Five Reasons to Be Grateful for Dogs
Dogs provide us with much love, support, and good times. Our four-legged friends can understand us vastly, and it shows! We created a list of five reasons why we are grateful for our four-legged friends. Check it out below, and let us know what you think!
- Dogs help us during tough times. Dogs can be a light during some of our darkest times. They are there for us when we are experiencing sadness, struggling with health conditions, or going through emotional shifts in life.
- Dogs love to make us laugh. You know what they say…laughter is the best medicine! Dogs have a way of making us laugh because of their unique personalities and silly behaviors.
- Dogs always show us unconditional love. The love of a dog is out of this world! Dogs do not care about material things like cars, money, or clothes. They will always love you no matter what.
- Dogs provide us with stress relief. Did you know that dogs release a “feel good” chemical in your brain called oxytocin? This chemical fights off stress and makes you feel good.
- Dogs give us an extra push of motivation. What inspires you to get out of bed in the morning? You know your dog needs to be walked and fed, which motivates you to start your day.
There are many reasons why we can be grateful for dogs. It was so challenging to narrow it down to just five reasons! It doesn’t have to be Thanksgiving to show gratitude to your four-legged friend. There are 525,600 minutes in a year. Show your appreciation for as many minutes as possible!
