Having a dog has only advantages. No disadvantages ...
Who wouldn't have any desire to awaken to a shaggy smaller guy shooting about the house with the tail swaying in fervor? Assuming you don't have a shaggy companion making you insane yet, here are a few valid justifications why you should claim a canine.

MY LIL CANINE HERO
Home, What is it? Whether considering it to be someone you know or love, A place, or Yourself. Well, many have their own opinions of the word home. My Home was mostly my Dog Kiara yet she still is as well as my family. My dog is the most loving and kind yet smart and super friendly Chihuahua mix ever. But this is not what I'm here to talk about mainly. Now you see I am here to share a very true memory I went through with her. I had shortened the story but everything here is very real. Like some would say dogs are a man's best friend and I just can't say it any better myself. Anyway, this is a true story that I have kept in for so long only my mom and a few others know but it's time to share my story with the world so it's okay now it's in the past and I am okay to tell it now too because its a story of how I was rescued by my dog, Kiara. My name is Jewel by the way and FYI to this day in my 20's I still am appreciative of my little strong warrior.

Becky
My sister called the new dog Rebecca and insisted we all do so as well. It was a stupid name for this ball of fluff that was a part border collie and part ?? We compromised and gave her the name Becky. It turned out that the other part was Doberman and it seemed that she got the best of both breeds rather than the worst. Becky was our faithful companion until the age of 16 when her old body could cope no more.

Taking Care of a Puppy Taught Me How to Take Care of Myself
The world’s pandemic puppies are going to start turning 2 years old soon. Of course, not everyone who adopted a dog in early-mid 2020 got a puppy. I certainly did though. A sweet little mutt with the bulging wet eyes and curly tail of a pug and the expressive ears and long snout of a rat terrier.

Dog Day Morning
It was a very cold January morning; one of those arctic daybreaks that one often encounters in wintry Montreal. Deciding to remain in bed at least until eight, I almost imperceptibly heard the sound of a scratch on the door. When I opened it, I found a cute cocker spaniel about to freeze to death. I let it in and thought that I heard it thank me. I brought it some warm milk and could have sworn that I heard it thank me again. I was getting ready to leave for work when I heard it wishing me a good day. I looked at the dog, it looked at me, opened its mouth and said: “Yes, you heard me! I spoke to you!” I was stunned. “I hope that you feel fine. You look quite pale. Although I am a dog, I do speak, English and French.” I regained my speech, and with extreme disbelief told it — there was no one else to speak to — that I knew that it was a prank. “My names are Honesty, Good Dog, Bad Dog, Sit, Roll Over, Jump, Fetch, Come Here, and Get Out,” it replied. Still doubtful, I mumbled my name. “I like your name,” uttered the dog and wiggled its tail. “Thanks!” I muttered. “What name do you prefer?” I added. “Yes,” said the dog. “Yes?” I asked. “Yes,” Yes replied. I smiled and was going to feed Yes, but she asked for a rain check. I sat beside her with a large coffee, feeling silly for a short while.

A Day on the Water
Doc Bell said it was time, but Reb's eyes spoke to me as well. "Not yet," they said. I bent to help him to his feet. I shrugged at the Doc, as though to say, "We'll be back." It was one of those times when it is easy to trust your instinct, but difficult to trust your voice.

Golden Girls Meant To Be
I love hearing stories of how owners met their pet for the first time and how they became part of the family because no matter how wild circumstances may be, it always comes down to a matter of fate. That’s how I would describe it when I got my golden girl Meera.

You Were a God Once
I was seven years old when we first got Fern. I was told the breeder was a friend of a friend of the family's, or something like that. We were visiting his house one day when he offered to give us a tour of the dog kennel, and that's when my mom saw her. I know it would be magical to say that I was the first to see her, that I picked her out from the crowd, but I was seven years old. I would have taken all of the dogs if I could've.
