Do you have a dog? I have a MaltiPoo named Bella, she is the cutest thing ever!

I have two shepherd mixes.  Dogs were the first species to be domesticated

That does not shock me, they are great companions. I used to have a German Shepherd, great dogs, but a bit too big for how aggressive they could get

I haven't had any issues with aggression, but it's not surprising seeing as their closest living relative is the gray wolf

That is why we got a smaller dog, because when they are excited to see you, they could knock you over, but my dog cannot

They're always excited to see us!  They can be uniquely in sync with our behavior because of their long association with humans

They really are, even if I leave to go get the mail she is super excited when I get back!

They also can be amazing workers. They hunt, herd, protect, pull loads, and therapy dogs provide aid

Therapy dogs are heaven sent, they do so much good, dogs in general are great, playful and aggressive at times, but so sweet
