As a passionate dog lover with years of experience observing fellow pet parents, I know true devotion when I see it. Love your pup unconditionally? Great—but if these signs ring true, you might be taking it to heartwarming extremes.
1. The hardest part of your day is deciding which dog shirt to wear.
2. Your life motto: "The more people I meet, the more I love my dog."
3. Your dog was your bridesmaid at your wedding.
4. You check in on your dog via camera while at work.
5. You're prepping your dog for football season.
6. You spend more time (and money) shopping for your dog's outfits than your own.
7. You always grab a puppuccino (free whipped cream treat) for your dog at Starbucks.
8. You use a dog bike trailer because even a quick ride is too long to leave your furry friend home alone.
9. For longer walks, you've got a dog stroller ready.
10. You only dine at dog-friendly restaurants.
11. Kid-level perks are now reserved for your dog...
12. ...because your dog is your child.
13. You chat with your dog like they're a full-fledged family member.
14. Your phone's dog photos have gone from adorable to obsessively extensive.
