see and hear things in and around your house long before you will. A few “vicious” barks near the front door and any intruder would think twice before entering. Nobody would be brave (or stupid) enough to face Callie when she’s in protective mode. The term loyal doesn’t even begin to describe the commitment of a dog to its owner. You don’t mess with that.

Swimming

The bonus of owning a dog? It’s like having a very dedicated (and very cute) exercise partner. The dog never bails. She’s never “too busy”, she’s never “too tired” and she definitely never “just doesn’t feel like it”. If you can’t get motivated to head out on that jog you’ve been planning for yourself, do for the dog. The sheer joy you’ll get, knowing you just made her day is worth every step as your feet pound the pavement. Without even realizing it, the two of you are driving each other forward and inspiring each other’s happiness.

The single best part about owning a dog- it doesn’t matter if you left five hours ago or five minutes ago, the dog’s reaction is always the same when you get back. It’s like they haven’t seen you in days. Caliie’s tails wags so hard the whole back half of her body swings wildly from side to side. It’s a happy dance that could never be replaced by anything else.

Humanity needs an animal like the dog. The emotion they exhibit is unparalleled by any other animal. Dogs always find it in their hearts to forgive. They feel remorse for their mistakes and their love for you is never jeopardized when you make one. Dogs are remarkable; their ability to love with their entire heart is truly inspiring.
