Dogs make us more humane and better persons. It's because of them that living alone is can be bearable and fun. The loyalty and humor that these furry creatures give our lives are nothing short than blessings that must be nurtured each day. For people who are laid back, low energy dogs are great companions; for outdoor buffs, then your canine friend must belong to the sporting breed. I love how our personalities match those of our dogs. Awesome, isn't it? For some great articles about different breeds that impact our lives, see: http://dogsaholic.com/training/low-energy-dogs.html
