Friends With Benefits: Dogs

You know talking about friends with benefits we usually start thinking about real friends with benefits, like the movie, but in my point of view real friends with benefits are our dogs. Dogs are the irreplaceable members of our livings. Sometimes we doubt that owning a dog will be worth it or not but when we finally own a dog, we don’t want them to leave us anymore. We start loving them more than our real children. We always want to stay near them, play with them and do everything with them.

If you see anyone who has the dog he will tell you, from the second he rings the bell of his home, his dog's wagging tail will always greet him and lick kisses. If you are having a bad day and you’ll return home, see your dog wagging his tail for you, you forget everything about your bad day. They provide you that happy distraction from the way you are feeling. You get the genuine thankfulness just for coming home. They give you the pure joy and love.

Dogs lead you to a healthier lifestyle

Dogs force you to get out of your bed every single day. They wait for you to wake up, but when you don’t wake up, they started to stretch your blankets and whatever you are wearing. Whenever your dog wakes you up you always feel the positive energy around you and have a better outlook for the whole day. They make you run with them either you like it or not. Also, the cuddling and lick kisses you get from your dogs will always makes your day happier. Dogs also help you to suffer from anxiety attacks and panic attacks by giving you the therapy called Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT).

According to a Swedish study published in the prestigious Journal, Nature, canine (puppy) ownership reduces the chances of cardiovascular risk in their owners by providing social support and motivation for physical activity. Also, according to the earlier study by the American Heart Association in 2013 suggests that dogs relieve social isolation and depression, both linked to increasing heart diseases and early death.

Dogs don’t let you feel alone

When we go out with our dog, our dog interacts with other dogs; it also allows us to interact with other dog owners. This is the best way to get out of social isolation and loneliness, by this, we feel more connected to the world. In the fast-paced life, when you feel like coming home for someone who is waiting for you, it makes you feel very happy, that someone is relying on you for their happiness. They help you to fight your bad days and through your tough times.

Always ready to play and makes you play

Dogs make you move; they are always prepared to do something fun and energetic. They love to play in sand and mud. While playing and running, we let our endorphins moving which can help to reduce high blood pressure, cholesterol, stress level and clear your head. Exercising your pet is really important for their health and well-being. Also, dogs have the power of sniffing everything out; they can detect allergies or any other sickness in your body. They have the remarkable ability to detect anything wrong with their owners.

When you have a dog, you never want them to leave you, they became a loving member of your family. With dogs, we live our best lives. Coming home after a long and hectic day, to a wagging tail and lick kisses, is everything that makes your life easier in this busy, robust and competitive lifestyle. Dogs are love.
