Best friends? Of course. Our children? YOU BET. Dogs have been promoted from man's best friend to our precious fur-sons and fur-daughters. And why shouldn't they be considered our fur-children? We take them for regular check-ups and shots. We send them to school and daycare so they can learn to behave at the park. Try as we may to stop it from happening, they still crawl into bed in the middle of the night (and we let them stay). We arrange playdates, birthday parties, and sleepovers. We know when they aren't feeling right, and they know us just as well. For a lot of our fur-babies, their lives would be different in the worst way if we hadn't found them. And anyone owned by a four-legged wiggle worm knows the same can be said about them.

To celebrate our special bonds, here are some true and hilarious truths that every fur-mom and fur-dad can appreciate.
