benefits humans get from adopting a dog.

"unconditional love" thing that we have
going for us.
return that love by adopting a dog and
caring for it, taking daily walks, giving
treats, having lots of play time and even
going to the vet. Other ways that humans
show their love is with fancy collars,
sweaters and costumes for Halloween. Dog
owners put a lot of thought into naming
"their" dog, taking photos and even having
their dog's portrait painted. I was a bit
skeptical about having to sit still to have
my picture painted, but
have to sit still she can use a photo. She's
painted lots of dogs (cats, too) and really
captures the personality of the subject.
That's probably because she has a couple of
dogs of her own, as well as cats, ducks and
parrots, and she's sensitive to animals.
adopting a dog will change your life for
the better! Personally, I can't imagine why
