YOU REALLY SHOULD HAVE A DOG

BIOLOGICAL DIARIES

Most psychologists agree, expressing ourselves via art, blogging,

journaling, etc. is healthy. A dog will serve you as that biological diary

in which you can confide anything and everything and never worry

about someone reading it.

DOGS TEACH RESPONSIBILITY

If you are curious as to the type of parent you will be than a dog is your

answer. Dogs are huge responsibilities, but a baby is just as much if

not more of a responsibility. So learn to take care of a dog, and you will

learn the essential skills to take care of a child.

DOGS BRIGHTEN AN EMPTY HOME

Your kids have gone off to college and you find yourself alone in the house.

You may be tempted to start feeling lonely, but a dog can give you some

much needed companionship.

ALLERGY CONTROL

This is more for kids but research shows that if you are exposed to a

dog early on in life, you are less likely to develop allergies later in life.

DOGS CAN TEACH US HOW TO FORGIVE

Dogs are not perfect (but then again, who is). They will have accidents

on your carpet; they will chew something they were not supposed to etc.

However, as dog owners, you will see that these events are petty in the

grand scheme of life, which may help you see how petty the offences you

harbour in other matters truly are in the grand scheme of life.

SELF DISCIPLINE

Studies show that dog owners tend to be more self-disciplined than those

who do not own dogs. This makes sense since dogs require owners to

be disciplined with their routine and their needs.

THEY’RE CUTE!

Some people spend hours staring at dog pictures. Why? Because they

are cute! So why not buy one, you’ll have your personal cute buddy

whenever you want.

A DOG WILL ALWAYS BE LOYAL TO YOU

I could go on and on about a dog’s loyalty, but I think this picture says it best.
