Why Dogs Rule
Ever wonder why dogs make such good pets? It�s not something many people seem to give much thought to, but I�ve been pondering it lately. I�ve had cats, snakes, fish, even a bird once, but as pets they all compare unfavorably (in my humble opinion) to playful puppy dogs. But why? It�s not like those other species don�t have their good points as pets.
I�ve concluded that the main reason that dogs make better pets is a simple one, although it�s not one that most people ever really think about. They show their need for us, openly and honestly. They don�t hold anything back. Most other animals tend to be aloof and sometimes downright arrogant at times. Cats come to mind.
I realize that my reasoning involves a certain amount of anthropomorphism (applying human traits to non-humans), but that�s my point! I think we can�t help but be more attracted to dogs
precisely because they appeal to us in human terms. They�re loyal, loving, needy, funny, always nice to us, etc. And I think the best pets are those who fulfill those kinds of needs we all have.
And it doesn�t matter if you prefer small dog breeds like a Chihuahua or a Yorkshire Terrier, or a larger breed like Golden Retrievers or Rottweilers. I�ve had dogs as pets in all shapes and sizes, and they invariably exhibit the wonderful traits we all crave. There�s nothing quite like coming home from a long day and being met at the door by a wagging tail and happy disposition. Know what I mean? Dogs are simply the best friends we can ever know!
Just some food for thought�
