There's an old saying, “Love me, love my dog.”

 There's an old saying, “Love me, love my dog.” People bond very closely with their personal animals. He wants you to share in that. You need to ask yourself why you wouldn't want to interact with an animal he loves. Smells funny? Jumps on you? Don't want to share his attention? The dog is part of his family. I was always a cat person. My husband loved dogs. For Christmas one year, he handed me a tiny black ball of fur named Smoke as my present. She was a Eurasian Chow. Beautiful face, sparkling black eyes, black tongue, and very loving. I grew to love her, despite constantly brushing 3 layers of fur, baths when she jumped out of the tub and threw soap suds all over the house, vacuuming, walking in all kinds of weather. She loved to ride in the car with her head out of the window. She loved to play in the snow and autumn leaves. She loved to watch the rabbits and squirrels. I lost my husband 3 years later, but Smoke comforted me, listened to me cry, mourned with me, and protected me from strangers. She would silently steal up to a threatening personage and only make herself known when she was within striking distance. All I had to do was give her the word. She was my dog for 18 years. She died of cancer in my front yard. Her vet agreed to euthanize her in my arms while she watched the rabbits and squirrels one last time. You have no idea what you are missing in not experiencing the love and loyalty of a dog.
