Adopting a dog is considered a positive choice because it allows you to give a homeless animal a second chance at life, helping to reduce pet overpopulation in shelters, and providing a loving home to a deserving creature who might otherwise be euthanized; essentially, you’re “saving a life” by adopting.

A dog, for many people, is a loyal companion who provides unconditional love, companionship, a sense of purpose, and can significantly improve mental and physical health by encouraging exercise and reducing stress; essentially acting as a faithful friend who is always there for you, making them considered “man’s best friend.”
