The Dog Remedy

The most wonderful thing about having a dog is that they can cure just about any problem or issue that you may have. If you’re sad, a dog is happy to comfort you, and let you rattle off all your problems to their ever available ears. If you’re full of energy, a dog is happy to take you for a run or walk, granted you bring travel dog water bowls with you, speeding up or slowing town to your pace at any given moment. Though dogs are content to be alone most of the time, if you get lonely, your dog will be more than willing to play. Dogs are know for being a human’s best friend, because they are ready to meet you at your level anytime. Dogs are great for everyone - from children to the elderly to disabled people.

Whenever my husband comes home tired and beaten down from a hard day of office slavery, the dog is likely to lift his spirits as much if not more than my home-made meatloaf. Our dog is named Cody, and he’s a Great Dane. His beautiful face seems to smile all the time, and his coat is so soft I will lay next to him on any one of the beds for large dogs we got for him. His sickle shaped tail is constantly wagging, and he has more energy than I can believe. Cody loves to ride in cars, so it’s no hassle to bring him along on vacations, even though it sometimes seems like a bit of work to brush him, feed him and take him for multiple walks throughout the day.

It’s strange sometimes to think of how much a part of the family Cody is, but I suppose it doesn’t matter if we treat him better than some of our friends – after all, he’s our responsibility, and he repays us with joy and love that’s hard to get anywhere else.
