RE: Six Reasons Why Everyone Should Have A Dog

in #life8 years ago

Here, here!
There is a reason they are known as "Mans best friend" it's because they are.
Unconditional love is the reward you get for having a dog in your life and as you mentioned that means they are good for your health too.
My property isn't fenced yet but as soon as it is I'll be looking for a four leg family member to join our lives.
Notice I didn't say 'pet', a dog becomes part of your family just like children.
I lived with a dingo for a while many years ago, she's getting old now and I'll have to go visit her soon. I miss her immensely and It's going to be tough when she passes.
Dingoes, are dog like but take an incredible amount of taking care of.
I've said for a long time that I love my dog so much, I don't have one yet. That was because my lifestyle didn't have room for the dedication required to share it with one.
Things have changed now and I can't wait for our fence so we can keep one safe and loved.
Cheers @son-of-satire !

Yes. I agree that they are family. That's why I consciously did not use the words own a dog or dog owner in my piece. I think this is wrong sentiment to have when inviting a dog into your home.

I'm quite lucky with Vito, in that he never runs further than I can see him. He likes to be with me at all times. Mhysa on the other hand... She has so much energy, ridgebacks typically do. She always has to be chased in order to get her back on the lead to return home lol.

BTW, this is me and Mercy, the Dingo.
