#7 Children with dogs in their household miss less school.
Yes, it’s true.
#8 Simply put, they are a human’s best friend.
#9 They will go to great lengths–2,800 miles to be exact–to find their humans.
Have you guys heard the story of Bobbie the Wonderdog? Well, he traveled a whopping 2,800 miles to return to his family after accidentally being abandoned across the country.
#10 They make excellent watchdogs.
From puppyhood, dogs innately learn to watch and be aware of anything rotten coming your way.
#11 Dogs help increase social interactions.
Yes, not only do dogs need care and playtime with their humans, but they need time to socialize with other pups too!
#12 But wait, there’s more (for your kids)!
Having dogs has actually been shown to improve a child’s self-esteem, and makes issues that cause stress easier to handle.
