Dogs, like men, are straightforward and loyal creatures, which is why we have enjoyed our friendship with them for at least 14,000 years.

When even the Australian ABC (not noted for its work for the rights of blokes) acknowledges the role that dogs can play in the mental and emotional well-being of men, you know there must be some truth to the old adage about "a man's best friend".

And if this article's overtones of "toxic masculinity" get under your (flea) collar, Paul Elam's take on the bond between men and dogs might provide some relief.

Ingo, my last faithful canine mate, died 4 months after my ex left some 6 years ago - suffice it to say I've been keenly browsing the local dog pound's temporary residents of late.
