Dogs are definitely my favorite animal. They are loyal and give what they get.Attention and love.
So often a dog can indeed be your best friend. Not only that, but they are extremely protective.The old adage "dogs are man's best friend is so often extremely true. Dogs are extremely intelligent they know who tolerates them and who really is an animal lover. They are also extremely perceptive.
Dogs have also been known to rescue people of which there is numerous documented cases. I am so in awe of many of the stories about dogs trekking across far lands to be reunited with their owners. They have pulled children from fires, pools, cars you name it they've basically been there. And all they expect in reward, is a pat and fresh food.
Dogs are the most playful animal.There's so many things you can do with a dog, swim, hike, walk, play with a ball, play Frisbee. So many even surf and hop on a skateboard these days!
Dogs also seem to have an inner sense of danger, they often for-warn you of a disaster or intruder.
Dogs also are used as guide dogs or companion dogs for the disabled.There are dogs especially trained as hearing dogs also.Thus they answer the door or acknowledge the kettle is on and so forth. So often they also fetch things for the wheelchair bound person. They are amazing!
Dogs are wonderful company in particular for a widow or widower who one may shower with affection and have it returned. The person tends to embrace the company of a dog when they are grieving and the animal is indeed perceptive to their grief, responding with attention and love.
Children with cerebral palsy etc are indeed delighted when in the company of a dog.
Dogs indeed are an asset to many. Who can resist big eyes, the tail wags and the doggy grin?
