Dogs are called a "man's best friend" for a reason. Dogs are very loyal pets. Aside from that, they are also awesome friends. A dog will keep you busy and whenever you need your dog, it will always be there for you. Dogs also work great as a security system; and yes, even the small ones. Dogs can improve your health as well because of the training exercises, daily walks, and even daily jogs you do with them. On top of that, your dog will love you unconditionally. Still, having a dog also has its peculiarity.

Below are five illustrations that only dog owners will understand:

Aside from all of the great things that are mentioned above, you can also learn a lot from watching how a dog behaves. Just like the illustration, no matter what kind of shitty situation you are dealing with right now, remember that you can always kick grass and dirt over it and simply move on. Who knew dogs could also offer a Confucius-like advice?

This is a funny one. Dogs have the tendency to display weird, unusual behavior. For example, as the illustration says, dogs will bark at nothing. For dog owners, they always say this when their dog barks at something; but deep down, every dog owner will get a little bit scared of it. After all, dogs have much better senses and they could be sensing something that humans can't. In fact, here's something that is hilarious: whenever a dog barks at something that seems to be nothing but thin air, pet owners will start thinking - do you see a ghost?

Every dog owner can relate to this. Whenever you are eating something, your dog will be there waiting and looking at you. It's like they are communicating something in the likes of "Is that food? Can I taste it? Just a taste, I promise." And then? They hit you with the most adorable, pleading eyes.

This is another common behavior of dogs that every pet owner has noticed. Whenever you are doing something, like reading a book or watching television, your dog will be communicating that it wants to get out. On the times that you do take the dog outdoors, there will be a point that the dog will want to get back indoors. In a couple of hours, the dog will want you to take him outside again. Then the cycle repeats for the rest of the day, every day.

Dogs are really affectionate pets. It seems they always want to be near you. It's no wonder that your dog will sleep on your lap from time to time. Whenever this happens, pet owners don't want to disturb the dog's sleep. As a result, pet owners are stuck in the position. It's like pet owners trying to win a parlor game like playing a statue.

So that's it for now. Of course, dogs also exhibit other peculiar and funny behaviors but the ones mentioned above are the most common. In fact, if you are a dog owner, you are probably smiling right now because of how true the illustrations are.
