10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Ive grown up always around dogs. My parents first dog, Max, was just a few months old when I was born, and when we were both teething, we used to chew books together on the living-room floor. Later in life, my parents got another dog, Sammy, who was the beloved family dog for fifteen years.

Today, visiting my parents always means an excited furry friend meeting me in the hallway, long Sunday afternoon walks on the beach, evenings spent curled up on the sofa together, and an abundance of dog hair on everything. I love dogs and always will. They are eternal optimists, silly, playful, forgiving, and endlessly loyal, which is why we can all learn a little something from them. Emma
