30 Tweets That Show Dogs Are Truly Man’s Best Friends, Shared By This Twitter Account Dedicated To Cool Dog Facts
As you probably know, all people are divided into two categories - those who love cats, and those who prefer dogs. We agree that cute cats are what the internet has been based on since the beginning of the world, but doggos are still our one true love. In general, people have always glorified dogs with great pleasure.
For example, like the creators of this popular Twitter page called Cool Dog Facts, who really collect interesting and thought-provoking facts about dogs' lives and their friends, accompanying them with cool pictures.
The motto of the blog, which has garnered almost 150K followers in around ten years of existence, is "Wag More. Bark Less". We do believe this motto perfectly captures the true nature of wonderful doggos.
Bored Panda created a curated list with the best of this page for you - isn't it great? We are sure that even the toughest cat lovers will shed tears of tenderness.

How you treat animals and how you treat staff. Always be nice to janitors, cleaning and cantine workers, cashiers...
Most people really like their dogs more than most people. In the end, who else is able to love their owner like Hachiko, be as selfless as Balto - and people always reciprocate to their devoted friends.
After all, the friendship of people and dogs is one of the main themes in world culture. Dorothy and Toto, Wallace and Gromit, Cruella de Ville... well, not exactly a good example, let's remember Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo, then.
There was a time where I adopted dogs that needed hospice care. There are people that cannot afford treatments and leave them at shelters because they think they have a better chance. There are charities that can help with this , don't let your dog pass away without his person.
Dogs do occupy a special place in our lives - because they, unlike people, are not capable of betrayal. As one wise man used to say, "The more I get to know men, the more I love dogs."
Cynologists believe that a dog always chooses a person for itself as the leader of its own pack. The wolf past still shows up, even if your dog is neither the size nor the appearance of a wolf.
While this is a lucky kid, this is also NOT OK. Even the most perfect dog can get tired, overstimulated and react. Dogs, like humans, aren't machines. They can have bad days. Teach your children not to get in their face. Also it's not all about how you raise them. Genetics play a huge role in behavior.
This is mostly true. But it’s not nature OR nurture, it’s both. Sometimes nature can win out despite your best efforts. I work with animals professionally, and have met quite a few dogs that were raised right but still have issues.
Uh ... this point actually has a lot of aspects in it that need to be adressed in some way ... and, to be clear right away - none of any of it is genuinely the dogs' fault. While raising and training and education are major influences on behaviour, so are genetics. Selective breeding provides an advantage for whatever the breeder is after in the kind of dog that is to be bred ... a race that is bred to engage in (thankfully, illegal in many places) dog fights will not be bred to be nice around children, but to react aggressively, to not wait, to not be patient. You can train out a lot of this, and while any kind of broadly administered euthanasia is wronger than wrong, that doesn't mean every race should be bred forever. Treating those well, care for them, who already exist, I'd never put in any queston, but ... although it often is unpopular, this no less bears a truth that isn't ignorable. And, NO, I do NOT say that race or genetics are everything (usually, that is the strawman someone engages in disproving - please, don't do this here this time...).
Not necessarily true, unfortunately. They are still animals. Unpredictable and they react on instinct. We love our fur babies. They're family. But they'll always be animals and we cannot change that.
As an adult our former neighbor told me about the day she first met me. I was in a playpen outside with my mom. I was reaching for the cat and she was batting at my hand. The neighbor asked my mom if she was worried "she might get hurt." My mother replied "Well, she'll never do that again." The neighbor told adult me that at the time she thought it was an odd reply, they she realised mom was saying I would learn not to hurt the cat. I have no doubt that's what my mother meant. We were raised to respect animals and treat them with love.
All my dogs would ever do is start licking the child's mouth and my kids would just open their mouths and let the dog have at it!
If your kid is scared of the dog, LISTEN. Don't dismiss them by saying "aww, he's just a baby" or "he's part of the family!" Teach your kid how to respect their boundaries, and especially make sure your dog is PROPERLY TRAINED. Your kid is more important than your emotions in this case.
Very true. Though some individual animals have severe mental issues, just as humans do, and can be dangerous. (Again, like some humans can be) don't judge immediately, but use proper caution :)
Remember Robinson Crusoe - when he got to a desert island, long before he met his only human friend, Friday, he regretted more than once that at least one dog was not with him at the moment.
According to the legends of many nations, all dogs definitely go to heaven after their death, and then, when time comes for their owner to pass away, the dog leads a person across the rainbow bridge leading to paradise, easing the burden of his sins.
Indeed, a dog does not care whether you are a successful person or not, how much money you earn or what kind of car you've got. It will stay with you in joy and sorrow, and will do its best to make you feel good, because you are its best friend.
And so does yours. Never understood that until I had my first rescue.
Also, if you're prepared for and committed to getting a dog, please adopt from a shelter. If you're going to be gone 10 hours a day for work, get a cat.
We'd love your comments and your best dog stories too, but if you're an orthodox cat fan, check out this recent "Klepto Cat" story. Or, for the neutrals, our dandy selection of raccoon memes. And the creators of the Cool Dog Facts blog for sure will continue delighting us with new facts - and new doggos.
I knew it was silly, but I felt guilty "replacing" my dog. I got a rescue and it felt like honoring my dog- not replacing her.
Don't need studies to know that... I've nested a pup in my hair, doesn't matter what anyone says, I'm still his mum. And he's my furever baby.
Our little rescue girl smiles. It’s so lovely, her dad comes home and she’s up on the sofa smiling at him. She also grins when she’s asleep. She’s too gorgeous!
German proverb: "Daß mir der Hund das Liebste sei, sagst du, o Mensch, sei Sünde? Der Hund blieb mir im Sturme treu, der Mensch nicht mal im Winde." (translates mostl to "Men say it's a sin I prefer dogs over their kin, but dog stayed at my side in a storm while men left me during the breeze.")
Step 2: be owned by a nice person. Sadly not all dogs have a nice home. 😔
Doesn't apply to Australian Cattle Dogs! They need SO much physical and mental stimulation!
The best part of my day is coming home and seeing my dog's feet dancing with excitement under the curtain. All that for me. That's love.
Rescue dogs are amazing. I had two rescue pitties. One has sadly passed but the other is still with us.

I went on a 5 day trip recently to visit family. Our two dogs were at home with my husband and son, but my husband told me they sat in the kitchen every day that I was gone, watching out the window for my return. I love those guys so much. My husband and son are great too! ☺️
On a lighter note here is a picture of the ONLY way Pitbulls should fight. pitbull-fi...f6414c.jpg 
See! This is why I keep saying that crimes against dogs should be like crimes against people! Someone steals your dog, they should be punished for kidnapping - not "property theft." It should be the equivalent of murder when police come onto your property without warning and shoot your dog because you weren't given the opportunity to safely restrain it. It should be treated like child abuse when you beat a your dog or drop it in the middle of nowhere. My dogs are the sweetest beings I could ever hope to know... they're my babies... and if something were ever to happen to them, my whole world would be crushed. Why shouldn't people be punished to the degree of the heartbreak they cause? Seriously.
I love my cat dearly, but after I lost my Lucy Loo, I just couldn't get another dog. Seeing this, I realize how much I'd love one again, but where I'm moving I can't because it's a sheep farm and it's working dogs only. No, I can be friends with them. They're there to "work". But I love my kitty like crazy.
