Man's Bestfriend

Why are dogs called "Man's best friend?"

Through the ages, man has called dog one of his closest companions. He has also called him protector, helper, lifesaver, and provider. Dogs are an incredible friend to man because they have been there through the years, through any task and any challenge, but the relationship between dog and man goes a bit deeper and older.

It's a symbiotic relationship, since dogs have been domesticated to a point where they need us to survive, and we tend to find that we need them almost as much.

Plain and simple: we call dogs our best friends because we love them. We take pride in our dogs, and sometimes show them off to others as we would our children. We play with them, hold them close, and rely on them for any number of reasons. The reason that we call dogs "man's best friend" is a simple one. It is becausw dogs allow us to be their best friends.
