2. Don't ask for money all the time
3. Are easier to train (except: Golden Retrievers)
4. Normally come when called ( For the dogs )
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and... true to true,
