As a person who has had many dogs in my life time I must say that dogs in my opinion make the ideal pet. Aside from their relatively short life span. Dogs truly enhance your quality of life and can and do create wonderful memories. Not unlike one of the family. These events inhibit all facets of our every day lives. Such as just coming home and experiencing the sheer joy your best friend exuberates when you walk through the door after a long hard day at work. No matter what is going on around you or what your mood is your buddy is always happy to see you. It is probably the closest thing to unconditional love that a lot of people will ever experience.

Cats are good pets also and will contribute memories in there own ways. However, most cats that I personally have ever had contact with just do not display the type of affection that a dog does. Actually you couldn't even compare the two. Cats do display all types of behavior just like dogs but, dogs are much more personable. For instance, when was the last time you heard of anyone with any amount of time training a cat to sit, roll over, fetch a stick or play dead for that matter, except on some crazy talent show. Have you ever taken your cat out for a jog? I doubt it. Has Whiskers ever alerted you to the presence of some shady character snooping around the house, unlikely. It has been scientifically proven that people that have dogs in their families live longer, happier lives. That alone says it all.

There are countless activities that you and your best buddy can do together. Here are just a few special trips to take with good old Fido. Go to the beach. Most dogs love to go for a swim. Teach Fido to catch a Frisbee. This is always a fun time. Go camping or hiking. Your dog will love to go camping or on a hike with you. Just think if God forbid something happened and you were to heaven forbid get lost or break a leg. Fido could actually save your life. There have been thousand of stories of dogs saving their owners lives in just these very ways. There is actual documented proof of dogs retrieving help when their owner has been hurt on become unconscious. Also when people have become lost their dogs have led them to safety. Sounds a little silly but, you never know. Dogs are able to alert you to many dangers in and out of your household. Such as the presence of a stranger or prowler, a fire or even just a squirrel running across you back lawn. Let's see Whiskers do that!

Dogs have the ability to sense when you're
