Some people on the internet like to say, “we don’t deserve dogs,” and we completely agree.
Dogs were domesticated over thousands of years to be companions and helpers for humans. Sometimes, that companionship amounts to just cuddling on the couch while watching television, but other times these animals are given important jobs that can mean the difference between life or death. No matter what the job, these canines work hard every day, and all they ask in return is food, love, and affection. That’s a pretty good deal… if you ask us!
