7 Reasons Why Dogs Are Better Than People

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Mass Amherst chapter.

1. Dogs are always happy to see you.

It doesn’t matter what kind of a day they’re having. Their day is better because they’re sharing it with you. 

2. They wear their heart on their… tail? 

There is no hiding how a dog is feeling. Whether their ears are back or their tail is wagging, you always know how they’re doing. 

3. They don’t care if you can’t cook.

In the food department, dogs aren’t hard to please. If you made it, they’ll eat it. 

4. Your secrets are safe with them. 

You’d think it would be hard being best buds with someone who can’t talk. But dogs are great listeners and confidants. 

5. Dogs forgive easily.

Whether they’ve torn apart the trash or eaten holes in the rug, you’re bound to lose your cool every once in a while. But when you’ve let off some steam and you call for them, they come running back to you every time. 

6. You don’t have to impress them.

They don’t care if you’re wearing sweatpants, because you’re still you. 

7. They are fiercely loyal. 

These compassionate canines aren’t just friends; they’re life-long protectors.
