According to the ASPCA, there are more than 78 million pet dogs in the United States. That means there are millions of children who have a furry family member to guard them and make them feel loved. 

Not only do dogs keep a close protective eye on children, but they also teach them important life lessons. From how to care for animals, to unconditional love, and so much more - there are an immeasurable number of benefits to growing up with a pup!

Parents Magazine explained that having a pet at home can help your children with their school work as well!

"Educators have long known that bringing therapy animals (mostly dogs) into schools helps developmentally challenged kids learn. Now they are finding that all children can benefit from the presence of a nonjudgmental pal with paws.

Learning is so much fun when your favorite furry friend is by your side!
