Why people love dogs

Here's a good reason people like dogs: they save kids from dying.

Short story: Three year old kid and two puppies wander off from their Virginia home. The kid survives being lost for 21 hours in the woods despite temperatures sinking to 17 degrees. Why? Because the puppies snuggled up against him to keep him warm.

Go read the entire story. It's only a click away, there are pictures and it'll all make you smile.

Awww. That's the good stuff!

I believe Charles Schulz coined the phrase, "Happiness is a warm puppy."

In our house, it's more like "happiness is a hefty, snoring pug." He'd probably eat us if placed in a similar situation as those two puppies, but we love him anyway.
