#1. Dogs feel guilty when they’ve done something wrong.

You don’t have to put up with denial and empty apologies.

#2. The later you get home, the more excited they will be to see you.

You’ll never hear any nagging like: “you said 10 mins!”

#3. And they will always be happy to see you.

ALWAYS.

#4. They won’t complain about your cooking.

“Bacon and peanut butter again?! Yes!”

#5. If you don’t like your dog’s hair, you’re allowed to do something about it.

Total. Control.

#6. They won’t care if you put on a few pounds.

Because they love food just as much as you do.

#7. You will always have someone to cuddle with.

Mmmm, cuddles. Lots and lots of cuddles.

#8. If they stray, they will always find their way back.

Guaranteed.

#9. You can train a dog.

There are no obedience classes for boyfriends, remember that.

#10. Getting your dog fixed is socially acceptable and responsible.

Um… Okay, maybe not this one. Too far?

#11. You won’t have to worry about a big fight or a break-up if your dog has other bitches.

“Oh, uh, this isn’t what it looks like.”

#12. In most cases the closest your dog will ever come to cheating on you is when they’re humping your belongings.

Don’t worry, it’s nothing personal.

#13. They won’t get mad when you bother them.

They love you that much.

#14. You can dress them up however you want.

They’re happy with whatever you choose.

#15. When they snore, it’s cute.

And you won’t lose any sleep.

#16. You can name them, and call them whatever you want.

“Wait, I thought she named me Rocco. Who the heck is Bae? Am I Bae?”

#17. You can have two dogs, and no one will judge you for it.

Or any number of dogs for that matter.

#18. You can even share a dog, and still, no one will judge you.

Dogs have more than enough love to go around.

#19. You won’t have to worry about your friends not liking your dog…

Who doesn’t like dogs? And why would you have friends who don’t like dogs?

#20. … Or your dog not liking your friends.

“Look at my tail!! Look at how much I love your friends!”

#21. They’ll watch whatever movie you want to watch.

Not like they have much of a choice. “For the love of bacon, not this Lion King nonsense again.”

#22. They won’t mind your taste in music.

And dogs won’t judge you for your growing love of Taylor Swift.

#23. The only sh*t you have to deal with is the literal kind.

Hey, at least it’s predictable.

#24. Dogs won’t wake up one day and realize they don’t love you anymore.

Hold back those tears.

#25. Because they always will, no matter what.

HOLD. BACK. THOSE. TEARS.

#26. Dogs are no stranger to unconditional love.

Sigh. What more could you ask for?

#27. Come on, seriously. Look at that face.

How could anyone not prefer this over a boyfriend?

This face would never break your heart.

 Neither would these two.

Or this cutie down here.

Dogs > boyfriends. Case closed.
