I can think of hundreds of thousands and it is really difficult to choose just 10 of them all.

1. Dogs are the bestest, most sincere, reliable and honest friends you could ever imagine to have because:
   • they will listen to you with the greatest interest possible,
   • they will always express their joy you have come back home in most expressive and cheerful way possible;
   • they will not be angry at you for more than 5 mins (in the worst case which would happen if you do not take them for a walk as soon as they bring you the leash for example);
   • dogs would never seek for a revenge;
   • you should be sure that your secret would always be save with them;
   • Dogs could be a great company and you could take them anywhere you go;
2. If properly trained dogs are the most secure guards;
3. No matter how mischievous they could be, once they understand you feel bad about what they have done, they really regret it and seek for forgiveness;

4. Dogs smile, yes they do! There is not a better gift you could get at the end of the difficult day than the smile you bring to your puppy’s snout when you simply ask : You want to go for a walk?”;

5. Dogs can feel when it is time for fun and leave-me-alone time and they do respect it;

6. Dogs get emotionally attached to their owners and they are glad when you are with them and suffer when you are not;

7. Dogs can help you socialize – simply taking your loved one for a walk could “introduce” you to some really interesting people;

8. Dogs help you fight/prevent depression – simply knowing you will always have your dog by your side and it will love you no matter what till the end of the world is enough to fight loneliness;

9. Dogs deal best with your work stress – if you work from home you would feel the miraculous effect of having a dog during the first few days;

10. They are simply awesome:
