Choose a Dog

One of the best things about owning a dog is that they can fix just about any problem you may have. A dog is always there for you when you’re sad and will listen intently to your every word. If you’re full of energy, a dog is happy to take you for a run or walk, granted you bring portable dog bowls with you, speeding up or slowing town to your pace at any given moment. Though dogs are content to be alone most of the time, if you get lonely, your dog will be more than willing to play. Dogs are know for being a human’s best friend, because they are ready to meet you at your level anytime. Dogs are not only great for the disabled and children alike, but also for elderly people and really anybody else.

Whenever my husband comes home tired and beaten down from a hard day of office slavery, the dog is likely to lift his spirits as much if not more than my home-made meatloaf. Our dog is named Cody, and he’s a Great Dane. His beautiful face seems to smile all the time, and his coat is so soft I will lay next to him on any one of the great dane dog beds we got for him. You can tell he has more energy than even I can believe, just by watching how much his tail wags. Although Cody can seem like a handful at times, since we must put groom him, feed him and take him for many walks, he loves to travel in cars so it’s easy to take him with on vacations.

It’s strange sometimes to think of how much a part of the family Cody is, but I suppose it doesn’t matter if we treat him better than some of our friends – after all, he’s our responsibility, and he repays us with joy and love that’s hard to get anywhere else.
