Although our beloved dogs are a pawrt of the family, they can still hold an outsider’s perspective on how their family runs things. Even those who grew up in the same family since they were puppies are often the thread that brings the whole family together and won’t pick sides. And the caring canine creates a connection with each family member separately.
There’s Dad, who didn’t even want a dog yet somehow adores him the most. He once was asked if he was selling his pup, and he replied that he would sell his hooman family members before he’d sell his doggo. He fantasizes about fishing trips, just himself and the dog, some beers, and quiet. There’s Mom, who yet again comes home to a full sink with dirty dishes, and the one family member who sends an understanding gaze to her is her teruffic canine. Kids, at every stage of growing up, create the best connection with the family dog, AKA their most pawsome bestie. The babies learn with them the very first steps, and the older children can tell them all their secrets without worrying they’ll tell anyone. And then there are the grandparents, who smuggle treats to the pup whenever nobody sees them.
All of you dog lovers probably imagine your dashing doggo right now, we get you. writing this got us to call our Mom and ask her for family photos with our childhood canine too. Until your mom sends you yours, here are some other family members with their pooches.
