Dogs, IMO, are better than people 90% of the time.
Growing up, I had a doberman, as an only child she was with me ALL THE TIME and my best friend.
My wife and I have had boxers. Fantastic breed, especially with kids, and about the funniest breed on the planet. One of the few dog breeds that wag not just their nubbin tails, but their entire back half....ours touches head to beeehind all the time.
So, that said the Stonedogs and Charlie the boxer are sending boxer wiggles, kisses and good thought from the hoomens!
