Article Title: Top Five Reasons To Get A Dog
Author: Kelly Marshall
Anyone who has grown up around dogs, spent a little time with
them or even just discovered the joy of owning one, knows there
is something to the old cliché of them being man's best friend.
There is simply something special about the bond a dog and its
owner or its entire family can form.
Unfortunately, a lot of people have never really been around
dogs and they don't quite understand the immense appeal of
owning one. Of course it's true, dogs do take some work. They
need to be fed, watered and exercise. Most importantly, they
need to be loved. Those who are willing to put in the effort
will find the rewards are amazing.
The top five reasons to consider a dog as a pet include:
• Loyalty. There are few creatures canine or otherwise that are
as loyal as a good dog. These animals will give their undying
affection to their owner for very little in return. A little
food, water and a scratch or two behind the ear is generally all
it takes to start forging a bond that will last a life time. It
takes very little effort to gain a dog's loyalty.
• Companionship. Along with loyalty comes a level of
companionship that is unmatchable. A good dog that has been
properly trained will go to the ends of earth and back with its
owner. Some dogs simply like to go along for the ride, others
like to run the rat race along with their owners. How much or
how little companionship takes place will be up to the owner
generally – the dog typically will take as much as it can get!
• Unconditional love. Most dogs will love their owners no
matter what they do or what they say. Even a misguided harsh
word will have very little impact on a dog five minutes later.
They are very quick to forgive and they don't seem to care how
rich, how poor or how successful a person is. All they care
about is pleasing their owners and getting a little love in
return. If only most humans were as easy to get along with, the
world would be a much nicer place.
• Protection. Even the smallest of dogs will go out of their
way to protect their owners. Providing an early warning system
for company, unwanted or not, and even a little brute force on
occasion, dogs can be wonderful for ensuring a safe home. In
fact, in many cases a dog's bark is more successful at warding
off burglars than an alarm system.
• Joy. The simple fact of the matter is that dogs can bring a
lot of joy into their owner's lives. There is something
incredible about coming home after a long, hard day to a wagging
tail and a happy face.
Dog ownership isn't for everyone. It does take commitment and a
sense of responsibility, but the fact is for those who can
handle this, the rewards can be amazing. Many people say they
had never felt a love as pure and genuine before they owned a
dog.
