Dogs are honest. They make their feelings obvious.
They lick their own genitals in public without the slightest bit of shame. Muslims Militant Islamists don't like dogs. What are your reasons? |

they greet me at the door every day after work. they are always sad to see me go but happy to see me return.
they guard my home when im not home they would give their life to protect my wife. they can hear things i cant. they let me know when the wood stove needs to have a few more logs thrown on they are irreplaceable. i feel sorry for those who choose not to, or cant have a dog. there would be a huge hole in my life without a K9 |

They realize when you've had a bad day and pay more attention to you.
They are jealous when you pay attention to another animal, but don't hold it against you. They'll put up with your shit, no matter what. They are up for whatever you want to do, period. Downside to dogs: You have to have someone to take care of them when you go out of town, and can't take them with you. They can't tell you what's wrong when they are sick, makes it easy to go overboard when your vet needs to make a boat / house / car payment. If you don't get the right dog, all of their loyalty / aggressive behavior can turn bad - even when you do what you should as an owner. FWIW - Pembroke Welsh Corgi for the win! Smart, herding animal, big dog trapped in a small dog's body. Happy as couch potatoes, but also able to accompany you on any adventure if you keep them fit. Only downside is a shitload of shedding. |

You can come home drunk and it'll still love you.
You can come home broke and it'll still love you. You can come home with a hooker and it'll still love you. You can eat all the good stuff off your plate and give it the scraps and it'll still love you. You can give it a two dollar present [toy] and it'll love you for it. You can fart and it'll think you are a kindred free spirit. |

Quoted: They are always excited to see you. It doesn't matter how long you were gone, where you went, who you were with, or whether you brought them anything. A good dog is loyal to a fault. It's hard to find that in humans anymore. +1000000000 If you hate dogs, you're somebody I don't much want to associate with...  If you're indifferent, that's fine, but if you hate them - well... We won't be very good friends.

Mine killed a Copperhead last week out in the pasture where my lady friends 3yr old son likes to play.  He also attacked a stray dog the instant it came onto the property when I was mowing while the boy was sitting on the porch playing with him.
Blue Heelers are damn protective, loyal dogs as are most. One in Florida saved an old woman that had fallen in her back yard from a big gator that was sneaking up on her a few years ago near where I used to live. |

When my son was a toddler, he used to amuse himself by grabbing onto my terrier's fur and pulling it with all of his strength. We would watch him so that he wouldn't unknowingly torture her, but on the occasion that he slipped by us and got to her, she never snapped at him, never growled... She understood that he was just a tyke and didn't know any better. If he fell and got hurt, she would make sure that she was at his side trying to help. RIP Stella. |

Two Elkhounds, a lab mix, and an American Eskimo have helped raise our kids. None of them have ever snapped at a child except in play, and even that's rare. Youngest son is almost 13 and the Eskimo still puts the young Elkhound in her place if she's playing too rough (in the Eskies opinion). They're fiercely protective of their puppies our kids. I'm also fairly convinced that there are no bad dogs, just bad people. Dogs can be turned bad, but if they were raised by good owners they wouldn't. A complete stranger could reach into our dogs bowls while they're eating and not be hurt. Coming into the house and/or threatening the kids might get an armed ripped off, but that's a good thing IMHO. Dogs rock. |
