We don't deserve dogs.

When I had a hysterectomy, I was off work for 6 weeks, in bed for the first 2. My border collie mix, Holly, stayed next to me on the bed the entire time. When I would go into the bathroom, she followed, and stayed close. She never left my side until I returned to work.

Mt dog knows when I'm sad or depressed and he does exactly what I'd want any human to do; give me space and check on me periodically. He lightly pushed the door and looks at me, i say "hey, pup. Thanks for checking on me." and he nods (weird, but appreciated) and goes about his business. If I'm actually crying, he'll come boop my nose with his own nose or lick my face or hand. Sometimes he'll lay next to me, if I tell him "I'm fine" and push him away. His face is rather expressive so I can tell he can see think I'm not fine but he respects that I want to be alone and goes away. And the cycle continues. Such a good boy, though when I'm in a good mood he ignores me and barks loudly when I say he can't run away and live in the woods with the wild animals

Argo, my hooligan corgi is 15 months old and perhaps too young to understand sickness, for he never acts like that when I'm sick. However, he sacrifices his own comfort even during summer and stays covered with a blanket just in order for me to hug him in the morning. Perhaps I'm wrong to judge him as a stubborn bad dog.

Dogs: the better humans.

Today its not the best day...my 13 years old dog have something in his lungs...doctor dont know nothing until next week...erin you are right....im from argentina and in this country dogs are better then people in every way...we dont deserve the love and the loyalty of this animals.

Thank you BP.

All these cute and awesome dogs have cheered up my day! I've got a huge smile on my face and everything!

My dogs know when I’m sick and take up the whole bed trying to as close as possible

Humanity don't deserve dogs. We just don't.

My dogs have always been very close, and if you pick up one then the other has to follow right behind. One evening, just a few months after we first got them, I was carrying Teddy down the stairs with Elli following at my heels, when I lost my footing and fell flat on my bum and started crying. Teddy was sufficiently freaked out and leaped out of my arms, but Elli tentatively climbed into my lap and began licking my tears away (which of course made me cry harder, but from joy). Aside from this incident, however, those selfish little sh*ts have never gone out of their way to comfort or protect me unless they get treats and belly rubs in return. Which, granted, is not a major burden. I still love them to death.

Argggg. My eyes - they won't stop watering my face scrolling through these. Dogs have saved my life three times now. There is nothing more loving or empathetic on this planet than a dog. <3

.......Made me realize how long it's been since I had a doggie hug, Shoot Daughter hug (off and grown) hell male hug :( I need a dog and want a boyfriend LOL

That's it. I'm getting a dog.

Dogs and humans' lives and histories are intertwined like no other animal, I think its the most beautiful thing

When I lived with my parents and was sick in bed, I would hold up my arms and proclaim loudly to my mother "Bring me a cat!" The nearest cat was brought to me and I was cured instantly.
