5 Reasons Dogs
​are Better than Boyfriends

By Noa Dar
As February rolls around and stores are getting filled with chocolate hearts and teddy bears for Valentine’s Day, I can’t help but think that we’re celebrating the wrong holiday here, people!

February 20th is National Love Your Pet Day and I think we can all agree that this holiday needs some more attention.

I get it! It’s cuffing season and everyone wants to show off their partners. But let’s be real, wouldn’t you rather see pictures of my pooch than sappy couples?

Don’t get me wrong, boyfriends are great! But a dogs love is unconditional and that’s something we really need to celebrate.

Here are 5 reasons why a dog
​is better than a boyfriend:

1. Dogs help to clean up ​
Dropped something? No worries! Your dog has your back by licking excess food off the floor. Would a boyfriend ever do that? I think not. ​

2. ​Dogs never complain
My dog and I are always on the same page. He’s down to cuddle and watch chick flicks with me, or go out on a hike and work up a sweat. Boyfriends, on the other hand? They take a bit more convincing than that.  ​

3. You never have to worry about impressing your friends and family
With boyfriends, there’s always the pressure of making a good first impression. With dogs, they’ll love and be loved no matter what. 

​4. Dogs are always going to give
​and take your attention
Dogs love to listen to all your crazy stories with perky ears. Granted, they can’t talk back, but they’re always there to give you some much-needed attention and put a smile on your face.

5. Dogs never leave the toilet seat up
Enough said!
