A dog is a male's best friend

It is quite true, but we cannot say that dogs are only friends with males, they are loyal to us humans which includes both males and females.
The species of dogs as we know of today's standards evolved from wolves dated many years back, which coexisted along with our ancestors.
And following the rules of evolution they evolved into canis lupus familiaris - modern day dogs.
Part of it is also because of their behaviour around humans which makes them loyal to us.

I don't know you two. They seem to want to eat me alive Shrug

One dog injured me so bad I had a nasty bruise for at least 7 months. Oh that was a bad memory...

Or maybe they like me a lot.....I'm thin...so maybe they're like I see bones...yummy

No. The best friend of any male is his wife. A dog is the best friend for some bachelors. I am more to cats.

Honestly, I don't love dogs, and cats either, but trying to follow the rules of H. P. Lovecraft I usually more to cats, because - "They are more intelligent" - as he said. 

Here's his article about this: русский / english

У Лавкрафта есть некоторые весьма простые, подчас даже очень посредственные рассказы, и кроме того, всякие эссе. Его биография также примечательна тем, что у него просто ужасно огромная по количеству писем была переписка с другими авторами. Так, он общался с Робертом Говардом (создатель "Конана-Варвара"), с Фрэнком Бэлкнапом Лонгом (известный его рассказ "Псы Тиндала"), также со многими другими известными личностями, в числе которых были поэт Самюэль Лавмэн и Роберт Блох (написал известный рассказ "Психоз" - по этому произведению Хичкок снял фильм "Психо").

In 'Scooby-Doo' you can ask his dog whatever you want. I've heard that dozens of right relaxation herbs can help with chanting with dogs

Also, I remember the film 'Cast Away' with Tom Hanks. When he appeared in an isolated island, he was trying to not go crazy, and he started to chant with a soccer ball. After four years Tom decided to leave the island. During his travelling on the sea he lost his 'new friend', and it was the most painful/hurt lost in his life. So, Tom cried about it. I think this episode shows that even a dog can become a friend for talking.
