The Change In Standard Of Living Of Dogs

The man-dog relationship started since the time of human evolution. The human race should count themselves lucky to be gifted with such a nice, friendly and reliable animal friend gifted by God. It is amazing to see the turnover of the relationship that started as a partnership of natural process into an advantageous friendship with the changing time. The minted phrase "It's a Dog's Life" which was earlier very famous because of the woeful condition of the dogs sleeping outside, fed on whatever scraps of food were tossed his way and was even expected to earn his keep is now out of market. In this century the minted phrase has been converted into a new phrase "wish to reborn as a dog" which reflects the change in standard of living in dogs.

With the changing time the inclination to keeping dogs is increasing because they make happy and reliable companions. Dog lovers are always preoccupied with keeping their canine companions happy, healthy, and properly supplemented which reflects the change in their thoughts from rejection to acceptance that started decades ago. People are more concern about their dog's health than their own and take immense pleasure to hang out with their dogs than with friends because pets besides giving pleasure also impart a therapeutic effect on the owner. People get bonded with their pets readily because they do not judge us instead they do almost anything to keep us happy and dogs in particular offer the kind of unconditional love we all crave. They take the place of children and provide very sort of happiness to their childless owner or fill up the empty nest with their presence.

People treat them much the same way as they treat their children. Apart from taking care, a tremendous amount of money is spent providing goods and services that were once viewed as a luxury but are now considered essential. Dogs are given regular checkups, enrolled in obedience classes and provided premium dog food to impart proper habit. For entertainment purposes different types of pet shows are organized where they can participate. Especially designed toys are made for their entertainment purposes.

Most interestingly dogs have their own collections of clothing, jewelry and canine cologne. Doggie sunglasses are also available in the market to protect them from UV rays when they are out in the sun. Different types of harness are available that serves different purposes for example a safety harness when riding in the family car, a reflective vest on hunting trips, and rain gear in foul weather. Not only this luxury orthopedic bed is made for the dog to sleep and a cedar dog house to take shelters outdoors.
