Working title: Dogs are Better Than Humans Source: 19 Reasons Dogs Are Better Than Humans

by [|Chrissy Stockton]

 * You would think** that humans far surpass dogs or any creatures living on Earth. However, man's best friend may

deserve a little more credit than we give them. In this source, Stockton created a somewhat humorous and eye-

opening article that basically describes why "dogs rule and humans drool." She starts off with the simple fact

that dogs "are happier" than most people. I don't know how many people can argue with that considering most

people these days need to wag more and bark less. From there she proceeds to give readers 18 more reasons

why our fluffy friends are superior to human beings. Some of these reasons include their incredible athletic ability,

there calming influence, their impeccable senses, and their quick "potty training". **Humans tend to believe** that we

are particularly adept peoples. But can we sniff out explosives or tell by a person's scent whether they have

cancer? No. We can't. But a dog can. **According to Stockton**, we have 19 reasons to be thoroughly impressed by

our K-9s and they should be respected for what they are worth. The article goes into each reason with a small

description or anecdote about the subject. For instance, under the section "They have Plato's Approval", Stockton

quotes Plato on the subject of dog-human interaction.
