15 Ways A Dog Will Change Your Life!

Everyone strives to become a happier person. But everyone has different paths to happiness. For some people that is a new car or other material, others meditate on their way to happiness or work hard toward the fulfillment of their goals. You get instant happiness when you get a dog and take care of it. So, here are a few reasons why adopting a dog is the best thing you could do.

1. It doesn't matter how bad your day is or how hectic your work is, coming home to your dog makes it all worth it!

2. Owning a dog is like having a die-hard fan! No matter how dissatisfied you are with yourself, you know your dog thinks you are the most beautiful and perfect person in the world!

3. You never feel lonely. Who needs all kinds of social activities when you can just laze around with your dog!

4. They never judge you. What else do you need? You can dance in your pajamas, sing loudly, wear old clothes all day, and they still think you're the sweetest person in the world!

5. Who cares if people think you're a bad cook? For your dog, you are the best chef!

6. Those eyes. Those big, beautiful eyes make everyone melt!

7. You get a new best friend! They love the same people you love and hate the people you hate!

8. They make you a responsible person. You have to get up in the middle of the night because they have to pee, you have to keep an eye on their vaccination schedule, feed them on time, and make sure they don't feel left out.

9. They keep you safe and they protect you. This is why dogs are called man's best friend!

10. They teach you about love, compassion and selflessness. They teach you the ability to look for the best in someone. They teach you the art of forgiveness! Think about the one time you came home really late when they've been waiting for you all day and still jump around happy when they see you.

11. They can sense your mood and emotions. They know when you are happy and when you are not. And they respond to that and make you happy again!

12. Sure, they don't talk, but they communicate. And sometimes they understand you better than any of your friends could!

13. They will give you hope and teach you to look forward to each day with enthusiasm.

14. They are the most beautiful souls you can come across. They love you more than themselves and feel your grief much more than you do.

15. They teach you to be satisfied. Give them a cookie, and they'll be so happy.
