Benefits of Having a Dog

Dogs are the best because, unlike people (and most cats), they love you unconditionally. Dogs are willing to put aside their differences and live in peace, even with their natural-born enemies. Owning a dog can help kids learn about responsibility and empathy.


  • Dogs Just Wanna Have Fun
Dogs absolutely love to play, and it's often interactive play that they want--especially with you. You can play fetch with a ball or a disc. You can enjoy an exciting game of tug-of-war.
You can play chase in the yard. If your dog gets along well with other dogs, you can even set up a doggie "playdate" with another pup. Just make sure both dogs are healthy and will get along.
  • Training Dogs is Easier
Dogs actually enjoy training. It seems to give them a sense of purpose. It's a job, and most dogs love to work. Plus, many dogs are highly motivated by food and attention. They'll gladly sit, stay, shake, lie down, and roll over in exchange for a delicious reward.
Dogs seem to display a sense of pride when they've done a good job. In fact, dogs sometimes misbehave when they're bored. They need more exercise and mental stimulation. Training helps provide the latter.
  • Dogs Can Protect You
Dogs can sense our fear and they'll respond if they think we feel threatened. A large dog with a loud bark may seem like the better watchdog, but small dogs are sometimes even more alert when it comes to detecting outside noises.
The little ones may not be able to physically fight off intruders, but they'll certainly alert you about the danger.
