15 Reasons Why America Loves Dogs So Much
Why do we love dogs so much? Is it the stories of their heroic tales? Is it the adorable puppy faces? Their incredible loyalty? I suspect we dog lovers all have some personal, and very touching reasons why a dog occupies our hearts and homes.
I personally can't get enough of their expressions, and behavior. Sometimes I feel like Dr. Jane Goodall with the way I observe my dog, and the joy I get from it. Hours and hours of notes and photos have been taken of Cleo.
Below are some of the reasons that came to me that seemed like they could apply to all dogs, not just mine. Like people, I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule but I bet you've experienced some of what I'm talking about. Take a look at these and let me know what you think..
