five great things about having a dog

Here is the first of what I intend to be a regular feature - a list of 5 light-hearted dog-related things.

Today's list comprises 5 great things about having a dog.

1. A dog is terrific company and having one means you need never be lonely
2. Having a dog makes sure you get exercise everyday
3. A dog is there for you without being the least critical or judgemental
4. Dogs are beautiful to look at (even those who are so-ugly-they're-cute)
5. When you have a dog you are pretty much guaranteed never to have the worst breath in your house
