The Joys of Dog Ownership

Dogs are called “man’s best friend” for good reason. Their loyalty and companionship offer their owners benefits that cannot be underestimated. Far from a temporary distraction or pure entertainment, dog ownership is a serious responsibility. Providing a dog with a healthy, active life requires an ongoing commitment of time and effort. The reward of this commitment is a companion who provides friendship, entertainment, and security without asking for anything in return. Owning a dog can even create lifelong friendships between dog owners.
