    Dogs make perfect companions for humans for several reasons. Their heightened senses allow them to detect threats that humans cannot, as exemplified by Stubby the dog who warned soldiers of gas attacks in WWI. Dogs are naturally loyal and form close bonds with humans due to seeing them as part of their pack. Their instinct is to protect pack members, so they serve as guardians and deter burglars from homes. A dog's senses are far superior to humans, allowing them to serve as excellent service animals.
