Best Friends Forever
From the tiny Chihuahuas to the mighty Great Danes, dogs are the most loyal pets known to mankind. Dogs, even though known as a man’s best friends, share a special bond with women too. So what is it that makes dog a woman’s best friend?
Every woman after a long tiring day needs a pal who is not only a good listener, but also someone who can cheer her up or comfort her. Dogs have the ability to interpret their owner’s emotions correctly and their only wish is to see their master happy.
Sarah, an 18-year-old dog owner said, “I don’t know how to explain the bond I share with Lylah. All I can say is that she is more than just a pet. It is next to impossible to imagine life without her. She is practically a part of my family.”
Apart from being an understanding friend, dogs love to be pampered. This love for attention and glamour makes them a perfect pet for women.
Most dogs enjoy long baths and someone brushing their sleek coat till it shines. They love it as much as women do. A few simple accessories, a bow, clips, glasses, or even a funky ribbon can help transform your dog into a superstar.
Along with glam and fashion, dogs also love long walks and exercises. They prove to be good work out partners. Pregnant women, in particular, find that their dogs help them get their daily exercise by walking with them in the parks.
Evidently, dogs and women can be the best of mates. A book entitled “Dogs and the women who love them” written by Allen and Linda Anderson, tells us that how women and dogs who have to gone through similar experiences find solace in each other.
Debrah R. Schnackenberg, (Vice President of Emergency Services at American Humane Association) said:
These stories come from a diverse range of women about a diverse range of dogs and experiences, yet they share one common, uplifting theme: how women and dogs inspire and fulfill each other through love, dedication and companionship. The Andersons excel at celebrating that special bond.
