I believe we don't deserve dogs, they are so much better than us. They give their whole lives to please others. Dogs know just what we as humans need even when we don't. I can't imagine a house without a dog. I've had dogs my whole life and can still name everyone of them. I believe dogs are not pets but family members. If my dog doesn't like you I'm probabaly not going to either. I find each breed, including mutts, so intriguing and fun to learn about. I've dog sat since I was in high school. I sat a jack Russell that gave me a run for my money and 15 toy fox terrier show dogs. Talk about getting my moneies worth. Dogs are life. They really are.
