What Dogs Do For Us

.Catch Frisbees.

Keep a lonely night from being truly lonely. Keep our homes safe.

Get us outside on beautiful fall days. Listen to our singing.

Treat us like celebrities when we come home.

Warm up our beds on cold nights. Star in our home videos.

Make our hearts more vigorous. Take us outdoors on snowy winter days.

Alert us to the arrival of the mail. Help us to live longer.

Make us smile. Agree with everything we say.

Warm our knees with their chins. Provide us use for old tennis balls.

Signal when a thunderstorm is coming. Pull sleds.

Help lower our blood pressure. Test how fast we can run.

Keep the squirrels from overtaking our yards.

Teach us the meaning of unconditional love. Take us out on rainy days.

Teach our children about responsibility.
