Dogs: Many Uses and All Heart

Modern society has developed a wonderful dependence on our dogs! People do not use dogs merely for companionship. Dogs are loyal guards of our families and our businesses. Service dogs help not only the blind, but for people with various types of health problems that prevent them from being able to accomplish everyday tasks that the dog will help with. Dogs are very accomplished at learning both tasks that make them good companions and make them wonderful workers. Police utilize dogs for many tasks, and in this case the dog is completely dedicating it’s life to work just as hard as it’s handler. They also make sure they bring the appropriate dog travel products when cruising the streets.

Dogs are used in the military in much the same manner. You’ve probably noticed that dogs have a place in entertainment as well. They are used for commercials, TV shows, and movies. Think about how many times you’ve seen a dog in the movies! Canines are highly trainable, though some are easier to train than others, and will happily show off that they learn. But they also love to relax, chewing on tuffies dog toys, and just enjoying being a dog. We also see dogs in shows throughout the world. These dogs show either excellence in skill or have an exactness of the breed characteristics. This too provides entertainment for the audience and a devotion to the chosen breed. Dogs have varying characteristics that allow them to be more suitable for certain jobs or tasks.

Most dogs are more than suitable as companions, however! This is a job the dog takes on in addition to any other job given. A dog will put forth all the effort they possibly can just to get your approval. Their greatest reward is the words “Good Dog” and the greatest reprimand that can be given is “Bad Dog”. All dogs love treats, but what they truly crave is a pat on the head and a kind word from their owner. This can be something given by adults as well as children. That is probably why we grow up loving our dogs and later have dogs as part of our families when we are grown and have children of our own. Then the cycle of happiness continues for the following generation.
