1. You go through all the pics you have of them on your phone.

Not to mention, you show practically all of them to you friends like you are a proud parent.

2. And… your walls are probably covered with pictures of you and your “best friend.”

You made sure to print like fifty of them. No one has to guess if you’re a dog person.

3. You FaceTime the fam…. just to see your dog.

Yep. You can really tell who you love the most. FaceTime was definitely just invented for this purpose.

4. You stop to pet every dog you see on campus.

You feel like you’re cheating on your dog a little bit, but you’re sure they would understand.

5. You’ve seriously considered kidnapping your dog and hiding him/ her in your dorm.

Other People have stray cats in theirs….. why not a dog too?

6. You ask the ‘rents to send you pics and updates on your favorite “honorary person.”

The English language gap is kind of a problem, and your dog obviously doesn't have thumbs to text with…. So you kind of have to rely on other forms of communication.

7. You get really excited for breaks and random trips home, because you get to surprise your dog.

You make your family record your homecomings to post on the ‘gram.

8. You are so, so glad, that you have such a cute dog to miss!

Because let’s be honest, your dog is one of the main reasons you come home.
