1. Your dog gives you total commitment and affection.
As humans, we need to love and be loved in ways that are uncomplicated, pure and dependable. Your pet gives you loyalty and unconditional love. He is always loyal, affectionate, and totally committed.


2. Your dog needs no reason to love you.His brain is wired differently from a human's. So he can love you without having to think about it, he simply has no choice.


3. Your dog cares about your inner qualities, not how you look.When someone cares about appearances alone, he sometimes misses the good inside. But because your dog looks at your inner traits, he knows your true person.


4. Your dog's love is unconditional.No matter how bad your day is, your dog will always be there to greet you at the door with a wagging tail.


5. Dogs don't hold grudges like people do.Dogs make the best companions. In a fragmented, detached society, where our extended families have moved away, we often don't know our neighbors, divorce is common, and work has become unstable or unpleasant for many - people find it easier to be with their dogs than with one. Thus, the bond between humans and dogs grows stronger than ever.


6. You can be any way you want and your pet will still love you, no matter what.If only humans could be as accepting of each other and show as much love and concern. Pets get their end of the bargain, too, because we respond by lavishing them with organic treats and high-quality health care.


7. Dogs show they have feelings, too. They have mastered the art of integrating themselves into the social system of humans and thriving there. They show emotion - love, anxiety, curiosity - and make us believe they are capable of the full range of human feelings.


8. Dogs talk to us, without having to speak.They jump for joy when we come home, put their heads on our knees and stare longingly into our eyes. Ah, we think, at last, the love and loyalty we so richly deserve and so rarely receive. Over thousands of years of living with humans, dogs have become our reliable sidekicks with the particularly appealing characteristic of being unable to speak. We are therefore free to fill in the blanks with what we need to hear. (What the dog may really be telling us, most of the time, is, "Feed me.")


9. Dogs know and understand our moods.Humans and dogs have bonded in such a way that dogs have become amazingly skilled at reading our behavior, especially when it comes to food and care. They figure out our moods: what makes us happy, what moves us. When they respond to our moods, we think they're crazy about us. They seem emotionally supportive yet complex, able to understand their owners in a profound though wordless way. Meanwhile, men love dogs because they are perfect pals, happy to go places and do things, but unable to hold or demand conversations.


10. Your dog has a give-and-take relationship with you.
Dogs have figured out how to insinuate themselves into human society in ways that benefit us both. We get affection and attention. They get the same, plus food, shelter and protection. To describe our relationship in this way doesn't trivialise our love, it simply explains it.
