Caring for a dog is just like caring for a human child. You don't know how much love you can give until you have an animal who makes that possible. A companion for most, our children for most, our protectors for life. I have a dog that means the world to me and I don't know what I would do without him. He stays right under me and makes me happy when I'm feeling sad. He is an amazing listener and gives me those puppy dog eyes when he's done something he knows he shouldn't. He barks to let me know someone is coming (my human doorbell) he's my friend. Oh did i mention he's my heater when im cold lol. Thanks everyone for reading.
