My life would not be the same without doggie love. They sure make our life more complete, huh? "Why a dog is better than a man" Dogs don't feel threatened by your intelligence. Dogs are already in touch with their inner puppies. Dogs are very direct about wanting to go out. Dogs think you are a culinary genius. You can house train a dog. Dogs feel guilt when they've done something wrong. Middle-aged dogs don't feel the need to abandon you for a younger owner. Dogs mean it when they kiss you.

I don't really think it's love that our dogs give to us. I think it feels like love, but it's really all of the elements of the pack mentality that we interpret as love. There is closeness and commitment (even if the dogs aren't treated well by their owner), but it's all part of their inherent need to be in a harmonious pack. I think it's important to respect the fact that dogs are dogs. Not lesser creatures in any way, however. But to personify them would be doing them a disservice. Does it really matter, though? I know my dogs enjoy their life with me, and give me all they can. That makes me love them with every bit of my human heart. :) I have to disagree with some of the comments (or at least play a little devil’s advocate).
