Dogs Are Man's Best Friends?


There are many reasons to believe that Dogs are Man’s best friends. The countless abilities that dogs have are unbelievable and many people use them for special reasons. Some dogs can herd sheep, while others will sniff out drugs and explosives, and even be a guide to blind people.

In many cases, dogs have saved their owners from certain death. One instance is when Omar Rivera was working at the World Trade Center when the infamous 9/11 happened. He was blind and he had a guide dog named Durado who led him down the stairs to safety amidst the panicked people (click here for the full story). Another example is of a dog called Honey (link here), who rescued her owner after his car got stuck in a ravine by finding and leading people to where the car crash occurred. Dogs also have undying loyalty towards their owners. One famous story about a dogs faithfulness is the story of Hachi , an Akita dog who waited everyday at the train station for his master, even after he had passed away.

Dogs have many uses and can also be a companion to you. They are fun to play with and maybe someday, your dog might even save you!
