My boyfriend and I got one dog back in May. Then we added another in July. And finally, we adopted a third in November. While there was some hesitation and possessiveness at first, they have all adjusted and get along. They love one another the same way they love us. They will fall asleep head-to-head, or simply lie on the couch together.
Even through the occasional squabble, they return to loving each other. It's just how dogs are wired, with humans and each other. They are loyal through and through. I truly believe this. I have read so many stories about dogs that protect their humans until the end. And even at the end, they refuse to leave their human's side. In addition to their loyalty, they are protective. One time I was at home for the weekend and had my dogs. My dad was trying to be helpful and let the lab mix of the kennel.
However, the dog didn't recognize my dad and immediately jumped on the bed shielding me and barking. I had owned him a few weeks at this point. Not even one month, and already he was protecting me from what he thought was danger. That's pretty amazing. Dogs don't discriminate. I've read stories about dogs who take a liking to the homeless, dogs who know when their owner is using drugs, dogs who are mistreated but continue to love and trust humans. It's almost sad to think about the fact that a dog can be treated badly but will come back for more because he is so eager to please.
Yet at the same time, dogs can save lives through their companionship. When most humans would not strike up a friendship with a homeless man, a dog doesn't care. Like I said in the beginning, dogs just want to love and be loved. It doesn't matter how or from whom, and that's pretty awe-inspiring.
At the end of a hard day, it is a welcome sight to be greeted by our furry friends. Dogs are eager to learn and can be trained so that they can easily stay with us in our human built apartments, homes and dwellings. We can also trust them to be on their most astute behaviour and acting responsibly when other people drop by. If they are well trained, they will not jump, bark, bite or chew.
They will act appropriately around other people and in public. Continue reading your story on the app. Future Students Expand. DVM Program Expand. Apply Expand.

And you might need to keep a distance during phone and Skype calls. A barking dog in the background may be charming at first, and a talking point to establish rapport, but it rapidly becomes tiresome. My elderly tabby developed a habit of "replying" when she heard me on the phone and would come and miaow loudly next to me. Cats and dogs aren't the only home office pets. Charlotte Evans runs Cottontails Baby , an online shop selling classic toys and baby gifts, and Rudolph is the latest of her rabbit office managers.
Not only does Rudolph keep Evans company, he takes a starring role in marketing the business on social media. Unfortunately, our furry home working friends have shorter lives than we do, and the loss of a pet after many years of constant companionship can be a bitter blow to a home worker.
Annette Morris was devastated last year by the unexpected death of her eight-year-old weimaraner, Nibs.
