Most of us, who have owned dogs ever since we can remember, could never imagine our lives without them. Even for those people who have only recently acquired a dog, the bond of friendship will be developing very quickly as the dog integrates into their lives and their homes. A dog really is a man’s best friend even if the expression has been done to death!
For those people who have never owned a dog but are thinking about acquiring one, it may be more difficult to make a decision. There are all sorts of considerations including the extra work involved, the responsibility and the extra attention that will be demanded of you. However, if you are prepared to commit to the above, your dog will reward you tenfold.
The five most popular reasons for getting a dog include:
Companionship: You dog will be your shadow; he will want to share every experience with you, traveling in the car, playing in the park, walking on the sidewalk, sitting at your feet and will spend his life at your side. Obviously the amount of companionship you require will be dictated by you but your dog will be there for you no matter what.
Loyalty: Your dog will never judge or criticize you and will always be on you side. There are very few animals that display the level of loyalty that the dog does whilst expecting the smallest of rewards. A cuddle, a rub of the belly, a gentle stoke, some food and water usually will suffice to achieve a lifelong friendship and unquestioning loyalty.
Protection: No matter how large or small your dog is, he will protect his owner and his territory (your home) from strangers. With is acute sense of smell and hearing you will know well in advance whether someone is coming up your drive or about to ring the doorbell. A barking dog does more to deter intruders than the most sophisticated alarm equipment.
Absolute love: Your dogs love for you will be unconditional. He will love you even if you behave badly toward him, when perhaps you are not in a good mood or have had a bad day. Your dog is only interested in making you happy and will forgive and forget even the most unreasonable behavior very quickly. Your dog doesn’t care how little or how much money you have, whether you have a job or not or what type of person you are; he will love you no matter what and only expects you to live him back. What a wonderful world this would be if people were able to behave in the same manner.
Joy. The word joy is old fashioned but there simply isn’t another way of describing what you will feel when your dog greets you with a wag of his tale and an expression of sheer delight when you return home.
When you have experienced the unconditional love and loyalty a dog offer, you will wonder how you lived without it.
