Are dogs man's bestfriend?

Are dogs really man’s best friend?

Well I think so, I believe that a dog is a man’s best friend all it takes is care, respect and love for your companion.

Being respectful means giving them full privacy when they need it, it also means not to disturb them while their busy eating or digging etc, but being respectful just means being mindful and trying to give you companion time to himself and taking care of him when he most needs it. Being respectful isn’t the only thing you need to be, you also need to be caring for them.

Being caring for you dog is a good thing because that means they will care for you and protect you many dogs have been put in the news for rescuing children and saving people’s lives from trouble, if dogs are trained correctly then you actually can be best friend with a dog and when you treat them correctly the bond between you and your companion will be incredibly strong and your dog will fight for you protect you and care for you as if you were their soulmate. Dogs are definitely man’s best friend because some dogs are emotional therapy dogs that have helped hundreds of children who are going through mentally unstable situation, their are also dogs that help in the fire brigade or police department and they help in fires and rescue people from burning houses as well as stop criminals from committing robberies and etc.

Many people believe that dogs are humans to I agree with that statement because even though they don’t have the appearance of a human they still have the personality as humans, they have emotions and they feel pain they control the way their emotions are and they have ways of communicating with humans.

In the end I believe that dogs are man’s best friend.
