Introduction

I’ve had my Big Dog for about five years now, and she’s been the best dog I’ve ever owned. She has such a big heart and is so loving that she makes me wonder why more people don’t adopt rescue dogs. The fact of the matter is, dogs are social animals that love human companionship. If you look at it this way, you might think twice before buying a puppy from a pet store or breeder when there are so many great dogs in shelters waiting for homes!

I’ve never met a dog as loving and loyal as Big Dog.

It’s no secret that dogs are loyal. They’ll follow you around, sit next to you when they’re not sleeping, and often seem to know exactly what their humans need. But why is this? How can we tell if a dog will be a good companion? I’m here to explain some of the qualities that make Big Dog so special:

• Loyalty. If a dog is loyal, it means he or she will stand by your side no matter what—no matter how much pain you might be in or how troubled your life may become. A dog who doesn’t have this quality won’t stick around for long because loyalty requires sticking through tough times together rather than bailing when things get too intense or hard to handle alone without help from others (like friends or family members). It’s important to remember that while loyalty isn’t always easy—or even possible—it’s something worth striving toward nonetheless!

Big Dog is the best listener I’ve ever met.

Big Dog is the best listener I’ve ever met.

• He’ll never tell anyone your secrets, even if he can’t keep them himself.
• He won’t judge you or tell you that your problems aren’t important.
• He will listen until the end of time if you want him to—and then some!

Big Dog has made such a difference in my life.

I think that Big Dog has made such a difference in my life. I feel happier and healthier than ever before, and I attribute that to him. You see, Big Dog is a great listener, he always wants to spend time with you, and he makes you feel comforted by his presence.

All of this is why I think it’s important for people to adopt animals from shelters or rescues when they can. It gives them a chance at having the best possible lives they can—not just the easiest lives—and makes sure that someone who could be interested in caring for an animal is able to do so. And if you’re anything like me, then adopting an animal will change your life forever!

People ask me all the time how long I’ve had Big Dog and how long I’ve been training her.

I’ve had Big Dog for five years and I have been training her since she got her first set of puppy shots. I have been training her to sit, stay, lay down and roll over since she was six months old.

I started with a simple command of “sit” which I taught her by using a treat in my hand. If she sat when I asked, then she got the treat but if not, then no treat for you!

Then we moved on to “stay” which again used food as an incentive for behavior that resulted in what I wanted at that moment – staying still so that I could give them their treat.

Once these two basic commands were mastered (which took about one month), we moved on to laying down which took another month before Big Dog could do it reliably every time without needing any prompting from me or food rewards anymore than just one per session of practice sessions where nothing else was going on except learning how to lie down quietly while paying attention only on what we were doing together – me teaching Big Dog how NOT TO MOVE WHILE SHE WAS DOWN! This was much harder than teaching her how NOT TO MOVE WHEN SHE WAS STANDING UP because even though both behaviors require stopping movement between different positions (standing vs lying down), they involve different kinds of actions at each stage along with different consequences involved when executing either type correctly – standing up after sitting still feels good because now we’re moving forward toward whatever goal might motivate us while lying down feels bad because now we DIDN’T get rewarded after doing something right like walking away from someone who didn’t deserve our attention anymore; whereas sitting still means nothing has changed except maybe getting closer toward something else such as getting fed treats or going home again after playing outside for awhile.”

There are some misconceptions about rescue dogs – that they are somehow damaged goods or less than other dogs. Not true.

You may think that rescue dogs are less than other dogs, or are damaged in some way. Not true! Rescue dogs can make just as good pets as any other dog, and they can be trained just as well to do what you want them to do. They’ll also be loyal, loving companions for years and years.

It’s important for people to understand that adopting is just as rewarding as buying a dog.

It’s important for people to understand that adopting is just as rewarding as buying a dog. Adopting a dog is a great way to help an animal in need, and it’s also a great way to teach your kids about responsibility.

My Big Dog has inspired a lot of other people to adopt dogs!

My Big Dog is a popular dog who has inspired many people to adopt dogs of their own. While there are many reasons why people choose to adopt rather than buy, shop, breed or steal a dog, I think the most important reason is this: it’s the right thing to do. Every time you bring an animal into your home and become its family member, you’re saving a life.

A rescued dog can make a wonderful, loyal pet worth its weight in gold.

A rescued dog can make a wonderful, loyal pet worth its weight in gold. I adopted my pup when he was 5 years old and not in the best shape. But his personality is just like it was when he was puppy: friendly, loving and very cuddly (he loves being around people). He also has an amazing sense of humor that’s hard to describe except to say that he thinks everything is funny and will often burst out laughing at seemingly nothing. His love for life is contagious and has made me laugh on many occasions as well.

He has become part of my family over time and we have learned from each other, which makes both of us better people than before we met each other. Dogs are not damaged goods; they need love and attention just like any human does so please consider adopting one!

Conclusion

The bottom line is that my dog has been a loyal companion, and I’m so glad to have her in my life. She’s made me happier, healthier and more confident than ever before. It’s hard for me to imagine what my life would be like without Big Dog – but now that you know the story of how we met and what she means to me, maybe it will inspire you too!
