If you do you are benefiting tenfold! The positive health factors are numerous for dog owners, so many that they far outreach the expense, responsibility and commitment needed to care for these beautiful furry animals. But then if you are a dog owner you know all this! How can one resist the cuteness they exude, the loving eyes, the cuddles they give and the joy they bring.
His nose is short and scrubby;
His ears hang rather low;
And he always brings the stick back,
No matter how far you throw.
(Marchette Chute)
Improved blood pressure, cholesterol levels, lower stress levels, are some of the health benefits dog owners reap with their loving furry animals. One can never underestimate what a dog gives back to their owners. They are worth their weight in gold with the love that pours out of them. The love exudes from their eyes and no words are needed, an owner just knows what his/her little dog is saying.
Like I knew my bulldog was telling me how much she loved me whenever she placed her chin on my lap. She had such loving eyes. This is a photo I have shared before in a post but now she has moved into doggie heaven I don't have up new ones to share.
Without knowing dogs look after owners protecting them and providing when they emotional support. They automatically give what is needed.
So yes, they are worth the time, effort and costs it takes to be a dog owner. And they do need to be cared for; there are veterinary bills, vaccinations, food, shampoo bills.
He gets roused on often
for things he shouldn't do,
Like lying-on-beds, and barking,
And eating up shoes when they're new.

And not to forget the dogs dragging the owners outside for adventure and action like my daughter's Border Collie does. He is my dog fix for the moment as I live a life without a dog after three dogs and 35 years.


Expect to feel healthy and well when you have a dog in the home. Yes so many great reasons to have a dog, companion, playmate, friend, the dogs don't care, they just know they are loved.
He sits and begs; he gives a paw;
He is, as you can see,
The finest dog you ever saw,
And he belongs to me.
He follow me everywhere I go
And even when I swim.
I laugh because he thinks, you know,
that I belong to him.
(Arthur Guiterman)
Not everyone is a doggie person and that is perfectly fine. Maybe a cat or fish in a bowl or not is their preference instead. Everyone is different and that is what makes the world go round.
Cheers and Blessings
