dogs are super cute :)

Ahh, this is a really nice hub! Dog owners will SO relate to it (me included!) and non-dog owners may just be persuaded to give 'em a go! "They are content just being with you" is my personal favourite - their love is unconditional and deserves total respect. Love my Asha dog! (= loopy black labbie!)
penlady from Sacramento, CA on February 23, 2013:
Dogs are so lovable! And I just love the one in the picture - what a cutie!
Great hub. Just the subject matter alone makes me smile. :)
Kristin Kaldahl on July 25, 2012:
I loved "They don't talk politics." Great list!! Voted up.
Maria Cecilia from Philippines on July 25, 2012:
The older they get the more amazing they become, since I am living alone I got used to talking to my dogs and I found them adorable when they seemed to react to what I say...
haopee on July 24, 2012:
You could have written a poem and it would still sound awesome. Nice hub.
2. They watch you intently... especially when you have good smelling food in front of you.
