Why Dog?
--------

[](#why-dog)

Your dog follows you because it's highly social - has a powerful emotional need for companionship - and knows that you are super-cool. You are the source of all good things in its life: food, walks, rides, treats, toys. Who knows what amazing thing will happen wherever you're going?
