George, my pet dog just turned 10 years old this month. I am grateful to have such lovable and loyal pet. Happy birthday and more years to come!

The unrestricted love and companionship of dogs toward their owners have earned them the title “Man’s Best Friend”. Like a best friend, you can count on them every time you are feeling down. Dogs will accept you despite your imperfections and will stay besides you even during your toughest situations. This is because dogs are very companionable animals and they are loyal to their masters. 

Aside from companionship, they are also good workers. They can guard your properties and can be a loyal aid for disable individuals. In addition, dogs have a positive influence on our health. According to studies, dog owners show strong resistance to stress, have lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and have lower risk of heart diseases.
