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…
