Are dogs more loyal than humans? 

Some may say that dogs are more loyal than humans,do you agree?I believe
that they are.They say that unlike humans dogs are always there for you when you
need comfort and will never betray you.Dogs have a pack animal nature that makes it
easy for them to develop strong bonds with those they perceive as one of the pack.

I remember I watched a movie called “Max” it was about a man in the

Marine,Kyle, that had a trained military dog,Max,to help him.Sadly Kyle was severely
wounded and died,after that Max wasn’t himself and didn’t want to work with anyone
else in the Marine.Kyle’s family ends up adopting Max because the only human that
Max seems to willingly connect with is Kyle’s teenage brother.Kyle’s brother and Max
end up being real close friends and overcome obstacles together.This sums up the
loyalty in a dog because the dog was really affected by the loss of his best friend.The
fact that he was willing to connect to Kyle’s brother and no one else really shows how
much he cared for Kyle.
I read an article about the history and loyalty of dogs.According to Shannon
Casey,”Loyalty is also just a natural behavior for dogs.Dogs are pack animals,meaning
they are social creatures who prefer the company of other animals.Many dogs pick up
on our moods,and can tell when we are sad or angry.And we understand dogs in
return.We can read their expressions and tell when they’re scared,upset or joyful.”This
reminds me of when it’s 4th of July and the fireworks start,we know that dogs are
scared because they usually hide under tables,couches,or beds.Another example would
be when we leave for a long time like vacation and we see them when we get back,we
know they are happy because they lick our faces and jump all over us.I find it very
interesting that dogs understand our moods and expressions and we understand them
because many think you can’t communicate since dogs can’t talk.

Have you ever heard the saying,”Feed a human for 3 years and he will forget you
in 3 seconds.Feed a dog for 3 days and he will remember you forever.”To summarize
this dogs take anything you do for them as love you have for them.They are loyal to
you because they feel like you do so much for them.Humans aren’t the same,they
appreciate you but once you do something wrong they might not forgive you.Dogs will
always forgive you,they don’t hold grudges.Many think that just because dogs don’t
speak ,we don’t understand them,when we really do.So,do you think dogs are more
loyal than humans?
