1. They are so innocent
A sausage, a small piece of wood, a pine cone, a ball and even the most serious adult dog loses its dignity and begins to play. A dog who loves you sees you from afar and launches into a sprawling race that ends in a festive and slobbering embrace that melts the heart for its spontaneity and purity. Not to mention when they lie down in front of you, belly up, with the front paws slightly bent and those below open, in a gesture of total trust and request for caresses and love. Dogs do not judge, they do not calculate, they do not they value you, they love you, they show it to you no matter who you are, what you do, what you have done in life.
2. They make you feel special
A difficult dog who decides that you are his friend, a kennel dog who decides that he has to go home with you, a happy and problem-free dog who seeks you to be pampered, the relationship that is established with each dog is unique and each of they makes you feel special. It is a very strange feeling and to those who have never tried it it may seem incredible and yet it is. Dogs choose you, and when they do they make you feel special like nothing and no one else in the world.
3. They are an amazing company
Dogs do not speak but they are a presence and a company of intensity and depth almost impossible to describe in words. With the dog you chat, play, communicate, go around, without ever feeling alone, even if only they sleep in the room where you are.
4. They distract
Dogs need attention and go out so the attentive and affectionate owner at least for a few hours a day is forced to forget the chaos of his existence in order to devote himself to the well-being of his quadruped - and therefore to walk in the park, play ball, run together ...
5. They do socialize
Dogs need to be in the company of their peers and the friendships born between quadrupeds very often evolve into very pleasant friendships between humans.
6. They do physical activity
The quadruped needs to go out at least three times a day, of which at least one, possibly two, must be walking, playing, running possibly in a park or in any case a green area, and since they cannot go anywhere alone, here the more or less lazy owner begins to lead a healthier and more active life of which he will soon feel the benefits.
7. They help put things in perspective
Male dogs have a habit of get a bidet and they engage in this activity when they feel like it, at any time of day, regardless of where they are and whatever is going on around them. A hilarious cartoon by the English Rupert Fawcett describes the situation beautifully: Three dogs dressed as Magi are bringing gifts to the Child Jesus, they are walking in single file with the first two stiff and proud, the third is on the ground doing a bidet. The second turns, looks at him and exclaims "Oh Colin, holy peace, couldn't you wait?" (you can click here to see the cartoon). Likewise, when a dog is sleepy, he rolls up on himself, or lies on his stomach, perhaps with his tongue hanging out, and snores, regardless of where he is and whatever is going on around him. As absurd as it sounds, their being unaware and indifferent to the chaos of everyday life somehow transmits itself to humans and helps them to live more peacefully.
8. They are always "small"
Dogs are very sweet, and the more they grow the more they become dependent and tied to their owners, they live for them and without their humans they are lost. Puppies are fun, cuddly and very cute, with adult and senior dogs there is a surprising harmony and emotional depth. At any age they are a continuous source of incredible and unexpected tenderness.
9. They make you want to do things
Dogs have fun and are happy and convey their happiness with their eyes and tails. If only to make them happy, one does so many more things than one would do if he did not have a quadruped - a walk on the beach, a walk in the woods, a stroll in the garden ... everyone has their own.
10. They make life better
A puppy that falls asleep in your arms, a paw that stretches out in search of caresses, a more or less large head that rests on the leg in search of confirmations and caresses, a more or less large body that lies beside you to make feel his closeness, a big head that turns to confirm that the path he has taken is right, a body that leans on his legs in search of safety ... These are just some of the many (very) reasons for having a dog is beautiful and makes life better.
