Hi Steemians!
Today I am writing about dog loyalty. Some people would say dogs are loyal just because they depend on us for food and shelter, so they have to be nice to us. But when you see how dogs react when their humans and canine friends come back after they've been gone for a long time or when they don't come back at all, you know it's about more than food. Dogs want to love and to be loved, which I think is what all of us want. These are facts that all dog lovers must keep in mind. These life lessons are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, but when you remember that you are your dog's whole world, these truths are unforgettable.

A dog's life is very short when compare to a human's lifespan. While humans can live for more than a 100 years, dogs may only live for 10-20 years. Make the time count.

Dogs can act aggressively out of fear. Early socialization with people and other animals is the key to building confidence, trust and love.

Children who grow up with dogs are not only healthier but they are also more well-adjusted humans beings. Studies have shown that kids who live with dogs have stronger immune systems, fewer allergies. Also kids raised with dogs are more caring, happy, responsible and intelligent. And dogs love their little humans just as they love their big humans.

Dogs kisses may also improve your health! A new study aims to show that microbes exchanged between dogs and people may have a positive probiotic effect on the human body that affects our overall health.

Dogs love to have jobs. Keeping your dogs active and fit will not only maintain their physical health, it will keep them mentally happy too. "A tired dog is a happy dog".

Dogs just want to be make their humans happy. Teaching dogs new tricks, challenges and behaviors strengthens the bond with your dog, in s similar way that babies do with their parents and naturally want to please them.

Dogs reduce stress. The emotional bond owners feel towards their pets reduces their reaction to stress and lowers their heart rate.

Dogs look to their humans for help. Dogs derive comfort, security and motivation from their humans.

Dogs appreciate everything you do for them. No gesture is too small or too short, dogs are just happy to be loved and care for every minute you spend with them just makes them love you more.

Dogs are sensitive to the environment. They cannot be left outside when is too hot or too cold. Similarly, leaving dogs in vehicles during the Summer heat could kill them.

Dogs need to be regularly groomed and cared for to keep them healthy and happy. Their toenails need to be trimmed, their coat needs to be kept clean and brushed. Also they need their teeth brushed to avoid cavities and disease.

Dogs naturally want to comfort people who are upset. Dogs respond to humans tears and will naturally reassure a distressed person.

Dogs cannot be left alone for long periods of time. These are social animals and need people or other animals around them in order to not get lonely, suffer separation anxiety or act out bad behavior. Dogs need to spent time interacting with their humans every single day.

Dogs don't understand speeches. Dogs respond to key words, vocal tones and body language.

Dos love food, but food is not love. The food you give your dog will affect their overall health. Many human foods are toxic for dogs and could result in death if they it them.

Dogs thrive on encouragement. Positive reinforcement has been shown to have far better results than harsh training methods.

Dogs are very expressive. Dogs may not be able to speak our language, but they can tell us a lot, if we just pay attention.

Dogs may display sudden changes in behavior due to illness. If your dogs is sudden acting aggressively, or not want to walk or eat, it could mean they are sick or injured. Dogs don't complain like humans, but a v]change in their behavior or routine could indicate there is something wrong.

Old dogs deserve just as much love and attention as puppies. Everyone loves puppies, but senior dogs have many years loving and being loyal to their humans.

Dogs always refuse to leave their human's side. There are countless reports of loyal dogs who stayed beside their humans when they were sick, injured and even deceased.
