Dogs are our loyal confidantes, silent listeners to our triumphs and tribulations. With a heart so pure and eyes that reflect unwavering devotion, they teach us the art of unconditional love—a language understood without uttering a single word. Meanwhile, a tired dog is a happy dog. Getting your dog the exercise and socialization they need is an important part of responsible pet ownership and can help keep your dog from getting into mischief caused by boredom.
