There are plenty of down sides to having a dog - the early morning pleas to go outside, the unique smell of 'wet dog,' and of course the yard clean up!
But the pros far out weigh the cons! How much is a couch companion worth? Can you put a price tag on a loyal friend who is always ready for a game of fetch or a long walk in the woods? Of all the creatures on this earth, I find our canine companions to be some of the most empathetic and compassionate.
I know, I know 'he's just a dog.' But he's our dog, and what a dog he is!
