Loving a dog gives you courage.
Being loved by a dog gives you strength.
You'll find courage to get out of your comfort zone, push yourself, and do whatever you can to ensure it has a great life.
Somehow, a dog gives you the strength to do things you never thought you could.

Never lay in the kitchen begging while humans cook. The most you'll get is a scrap.
Instead put your paw around something cute and wink. The human should quickly respond with "OH you're so sweet!" and immediately pay out.
