There is nothing better than a dog's love, they are man's best friend for a reason! I've been around dogs most of my life, and there are no better companions in life. I live a very active lifestyle, and would love the opportunity to exercise with a furry jogging buddy. I'm not sure which of us would get tired of playing fetch in the park first! I have yet to meet a dog that outmatched my energy and love for the outdoors, and that convinces most dogs that I'm a good friend to have. If your dog is the lazy quiet type, that's no problem. We'll still go out for a walk or a jog but will spend most of our time playing inside, maybe watching Air Bud? (Ha!)
