We may dole out treats to our dogs, but they give us the biggest treat of all: health, happiness, and years of slobbery kisses.
Loyal, protective, and always happy to see you, dogs have been human companions for more than 18,000 years, making them one of the first domesticated animals in history.
As a dog lover myself, there is no doubt in my mind that having a dog brings many upsides to my life. I mean, how can I NOT live happily waking up to a smiley face and wagging tail?
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, ain’t that the truth!
Here are some of my favorite dog quotes that reminds us all how wonderful our dogs are:
“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.”
“Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read.”
“Whoever said diamonds are a girl’s best friend never owned a dog.”
“What a beautiful world it would be if people had hearts like dogs.”
“In a perfect world, every dog would have a home and every home would have a dog.”
Sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome dog owners. The last one (#20)
brought tears to my eyes…

My little Grandpup passed on and is dearly missed by all. (Even when I took him to visit at the church down the street and he drug toys out of the nursery)

#20 was a heartbreaker. But it reminded me of Bella. My sisters dog who had to be recently put down. My sister never thought she would be strong enough to be by her side until that day came. She sat next to her outside (the vet okay’d the euthanasia to be outside in the sun and trees where Bella loved it) until her last breath. Truly mans best friend and their unconditional love is not comparable.
