Dog or Boyfriend? Top 5 Reasons Why Dogs are Better

Dog or Boyfriend? Top 5 Reasons Why Dogs are Better

Dogs. What are they good for?

Well, there’s too little space to even begin to cover that whole topic on the Internet, let alone here. So let’s just agree that they’re pretty darn amazing, and perhaps more importantly, better than a boyfriend -- especially some of those icky ones out there (apologies to the good ones; you know who you are).

Without further ado, PetMD's top 5 reasons why dogs are better than men.

#1 Dogs Are Always Happy to See You

If we’re going to be super honest, happy isn’t quite the word. Dogs are actuallyecstatic to see you. It doesn't matter if you just stepped out for a quick errand or went on a 7-day vacation; your dog will always do a little dance of excitement and jump all over you upon your return. How many men do that?

#2 They Love to Snuggle

Dogs have no hidden agenda or ulterior motives while snuggling. Most dogs (let’s face it, all dogs) would snuggle with you practically all day long if you'd let them. But then again, who wouldn't want to snuggle up with the Queen of the World?

#3 Dogs Never Come Home Drunk

In fact, going to the pub and having a drink would be hazardous to their health. Dogs would rather be by your side, anyway. All. The. Time. That's why they howl and croon about their loneliness when you banish them to the backyard or the laundry room at night (although men do that also).

#4 Dogs Never Cheat

There's no need to dig through their stuff for secret love notes. And you're never going to come home to find him snuggled up to your hot next door neighbor (well, maybe, but it doesn’t mean anything). Dogs are supremely loyal to their masters. They’ll do anything to protect you. Now that’s what we call special.

#5 Dogs Don’t Care if You’ve Put on Some Weight

That’s right. They don’t. They just love you, unconditionally. In fact, they might just enjoy a little more of you to snuggle up to. Basically, as long as you feed them, pet them, take them for walks and love them right back, your dog is going to think you are the Queen of the World -- regardless of whether you’re a size 0 or a size 22.

Sorry, boys. The evidence is overwhelming. Dogs are just better than men.

THE TOP DOG

THE TOP DOG

To ensure that the pack successfully coordinates activity, one individual must exert authority and become leader. Due to hormonal influence on behaviours the dominant dog is often male, he asserts his leadership through displays of dominance- ritualized activities that tell other dogs that a top dog is pressed. Although helpful size is not the most important factor in determining who will be top dog is pressed. Although helpful, size is not the most important factor in determining who will be top dog. Dobermans and Rottweilers are naturally dominant large breeds, but many small breeds especially terrier and dachshunds, are more dominant that breed several times their size.

Although one dog always assumes the leadership role within a pack, this does not mean that all the other dogs in the pack will behave in a meek and passive manner. Most dogs are confident and asserting-although in a less provocative way than the top dog and called “subdominants” dogs, the ritual displays when they meet are subtle and often brief, allowing almost instant social activity when two suddonot dogs first come together there is a little tension, and the encounter results in late play or relaxed indifference, this situation usually occurs when a puppy comes across an unfamiliar adult dog.

Giant Black Dog as Big as a Horse

It is nice to have cute little kitten or doggy for a pet. It’s also nice to have some regular sized dog. But look at this dog; it is almost as big as a horse! Well, there are some people who have horses for a pet but they don’t keep them in their homes.

This ‘doggy’ has really friendly face but its size is terrifying. Yet, his owner doesn’t have a problem with that. They look like they have great and sincere friendship.
