Dogs are called man’s best friend for a reason, and not only are they exceptional companions, they can also easily help you improve your social life.

Here are a couple of things dogs excel at:

They can help you attract the perfect “mate”

Your dog is the perfect wingman. Being seen with your puppy is extremely appealing to other people, as it presents you as a good caretaker. Take your dog out next time you go looking for love.

They can help you prepare for a baby
Taking care of a pup is much like caring for a child. They require lots of attention and have to be supervised at all times. It’s great practice for looking after your own kids someday.

They help you meet new people
You need to walk your dog on a daily basis and take them to various places along the way – why not make it fun? Take them to dog owner gatherings and events, and you’ll be sure to meet some new people there.
