You know he's a good boy because he comes running when you say, "who's a good boy?"

What a great feeling to have a pet dog. You know you have someone waiting for you when you get home, someone to greet you at the door with paws in the air and tail wagging. There's a sense of responsibility when you have a dog, you feel like you have a purpose, something to get you through the day, and someone you help as well. Caring for a dog isn't just rewarding for you, it's also rewarding for the pup. He depends on you, and even if that can be an inconvenience sometimes, it creates purpose.

It's not always easy, but it means you have a best friend to walk with you through life. Taking trips together, hiking, or just taking them along with you when you go out to see friends. That's the benefit of having a dog versus a cat – you can take them wherever you go! Cats are home bound, they're not easy to transport. With dogs, you really can just bring them along with you. So enjoy these wonderful dog memes.

Dogs love wagging their tails. It's sort of their love language to express themselves by shaking their little rumps. They are some of the most loving creatures and animals that exist, and we're so lucky to have them. I haven't had too much experience with dogs. When I was a small child, around 7 years old, my parents took in my grandma's poodle, named Scarlet. I just remember that she was tiny and cute. Then as I got older and I was dating a guy in my mid 20s, he had a golden retriever. We were practically living together so his dog was sort of like my dog.
