In the UK there are some 12 million pet dogs, with nearly one third of all families / households owning one or more. It is not really surprising, because dogs make for the very greatest pets and will be your friends for life.
They also bring great benefits with them. They can keep your home secure, particularly if you have a large breed, because burglars will think twice if they know that there is a dog on the premises. Even if they don’t, if they hear barking, they are very likely to choose somewhere else from which to steal.
Dogs have another great benefit too, and that is that they need a lot of walkies. That means that, as a dog owner, you get a lot of exercise too. Maybe not quite as much as your dog, because when you take them out into the countryside – fields, woods, and so on – or to the beach, they will go tearing off all over the place sniffing out this and that and meeting other dogs. But you will still get regular exercise which helps to keep you fit as well.
Apart from that, and feeding and regular brushing, and the occasional bath, dogs do not take up a lot your time either.
Some Accessories
When you keep a dog, you do need certain accessories, although not many. A collar and lead were once considered enough by many people, but today a lot of dog owners use an adjustable harness instead of a collar. A harness can be much more comfortable for your dog, particularly if he or she tends to pull on the lead, as it cannot harm the neck.
