For all of my fellow college students who are hundreds of miles away from their four-legged friend, I understand how hard it is to be away from them. Now, if you're reading this and you're not a college student, you can probably still relate. Growing up with a dog can be such a treat, but it can also turn us into obsessive dog lovers. You don't realize you are an obsessive dog lover until you realize that the only thing you talk about is your dog.

1. Your Instagram is filled with pictures of you and your pooch.

2. You talk to your dog like it is a human and wait for it to respond.

3. You would rather hang out with your dog all day than with real people.

4. You miss your dog more than your parents.

5. You are not grossed out by slobbery kisses (from your pooch only).

6. You constantly talk about your dog.

7. When you FaceTime your parents, you make sure you get to talk to your pup before hanging up.

8. You would rather snuggle with your warm and fuzzy dog than a human.

9. You pet every single dog you see...everywhere you go.

10. You go on outings with just your dog.

11. You stare at your four-legged best friend sleeping.

12. You don't understand how people can hate dogs.

13. You are not friends with people who hate dogs.

14. You want to cry when you find out someone is allergic to dogs.

15. You have pictures of your dog hanging everywhere.

16. You dream of buying a million puppies and being that "crazy dog lady" down the street.

17. Your dog holds such a big piece of your heart and you can't imagine your life without them.

18. You can't imagine replacing your current dog(s), but know that you will always need a furry friend in your life.
