Why Men Love Dogs by Jef Costello

This is a personal, reflective essay by Jef Costello (a longtime contributor to Counter-Currents, often writing on philosophy, culture, and personal topics) exploring the deep emotional bond between men and dogs. He argues that dogs embody many of the masculine virtues men admire in comrades or soldiers—loyalty, obedience, courage, ferocity, and playfulness—while providing uncomplicated companionship that inspires men to be better.
