An abundance of love on Valentine’s Day comes from these adorable, four-legged furry friends. If you’re unlucky in love, have tried the 8 Minute Speed Dating and all else fails, get a dog.

Hint: Californians spend the most money as taxpayers to have unwanted dogs euthanized, including 25% that are purebreds. Shop at a shelter when looking for that perfect, furry friend.

Dog benefits:

• Make people smile
• Like to play
• Don’t nag
• Can help to extend lifespan
• Curb loneliness & depression
• Can promote a healthy heart
