Man's best friend

I've just watched Marley and Me so I thought I would do a shout out to all the dogs out there :)

They love us whether we're rich or poor, whether we're happy or sad.. They love us for just being us, even if we're not the most loveable person on Earth. They will stick by our side through thick and thin. You won't find anything more loyal on this planet, yes okay that could be argued but c'mon, if you've had a good dog and treated him well then you'll know what I'm talking about.

There's been so many stories about a dog's loyalty to it's owner. How they've come to save our lives, not left our side when we've been ill, made us laugh when we've had a horrible day at work... and the list goes on. I bet you've got your own stories to tell.

I've not had a dog myself but oh do I wish I had one. I've had a few cats and one hamster but it's not the same, I know that. One of my cats was there for me when I needed her, she made me laugh and when it was her time to go, she made me cry but a dog would be so much different.

From experience, I've seen the look in their eyes when they're with their owners. My Grandma's dog Casper is absolutely gorgeous and I love him to bits, you won't find a dog like him. He's such a character. He'll wait on the top of the back cushions of the sofa and stare out the window until my Grandma and Grandpa come home. Sometimes when we're all just sat watching television, he'll run and jump onto my Grandma's chest and lay on her or lick her face. It's little things like that. You don't tend to find other animals that are as loving as dogs. Yes okay, cats have their moments but they go off and do their own things whereas dogs will sit by you, lay on you etc just be by your side or with you for most of their day. This will never change, I know that for a fact, dogs will always be loyal and love their owners no matter what.

You know how the saying goes, dogs aren't just for Christmas. They're a commitment but they're so worth it. At times they can be hard work but like many things in life, these things take patience but you're rewarded with a loyal and loving friend that will take care of you and be there when you need them no matter what.

Their soft, loving, brown eyes, silky fur, wet noses... everything about them is just perfection, and every owner has they're perfect dog, they're perfect friend.
