absofreakinglutely. my dogs have saved me many times with their love. have you ever read Jimmy Stewart's (the actor) poem about his dog:
"Beau"
by Jimmy Stewart
He never came to me when I would call
Unless I had a tennis ball,
Or he felt like it,
But mostly he didn't come at all.
When he was young
He never learned to heel
Or sit or stay,
He did things his way.
Discipline was not his bag
But when you were with him things sure didn't drag.
He'd dig up a rosebush just to spite me,
And when I'd grab him, he'd turn and bite me.
He bit lots of folks from day to day,
The delivery boy was his favorite prey.
The gas man wouldn't read our meter,
He said we owned a real man-eater.
He set the house on fire
But the story's long to tell.
Suffice it to say that he survived
And the house survived as well.
On the evening walks, and Gloria took him,
He was always first out the door.
The Old One and I brought up the rear
Because our bones were sore.
He would charge up the street with Mom hanging on,
What a beautiful pair they were!
And if it was still light and the tourists were out,
They created a bit of a stir.
But every once in a while, he would stop in his tracks
And with a frown on his face look around.
It was just to make sure that the Old One was there
And would follow him where he was bound.
We are early-to-bedders at our house--
I guess I'm the first to retire.
And as I'd leave the room he'd look at me
And get up from his place by the fire.
He knew where the tennis balls were upstairs,
And I'd give him one for a while.
He would push it under the bed with his nose
And I'd fish it out with a smile.
And before very long
He'd tire of the ball
And be asleep in his corner
In no time at all.
And there were nights when I'd feel him
Climb upon our bed
And lie between us,
And I'd pat his head.
And there were nights when I'd feel this stare
And I'd wake up and he'd be sitting there
And I reach out my hand and stroke his hair.
And sometimes I'd feel him sigh
and I think I know the reason why.
He would wake up at night
And he would have this fear
Of the dark, of life, of lots of things,
And he'd be glad to have me near.
And now he's dead.
And there are nights when I think I feel him
Climb upon our bed and lie between us,
And I pat his head.
And there are nights when I think
I feel that stare
And I reach out my hand to stroke his hair,
But he's not there.
Oh, how I wish that wasn't so,
I'll always love a dog named Beau.

absolutely. Most supposed human friends will disappear if things are going bad. A dog loves you no matter what is going on and can be a big comfort to you when you are sad, Most huimman friends will stab you in the back at a moment's notice, and a dog is sa friend for life. I have been burned too many times by human "friends".

I would say yes. They dont ever pester you, there loving and friendly towards you. They dont cause you any hassle like friends can, there relatively inexpensive if looked after. There always happy to see you come home. They appreciate all the simple things in life you do for them, walks, treats, cuddles, play time.
Dogs are a man's best friend.

because canines, Canis Familiaris, is a domesticated animal decedent from the wolf. (canis lupus) historic guy and historic wolf by some ability got here mutually and realized to cooperate (not all wolves got here to guy, for this reason why we nevertheless have wolves). those tame wolves grew to develop into more beneficial tame over generations. showing the characteristics of domesticated canines like floppy ears, patchy colored fur, and curly tails. mankind realized to selectively breed for particular characteristics, ultimately giving upward push to all of our different breeds. canines at the prompt are not wild animals. they could cope interior the wild, yet will oftentimes finally end up lifeless. there is not any organic determination in canines, they are an man made animal. we attempt to get canines off the streets because they stay such negative lives of famine and ailment. they could't hunt even as they stay in a city. it really is a piece of writing from nationwide Geographic on domestication with an effective spot on a Russian attempt to re-create the domestication frame of mind of canines utilising Silver Foxes.

Yup. Recent studies have shown that even puppies only a few weeks old respond specifically to human voices. I think it's pretty clear by now that dogs and humans have developed a close working relationship.

I think it depends. Just like human, some are aggressive, some are friendly, some are playful and some are lazy. But I think most of them are best friends to human. When they don't know you, they will bark and show aggressiveness, but when they know you enough, both of you can be the best partner.
