I think they are very loyal and caring. It has been a stated fact that having a dog increases your life 6-7 years because they fill that empty spot in your heart and they keep you company when you are alone. They are always there for you, too.

They love you no matter what comfort me cuddle ect

A dog is a great pet because it is very social. If you are considering a dog, consider how much exercise you can give the dog and also if you experience any Allergies. If you do not have an active lifestyle I suggest a smaller dog maybe a basset hound or beagle. If you are active maybe a lab or golden retriever. Another good idea is to visit your local shelter because thousands of innocent dogs are being put to sleep a day and need a new owner or they won't be alive tomorrow.

Hope this helps

Dogs have a number of features that people like, probably the most important of which is loyalty. Dogs take a great interest in the people who own them as pets (or, you might prefer to say, the people for whom they are companions) and dogs seem to protect their owners interests to the extent that they are capable of doing so, by driving off an attacker, waking people up if there is a fire in the house, and so forth. There is some question as to the degree to which dogs actually love their humans, or merely are responding to them as being in effect the dominant member of the pack to which the dog belongs, but in either case there is a feeling of loyalty.

Aside from that, dogs are warm and furry, cute, have soulful eyes, and in some ways remind people of their own children. Dogs are beings of lesser capability than their owners are, so their owners take care of them, much as they would their own children. Dogs have a certain mental simplicity; they do not lie, their motives are simple and understandable, and so they are easier to deal with than human beings are. Dogs do not maneuver for status; they accept that humans are in charge. They are relatively intelligent, in comparison to many other animals such as tropical fish, frogs, lizards etc.

They are good friends because although they can't talk they seem to understand everything you say. Also, when petting an animal such as a dog, it relieves much stress. They are great.
