I don't know about you- BUT- I am OBSESSED with dogs. I love their whole perspective on life. They smile at you and with you. They wag their tail through anything. They never hold any grudges. They never complain. They are happy just to sit next to you when you need them too. They eat anything you give them. My dog always wants to go on a run with me, no excuses. They have hearts of gold and are true loyal friends for life.
