This is Why We Have Dogs

To help us with leftovers:

In case you needed a reminder…

So we can laugh at their little mistakes:

And be cheered up after a rough day:

To keep our yards squirrel-free:

And also to put our tennis balls to good use:

To make sure we always get up on time:

So they can protect us:

…And we can humiliate them:

No really, humiliation is one of the best parts:

But so is lifelong friendship:

And of course, there’s the cuddles:

To remind us we all make mistakes:

And also to alert us to potential dangers:

Because even the smallest of us needs looking after:

And, of course, someone needs to look after them:

I mean let’s face it, some of them are pretty dumb:

But they help us too because smiles are contagious:

Also, they remind us we need to get our exercise:

And that there’s more to life than the Internet:

Also, those bellies aren’t gonna rub themselves:

I mean, we all need someone to spoil:

And someone to come home to everyday:
