Tyou only need the last reason, the others are just a bonus.

Don't forget food tester and dishwasher.

They can make a fair pillow on occasion too.

Great for conversation when you don't feel like talking.

why i have a dog:
costs a lot
likes the mrs
cheaper than kids
apart from that "mouse" is useless.
still wont get rid of her though, but hell i miss my last dog

i should point out why i sometimes like "mouse" . being a border collie x she is intelligent and exploits the fact
so wife take her to dog school, she learns sit, stay, down etc.
i taught her on the word "centrefold" to lay on her back with all four legs spread. and now if she wants a treat biscuit she just does it.
end of the day i kinda like her, smallest dog i have ever owned, first female i ever owned.
its an experience to be sure

I own a dog because life is just somehow poorer without one.

Own 2 then you have 2 friends. Dogs are a synonym*for companionship and mental health experts.

Someone sent me this, Sums it up pretty well....................at least for me.

JUST A DOG
From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog,”
or “that’s a lot of money for just a dog.”
They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent,
or the costs involved for “just a dog.”
Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog.”
Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog,”
but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by
“just a dog,” and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch
of “just a dog” gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it’s “just a dog,” then you probably understand
phrases like “just a friend,” “just a sunrise,” or “just a promise.”
“Just a dog” brings into my life the very essence of friendship,
trust, and pure unbridled joy.
“Just a dog” brings out the compassion and patience
that make me a better person.
Because of “just a dog” I will rise early, take long walks and look
longingly to the future.
So for me and folks like me, it’s not “just a dog”
but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future,
the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
“Just a dog” brings out what’s good in me and diverts my thoughts
away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that its’ not “just a dog”
but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being
“just a man” or “just a woman.”
So the next time you hear the phrase “just a dog,”
just smile, because they “just don’t understand.”

Also foot warmer and general furry hot water bottle in winter.

The most excellent hunting companion....

Something to blame the farts on

And cool to see how they can get so excited about the simplest things in life

dogs are better than girlfriends. lock them both in a car boot for 10 minutes and see which one is happy to see you when the lid opens.

Couldn't imagine life without a dog. Constant companion in everything we do. Comes hunting and will find deer and do good cadaver work. Comes on the farm and helps with little bits and bobs and is as good as an extra set of hands. Sucks up crumbs from the kitchen floor. Sleeps outside the bedroom door and tells us if anyone is around. Good for a chat, best listeners in the world.
