Some people like having pets, others don’t. And there are people who have never experienced having a pet so don’t know they are pet people yet.

Dogs are known as ‘Mans best friend’, with good reason. They can quite simply be the most loyal friend you could ever have. Of course they won’t be able to give you any words of wisdom or go training at the gym with you but there are many other quality things you can do together. From my own point of view my own dogs bring so much to my life, here are just a few examples:

Companionship

Before I got a dog I struggled to find a reason to go for a walk or to get someone to come with me. Without fail, my dog comes along with me every time. I have always enjoyed my walks out with my dog.

Motivation

Most people have those days when it’s difficult to motivate yourself. If you have a dog you need to. Every morning, my dog will make his way upstairs at around the same time and nuzzle his head under the covers to greet me. Sound like a nightmare? I can’t get annoyed with him. How can you when they are clearly so happy to see you and always appear to be in a good mood?

Safety Outdoors

Going back to my walks, there are areas I like to stroll that I would never have gone to on my own but having my wonderful loyal canine companion with me provides that element of security. I know that even though he quite happily licks everyone to death, if presented with a situation where he senses danger he will turn into a protector. Although I think that I would also become a protector of him too! That is what friends are for right?

Safety at Home

Today when nobody feels 100% secure in their homes, your dog is an excellent deterrant. Most dogs will bark or alert you in some way if they see someone too close to the house or hear a noise they aren’t expecting. Mine does, and I didn’t train him to do that. As long as the ‘would be robber’ doesn’t catch on that my dog would simply jump at him and except some kind of praise, we’ll be ok!

Entertainment

I have to say I am never bored in my house. You know those days when you want to do something but don’t know what. Nothing to read, nothing on television, don’t want to do housework. Well, your four legged canine friend will only too happily provide entertainement for as long as necessary. Play catch, teach him some tricks or take him for a long walk in the countryside. Boredom disappears like magic!

And I got all this for the price of an adoption fee from the local dogs home and a bag of dog food every month. My canine best friend; I wouldn’t trade him for anything.

Keep in mind that having a dog is almost like having a child. You do need to take good care of him. He requires medical checks, a good healthy diet and plenty of guidance to grow into a good, well behaved adult dog. So make sure you find a good vet, a decent pet supplies shop and read some dog books too because there are plenty out there.
