Five Reasons Dogs Are Man’s | Woman’s Best Friend

Let’s start with the basics.  We choose our dogs like we choose our friends, they connect with us on an emotional level.  There are so many stories of people going to the shelter to find their new best friend, and it was an instant connection.  It was the lilt of the dog’s head, the wag of their tail, or in our case with Wrigley (just one look).

So now that you are home learning about each other… here’s the reasons why you two are bonded at the heart.  

Dogs Make You Smile EVERY DAY

They are so cute and ALWAYS make you smile or laugh each day.   The human brain reacts to pictures of puppies very much the same way it reacts to images of newborn babies. Just relax and enjoy your dog’s unique personality and they will embrace you.

Dogs Do Not Judge

No matter how bad you look or feel or how much you screwed up your relationship with your significant other, your dog will always be there for you waiting to be petted, waiting to lick away your tears, waiting to let you know that you are the best thing that has ever happened to the world.

Dogs Keep Our Blood Pressure Down

Medical research has shown that dogs can relieve stress and anxiety. Redirecting your attention from that deadline at work, your domineering boss or your upcoming medical procedure and focusing on your dog can work just as well as some blood pressure medications.

Dogs Provide Motivation to Exercise

You are always more likely to exercise when you are doing it with someone (or something). It is oh so easy to roll over and hit the “snooze” button instead of getting up to go work out in the morning—unless, of course, there is a thumping tail hitting the  floor next to you waiting for you to get up and go for a walk. And when you are out with your dog, you both get the chance to socialize.

Dogs Don’t Require You to Spend Money to Have a Great Time

How many people do you know would be content retrieving a $0.99 tennis ball or a balled-up sock in your backyard for hours on end? How about chasing a red laser pointer in your living room until exhaustion sets in?  Dogs find joy in all play.








So, enjoy your dog, love and appreciate them every day of their life.
