Agreed. I spend more time with my dog then I do most humans. She's much better company. Hiking, watching TV, driving, laying in bed all day, etc. Always down and never complains.
We have a cat as well. She's a bit on the spicy side tho. You would think that the cat is the big scary pitbull. A 60lb American Pit Bull Terrier that gets bullied by a 8lb (maybe) cat. π
