We love our dogs. It is a special relationship we share with them that is unlike any other in our lives. With good friends we share our company, but with our dogs we share our solitude— and that is an unspoken, steady bond. Many of us might even choose a quiet night in with our dogs over a night out with friends because— let’s face it— many of us prefer dogs to people. And here are 10 signs that prove it.

Your dog eats better than you do— no grains, no GMOs, no preservatives. Only the best for them. What time does Subway open again? Right. Gotta get that foot long.

If you have a significant other, they best give you your sleeping space— no cuddly sleepers need apply. But you will literally hang off the bed if your pup looks comfy.

When’s your friend’s birthday again? Not sure. But you know your pup’s birthday and definitely celebrate.

When you come home after interacting with any other dogs, you feel guilty. After all, you don’t want your pup thinking you stepped out on them— you would never.

As a pet parent, you are desensitized to humans getting hurt on TV shows or movies, but if something happens to a dog in any scene, you probably cry, turn it off, or storm out.

You may or may not have children of your own, but it really doesn’t matter either way because you have a million and one pictures of your dog on your phone and social media accounts and show them off with pride. It is like you almost don’t even notice the eye-rolling anymore.

After a long, hard day when no one else can comfort you, sometimes all you need is a hug from your dog. They always know when you need some love and will never judge you when you’re being a big baby.

You have a hundred nicknames for your dog, some may not even be coherent words, just a string of syllables and sound effects. They get it, so who cares if anyone else does.

No matter how stressful your work day or how bad that commute home was, it’s always all better when you get that super-excited greeting from your dog. It makes it all worth it.

At the Pawsome Pet Company we believe that we need a 360 degree relationship with our pets, that includes love, diet, training, exercise and healthcare. If you would like to know more about what we do then check us out here.
