There are so many great reasons to own a dog. Not only do they give you selfless and unconditional love and devotion, but it has been shown that petting a dog can actually lower your blood pressure, they can keep you from being lonely, make you more social and some of these amazing creatures can even detect cancer! And I am a firm believer (as is Ryan Gosling who loves his shelter dog, George!) in all of the good that comes along with canine parenthood. After all, I have three rescued pups!
