Here are just some of the reason why a BFF who is a “dog person” can be wonderful. No over explaining why your pooch is the way he is – they already know!
1. They are most likely a morning person.
If not by choice, probably because their pup has woken them up at the crack of dawn so many days in a row that it has just stuck! It’s always great to have someone up early to enjoy a cup of coffee with.
2. They’re totally okay with staying home when you feel like it. No questions asked.
Have a wild night out planned but you heard the forecast is calling for a storm? Instant cancellation of plans because you know Fido is going to have a stressful night. A dog person will completely understand and will probably suggest a cuddle puddle on the couch, dogs included.
3. They know what it means to be loyal.
As a dog person, they know what the true meaning of loyalty is, all thanks to their dog.
4. They are always prepared for anything.
Having a dog means they know they have to be prepared for anything. That means when you call ’em for an emergency they are bound to come PREPARED.
5. They are compassionate.
People who care for animals show a kind of unique compassion. If your friend has a no-dog-left-behind attitude, you know they will be the same to you!
6. They are probably used to being active and going outside.
Pups require a lot of activity, so a dog lover is probably used to running around in the park or going on hikes. While you won’t necessarily be playing fetch with your BFF, there is definitely a positive side to finding someone adventurous!
And what better friend to have in case of an emergency! If you have to go out of town for a couple days, leaving your poor dog at home, who better to call that a person you know is good with pups! They can take care of him or her, making sure they have food and water and nice rub behind the ears until you get back! Who needs boarding when you have a friend like that?
You might want to take this list and the other reasons over on Bark Post on your next dog-walk with your pup-loving friend. You two can compare notes, laugh and nod at what is written, and bond ever more!
