Get awesome, get a dog
Here it is, straight in your face: I’m a dog person and I’d take a dog over a cat any day. Here are a few reasons for this, for all the people who have decided not to curse me and click away to read something else:
1) Dogs are loyal: I realise this reason gets wheeled out each and every time there is a cat/dig dispute, but that’s because it really is a fact. For example, what would the infamous TV show Lassie have been like if the dog had been a cat? I’ll tell you: it wouldn’t have got past the first episode, because the cat would have left the poor man to die in that mine-shaft!
She runs fast, she loves a game of ball and she’s amazingly good at sleeping
2) Dogs will attack someone with force if they enter your home at night: the down-side of that, of course, is the fact that it might just be your girlfriend coming home later…
3) Dogs like affection, and humans like to give them affection. Cats don’t give anything back. You call that tail around your leg affection? Forget about it!
Of all the awesome dogs out there, one, for me, reigns supreme. That dog is the greyhound. Here’s how we came to get one and how she turned out to be thoroughly awesome.
Deborah was the only dog at the dog-home who made eye-contact with us. The other dogs tried, but there was a vulnerability about them which made them hold back. Not so with Deborah. OK, so her name didn’t exactly thrill me – I’d had a bad experience with a Debs at school – but that didn’t matter in this case. I could just sense, in the home, looking at this most awesome fast dog, that here as the bitch for us.
Deborah had been put in the home after she had attacked her owner at home. The attack wasn’t Deborah’s fault, it was all the owner’s. He’d done a serious of loft conversions for people and had always taken Debs with him. The problem was that the man was clumsy, and every so often he would drop his ladder or hammer and freak Deborah out. On this last occasion it hit Deborah’s front-right paw and she gave the man what for. I couldn’t blame her.
Rescuing Debs from the home was the most awesome and best thing I have ever done. She runs fast, she loves a game of ball and she’s amazingly good at sleeping (for up to 14 hours per day).
If those aren’t the traits of an awesome dog then I don’t know what are!
