Cheer up! I have the answer to all your problems. You are lonesome. You are out of shape. You are not given the respect you deserve. Listen to my special prescription for you. Go get yourself a dog! What's that? You think that would only make things worse? I beg to differ. Let me tell you why.

Dogs do not make anything worse. They bring an invisible healing quality to your life just by being there. You will not be lonesome for long once you head out around town with your dog. Dogs give people the freedom to start up dog-related conversations. They will ask all about your dog, but they will inadvertently find out a lot about you. Friendships may follow.

Instead of complaining about the tightness of you clothes, why not get your dog to help you get in shape? Let's face it; your record with sticking to weight loss diets is not good. This is not the first time you have searched for a lasting fat loss solution. Your dog would love to help you search up hill and down dale for the magic answer. You have enough fitness equipment in your garage to keep a team of Navy Seals in shape. But you are not even in good enough shape to haul it out of there! Put your dog into service to help you get healthy. He is happy to run away, if that's what you need!

If it is respect you want look no further than a dog rescued from the pound or picked out from a breeder's brood. Dogs do not wait and size you up with a critical eye. Once they recognize you as their master, they just assume that everything you do is top notch. While people may have reservations about you or your abilities, your dog will assume that if it has to do with you, it is perfect. You cannot get better respect than that.

Why would you not get a dog? Some landlords or family members may raise objections to dog ownership. This can be a challenge for a prospective dog owner who knows in his heart that he is going to treat dog ownership as a pleasant duty. There will be no holes dug in flower beds or scratches on doors if you are in charge. But some people just cannot be convinced until they have iron clad reassurances. There is one good way to allay the fears of anyone who tries to dissuade you from your doggy dreams.

Obedience training is the best way to establish a stress free working relationship with your dog. He learns that you are in charge, and you learn how to guide him with love and firmness. The effort of attending these classes will be rewarded, over and over.

I am suggesting that a dog is an ideal companion for anyone who feels lonely, unhealthy or unloved. A dog can fill the void as no other pet can. He can be your biggest supporter and your best friend
