Introduction
Owning a dog is a hugely rewarding and
enriching experience, so there is little
wonder that dogs are one of the most
popular of all pets, ranking only below
cats.
There are good reasons for why cats lead in
the popularity stakes. Dogs offer qualities of
love, loyalty, and companionship that you are
unlikely to find in the independent-minded cat, but
a dog does require a lot more time and attention,
which means he is not the perfect pet for everyone.
If you decide to take on a dog, life will never be
the same—which has both positive and negative
connotations. You are responsible for his care in
terms of providing the correct diet, attending to his
grooming requirements, and giving him sufficient
exercise. But of equal importance is the need to give
your dog time.
A dog thrives on human companionship and he will
be miserable—and even destructive—if he is kept on
his own for long periods.
