Dogs are loyal animals who love us no matter what. Because of this, they have feelings and thoughts too. We should remember this if we want to give them the best life possible. Here are 20 facts we should not forget..

I won’t get it right all the time, but i’ll always try my best.

In the same way that I trust you, I need you to trust me too.
Dont stay mad at me forever. And don’t punish me for long.
You have your friends and family to keep you company. You are my only company.
Dont leave me outside when the weather gets bad.
The outside doesn’t have a heater and its freezing. Im not asking to sleep in your bed or on the sofa, but the kitchen floor will be better than this.
Speak to me.
We might not be able to talk back, but your voice makes us happy.

Remember i’ll never forget the way you treat me.
Make sure I know that humans are just as loving as we are.

All the sights, all the sounds, they are the greatest pleasure for me. We don’t have to walk for ages, you don’t even have to play with me. I just want enjoy the outside with you.
Let me make new buddies.
I might not get on with everyone I meet in the end, but meeting new animals once in a while brightens up my life.
Treat me every so often.
Food is one of my favourite things in life. I know you want to look after me and keep me healthy, but once in a while it would make my day if you gave me a treat or two.

It might look like I’m being lazy or boring, but sometimes if I am not myself, I might need your help.
Love me always, even when I am older.
I might not be the puppy I once was, but I still love you the same. Look after me when my body is no longer as young.
