Some friends of ours just got a couple new pets. They got two boxer dogs, since they have plenty of space and thought it would be nice if they could keep each other company when they were at work during the day. They are really happy with their decision, they say the dogs are great company, especially when one of them has to go away on a business trip. The dogs keep the other one company. They also find that they are getting a lot more exercise since they have to take the dogs for walks every day, and the dogs like to walk fast.
