So why is it we love our four-legged friends so much?

So why is it we love our four-legged friends so much?
There are a number of reasons depending on who you’re
talking to, but probably the most important is that they
provide companionship. A lot of people live by
themselves for various reasons, and having a pet in the
house is a godsend. This is especially true when the
human has lived with other people in the past and is
feeling lonely now that they’re alone.
Dogs are also not very demanding and offer us
unconditional love. There aren’t too many of our human
friends and family that we can say that about! Too often
we make demands on each other and don’t like to give “something for
nothing”. On the other hand our dogs look at us with their adoring eyes, wag
their tails, and follow us anywhere we ask them to go.
They can also be spoiled brats and a royal pain! Usually when that happens it’s
the human’s fault. One important aspect of the dog-human equation is that we
establish ourselves as boss upfront. Dogs by nature are pack animals and there
is always a leader or “alpha” dog that the others obey and respect. When we
adopt a dog, we become pack members and we must assume the alpha role or
live to regret it.
One way of looking at dogs is to compare them to children. They both need rules
and guidelines to function well in life. That doesn’t mean you have to be
overbearing or mean. You can show leadership and respect at the same time.
We’ll be talking about some of the ways to establish boundaries and still love
your dog with all of your heart. It’s all about knowing about the species.

Dear Dog Owner,

dog that makes other people envious.
