Dogs are awesome!

Dogs are definitely the best companion a person could have. They are playful, loving, and loyal, and can help you overcome loneliness, mental health issues, or simply just add a bit more joy to your life.

However, it is important to remember that they are living beings who require lots of care and commitment for many, many years. Because of that, it is important to choose the right breed that suits your lifestyle, income, and energy levels. Even if you are choosing to rescue a dog, you can learn a lot by knowing what kind of mix they are and what their temperament and behaviour is like!
