Not only do dogs provide endless joy and companionship, but they also teach us important life lessons - like patience (hello, potty training!) and responsibility. And as any dog owner knows, there's nothing quite like the feeling of coming home to a wagging tail and an ecstatic pup eager to shower you with affection.
