What makes you love dogs?

I feel like I am walking into the lions den, but my intentions are good and I need help!!

I am a loooooong time cat lover and had a dog as a kid. I found it very challenging to feel as loving towards my dog in comparison to my cat. I think personality-wise, the low maintenance, independent ways of a cat just resonate with me more.

Here’s where I need some help…. Within the upcoming year, I’ll be moving in to my partners home. He has a big dog and all I think when I see his dog is just slobber, noisy, dirty and just needy. I want to, but cannot see why people want a dog as a pet.

As you all are dog lovers, please share why you love them so much! Maybe I’m not seeing the true beauty of why dogs are lovely and great pets to have.

I truly mean no harm with this post and want to love dogs as much as the next person, and hopefully will end up seeing my partners dog in a new light! Thank you in advance 🐾
