I always wanted a dog and when I was 15 and I was struggling with heavy depressions, my father got me a puppy. Now, nearly four years later, he is the best therapist I ever had and he's literally my little hero! :) dogs are the best ♥

One of my moms friends has a dog that smelled smoke and came running to his owner to warn him
He got saved from a fire

I have a Dog, and you should too! Not only can they protect you from Drugs, Bombs and Peanuts they can do the following:
1. Guard your house. unless its a chihuahua.. then you're screwed.
2. Be a pillow when you're too lazy to get off the couch and grab one to watch a movie.
3. Will hug you back. especially if youre sad.
4. Sleep at the foot of your bed or next to you so the boogeyman doesnt eat you.
5. Will eat your leftovers so your parents cant say "children in africa would frown on you"
6. Will clean your face when you cant.
7. Will love you to your dieing day and for some... beyond.

I just hope my future kids will love dogs as much as I do. Cause if they won't, I'll have to sell them to China. The kids, not dogs.

[ximenamorales]

my parents don't like dogs or animals witch makes it hard for me because i love animals so much

[CoJau]

when i came back from the hospital after a major surgery, my dog sensed how tired and fragile i was and he lay next to me all day, guarding me, growling to people trying to approach me, as if he was protecting me :) he never did that before. he stopped when i fully recovered.

[foggy]

A dog is a great way to teach children the responsibility of owning one.

I watched this when I had a dog. Without my dog I couldn't stop crying because I loved all those feelings my dog brought me.

[LozzieOzzzie]

I had hurt my leg once. When my dog could see I was hurt, he came up to me and comforted me. ^ ^
