1. They are your go-to Netflix pal.

And they don’t complain about what you’ll pick to watch as long as you give an occasional belly rub.

2. You get excited for weekends at home from school just to see them.

They greet you more enthusiastically than any human ever will.

3. They always get a Halloween, Christmas, Easter, and birthday gift.

And you know their feelings will get hurt if not. The big eyes tell all.

4. Their wardrobe consists of outfits for every season.

And you know their favorite doggy sweater and which coat they actually hate.

5. They take the best selfies with you.

It may take a few more tries than a normal selfie, but it’s always worth it. *Posts to Snapchat and Instagram*

6. You know what they want by the tone of their bark.

“You just had a snack—you don’t need another!”

7. You vent to them constantly…

…and they still choose to sit and listen to you the next time simply because they get to spend time with you.

8. They’re always down for a midnight snack.

And it doesn’t matter what it is.

9. They’re on your Snapstory more than you are.

"Oooo, new filter! Let's try it out!"

10. Your mom sends you pictures/videos of them when you’ve had a rough day.

And you have them all saved to your camera roll.

11. At the end of a good or bad day, they’re the first one you want to see.

Because puppy cuddles and kisses make everything better.
