TEN REASONS WHY DOGS RUN AT THE FRONT OF THE PACK
Dogs are a good fit in people world if you exclude four-legged assassins from fighting breeds owned by anti-social misfits with inferiority complexes.
Here are ten reasons to own a dog:
Dogs will never judge you. I don’t know whether Osama bin Laden has a dog, but I will guarantee that even his dog would be willing to look beyond the fact that the guy is a world class a$%&^*e.
Dogs are not coat-holders.
How many stories of dog heroism have been told over the years? A recent Canadian story told about a dog piling into a cougar before the cougar attacked a kid. Dogs are more than willing to throw down for their owners.
Dogs give unconditional love- sometimes too much unconditional love.
But one trip to the vet will cure the leg-humping part of unconditional love.
Dogs are great trainers.
Dogs need to be walked at least a couple of times a day and they can’t do it on their own in the city. Owners need to go with them and there is no downside to a seven day a week canine personal trainer that gets them off a couch.
Dogs are great ice-breakers for shy people.
An average dog is a pretty uninhibited creature that will not get embarrassed by its behavior. Self-licking and spontaneous bathroom breaks are no big deal for a mutt, so meeting new people is a very easy concept for Fido.
Dogs look at people as their personal rock stars. Most people have no discernible talents that place them ahead of the crowd- dogs don’t know that fact about people.
Dogs turn people into leaders. Dogs are fairly bright creatures but they aren’t really equipped to run the show for most humans. They need a CEO and people fit the bill for them, even mildly stupid people.
Dogs are trainable. They can help police forces, security services, armed forces or disabled people. Or they can just be trained not to go on the carpet, and that is enough for most people.
Dogs are good home security systems. Lowlifes prefer breaking into houses that don’t have large barking dogs on the other side of the door.
Dogs are not cats. This last one is self-explanatory.
COMMENTS
DENNIS:"Yes, there are many reasons why the Dog is called "Man's Best Friend" and the Cat is called,........"The Cat".
JODUNN:"Yep, that was a good one....love my dog,
MARK:"Regarding dogs: Talk about unconditional love from a dog ---- just lock your wife/girlfriend in the car trunck with your dog for even 5 minutes and see which of the two is the happiest to see you when you open the lid! Bet the dog likes your face and the wife/girlfriend would rather kick you in the face."
