Why should I own a dog?

"Why should I own a dog" well who can number the times a life has been saved by some trusty four footed friend. The reasons for owning a dog are as vast as the universe. Enough can never be said concerning the curative powers of love and where better to find unconditional love than with your very own dog. They share our lives and loves, they protect our lives and those of our loved ones, they give until it hurts and why? Because it is their inborn nature. I thank God that he had the wisdom to create dogs.

If you are lonely or sad you should consider getting a dog. If you need something to put the spark back into your life or that bounce back into your step, a dog might be just what you need. I cannot possibly list all of the benefits of buying and owning a dog but you must understand that as with all good things there are also costs and risks. Dogs have their own special needs and if you aren't able or willing to provide these then maybe it is best for you to enjoy the wonders of dogs from a distance. There is nothing worse than buying a dog and becoming attached only to find that it is not working and having to look for another home for your pet. The emotion and physiological burden can make the whole experience most unwelcome.

But as long as you are willing to make some sacrifices in order to enjoy the wonderful rewards then I definitely recommend owning a dog.
