PETS: 9 science-backed reasons to own a dog
I have always had animals growing up, from the normal; dogs, cats, birds, rats, mice, to the odd pet; A squirrel named Katy who technically wasn't our pet but she would come when you called her outside and would hand feed nuts and veggies from us. We also had a Mexican red knee tarantula named Jolinda who came from a movie set. She was cool for sure.
Currently we have a 5-year-old pit mix who is the best dog ever. She is sweet and loving and inspired me to make this post. Here she is if you haven't followed my blogs before. Don't you just love that doll face?
So, I wanted to post an article I read and found to be true. These are the reasons to own a dog according to Business Insider

Depending on the breed, they could guard and protect people or livestock.
I actually feel like she would be a great ranch dog! She is very smart and loyal. We take her out to the desert for camping (we are in Cali) and she does well outdoors. :)

my love for dogs transcends to dogecoin :).
Hope all is well with you and your family. Nice to see someone from L.A on here.

Beautiful dog! And the tried and true # 10.) Dogs are truly man's best friend!
Agreed! I love animals of all kinds, but we definitely have a special bond with this one :)
Therein lies the magical bond that is so common between specific dogs and their individual owners... They become just like a special member of the family! :-)
