8 Reasons you really need a dog, not a man

1. Dogs always want snuggles

Your dog isn’t going to tell you that it’s too busy to snuggle or that it needs to go to work or that it just plain out doesn’t want to snuggle, but your boyfriend will.

2. Dogs are always excited to see you

If you yell at your dog, leave for 10 minutes, and come back into the house I guarantee your dog will be excited to see you. You’ll be greeted with tail wags and kisses. If you and your boyfriend have an argument, he won't forgive you nearly as quick or as easily.

3. Dogs love when you talk to them

Any time I get home from work or running errands I usually tell my dogs how much I missed them and ask them how their day was. The entire time they just stare at me with a wagging tails. Boys don't even listen half the time when you speak to them, let alone get excited about it.

4. Dogs enjoy long walks and exploring outdoors

It's no secret that dogs love long walks. Any dog will be happy to walk by your side almost anywhere and in almost any type of weather.

5. Dogs want to give and receive love

Dogs love to give kisses and jump all over you, even if you just got home from working out and you're sweaty. Boys are not as affectionate or loving.

6. Dogs are not picky about what they eat

My dogs will eat anything and everything, sometimes to a fault. You'll never pick up a treat at the store and get home only to find out they don't enjoy the taste of it. Boys, however, can be very picky eaters. Sometimes you'll spend an hour making a meal from scratch, but they won't eat it because of one ingredient.

7. Dogs are apologetic when they do something wrong

If my dogs chew up something or do anything that they are not supposed to, they are visibly sorry once I yell at them. Their eyes instantly widen and their ears go back. Boys usually have a hard time admitting they have done anything wrong, even when it is obvious they have. Surely, you will never get an apologetic look from one.

8. A dog can always cheer you up

No matter how bad your day was or how stressful work is, when your dog starts acting silly, you cannot help but smile. Your heart will always feel full whenever your pup is around. Your dogs number on priority will always be you, their human. Boys have a lot more than just you in their life, which means you will not always be their number one.
