If you have been sitting on the fence about dog ownership, allow me to give you a push. Dogs need people and people need dogs. Here are my top ten reasons in support of dog ownership.
1. Households with dogs that bark are less likely to be robbed
2. People who share their lives with Dogs learn to think about something other than themselves.
3. It is a proven fact that petting a dog daily is stress-relieving.
4. When your world is turned upside down and nobody else seems to love you, your dog will stand firmly by your side.
5. Children who are raised with dogs learn to be more compassionate and understanding.
6. The needs of a dog will cause its owner to unplug daily and stay connected to the natural world.
7. The act of feeding a dog can cause an owner to focus on his or her own nutrition and make better choices.
8. The loving touch of a Dog can cause the human body to release positive endorphins to be shared with other humans - "pay it forward" applies here.
9. Interacting with dogs teaches us how to be human.
10. The love for a Dog is universal. Take yours on regular walks and you will meet the kind of friends you always wished to have.
