Dogs, a man's best friend. Someone has rightly said this. These furry little creatures make our lives a lot easier and happier. I mean, who wouldn't like to wake up to an expectant face and wagging tail? Dogs are so cute. Everybody should own dogs. There is not a single dull moment with them, they will do something idiotic and we will crack up with laughter. If we are fast, we might be able to capture it so that it stays with us forever. Dogs, though they have a shorter life-span, fill our lives with so much love. So, kudos to those who already own a dog and for those who don't, I am pretty sure you will buy one when you read this.
