The Saturday Seven: Reasons Why Dogs Make Life Better
#1 Dogs Create a sense of family. Dogs help foster a sense of love, closeness and well-being for the entire family. In fact, children who grow up with a dog at home often have greater self-confidence and self-esteem.
#4 Dogs help Reduce Stress. Having a dog as a companion can help you deal with stress and relax more easily. It's a medical fact!
#5 Dogs can help us Lose Weight. Studies show that people who walk with their dog loose more weight than people who walk alone or even with another person. Powerful, huh?
Bonus entry. Some dogs can detect cancer in people and can also detect when a person with frequent seizures is about to have one.

I love dogs....mine died last December, she had a good life...12 years...now I just do cats....
Awesome list and I completely agree. I grew up with a dog and when it was his time to go, he was mourned as a part of our family. I still miss him today almost 20 yrs later. I love my cat and can't imagine my life without her.
My Pomeranian Pompom asked me to tell you that he is very appreciative you understand his brotherhood so well! :oD
Is that you splayed out in pic #6 with the cute pooches?
HOT DAMN! U SEXY!
my new dog keeps me up with his barking. he sooo needy.
still, he enriches my life and the cats like him.
Rick,
Thank you for your wonderful post about dogs!!! Ohmigoodness, they are nothing but angels in fur. I love your photos, too. Dogs are such an incredible blessing. My Loverboy, a boston terrier-bulldog-pug mix - is a local celebrity here in Minneapolis, I'm shy but he's loving and outgoing so I've gotten to know all kinds of people. I feel so beyond blessed to have him.
