Yes your parents love you, but you know they love your dog more because...

1. They always greet your dog first.

Whether they just got home from a long day at work or a quick trip to the grocery store, they greet your dog like they haven't seen them in weeks. You could be waiting for them at the door with arms wide open but nine times out of ten they will bend down and kiss the dog first. Cool.

2. Your dog has priority over the couch.

You walk into the living room and your dog is taking up half the couch and your parents expect you to sit on the floor. God forbid you try to move your dog over to make room for yourself!

3. They send your dog to the spa once a month.

They complain about throwing you $12 for a manicure or $30 for you to get your haircut once every six months but your dog goes to the groomer once a month.

4. Leftovers are non-existent.

Want seconds? Too bad - the leftovers are put aside for your dog for dinner. Oh and don't worry, whatever she doesn't eat tonight she will eat tomorrow.

5. They let your dog sleep in their bed.

You sleep in a twin-sized bed yet your dog gets to cuddle up between your parents in a king-sized tempur-pedic.

6. Your dog takes priority in your family's holiday card.

You take a hundred pictures in search of the perfect one where you and your siblings all look good. Your parents end up sending out the picture where your eyes are closed but your dog is looking right at the camera.

7. They never raise their voices at your dog.

Your dog could chew up the couch or do it's business on the new carpet but your parents never yell. You could forget to shut the television off before leaving the room and you would never hear the end of it.

8. The affection is never-ending.

The love is infinite. They cannot go minutes without hugging or kissing the dog and constantly talk about how fortunate they are to have your dog. You're lucky if you get a hug and kiss goodnight!
