Also good for teenagers as they are the only being in the house that loves or understands them!!
 
I notice it refrains from mentioning that a badly behaved dog can be incredibly good for raising your stress levels   (although maybe that's what they mean by 'giving you exercise').  So do I assume we all have perfectly controlled ones? !

I think its only dogs that understand teenagers!!!

Love it!
(when I was a teenager Indeed the family dog was the only one who understood me...)
