Here’s the best part: while you’re hacking and wheezing, your dog is probably thinking, “My human needs me today. I will guard them with my body. I will lick their hand. I will bring them my favorite squeaky toy—even if they never throw it.” That’s pure devotion, and it’s 100% virus-free.
So next time you feel like a sick, sniffling mess, remember: your dog is your rock, your goofball, and your sneeze-proof soulmate. They don’t care if you look like a mess or sound like a goose. They just care that you’re there. And that’s the kind of love that’s contagious in the very best way.
Now go give your pup a snuggle—it’s medically recommended. (I’m not a doctor, but I play one in my imagination.)
