There's nothing as grateful as a rescue dog

1. Who else would reward you simply for coming home?

2. Someone else to blame your "gas problem" on

3. Will never contradict you in an argument

4. Will love you no matter how bad your hair looks

5. Doesn't care if your socks match!

6. Will make you laugh even when you're mad

7. Will forgive anything - even a vet visit

8. Likes you better than your in-laws

9. Is affectionate even in public

10. Guaranteed adoration 24/7

11. A dog is never "too busy" for you.

12. Will not demand college tuition

13. Convenient excuse to leave "events" early - "Sorry, gotta go feed the dog/walk the dog" - and will never tell on you if you just go home and collapse on the couch instead.

14. Looks cute even when sulking

15. Will never tell your juciest secrets
