Dogs are truly man’s best friend. And I can easily see why. Dogs are some of the most loyal, faithful, and trustworthy creatures out there. Just a nuzzle to your hand, or them sitting at your feet can brighten your day.

They can even help you get through the trials of life. Partner left you? Get a dog. Can’t decide if you want kids or not? Get a puppy. Had a long day at work? Cuddle up with Patches and let him take your cares away.

The type of dog that you get is up to you. Smaller dogs are popular now, because they make little mess and are portable. Bigger dogs are a little more active, and are better for hugs. I happen to love my Jack Russell Terrier. He’s not too big, not too small, and a bundle of energy. I couldn’t ask for a better friend.

What about you? What’s your favorite breed of dog?
