So you're a dog lover. You watch a cute puppy video on Youtube and fall asleep in your big, comfy bed and that's nice. A dog owner or a parent, though, has less time for such videos, and even less space in bed - it belongs to the dog now (it should also be noted that the reality of sleeping with your pooch is way less cute than you might imagine.) And it's just one of the many differences between loving and having dogs seen in funny drawings by Kelly Angel.
Are you a dog lover or a dog parent? Vote for and comment on the cute drawings that you can relate to your everyday problems as a dog person the most! One thing is for sure – even if the experiences differ, pet dogs bring endless love and joy to our lives in any case! If you like what you see, have a look at other Angel's funny illustrations where she depicts the way you see yourself vs. the way your dog sees you.

Parent. Mostly if i'm scouring the internet for dog friendly places, it's for hotels at dog show venues when we're headed to an obedience event.
And you accept the crappy rooms they give people traveling with pets.
My husband and I don't even travel together anymore since one of us has to stay home and watch our 15 year old senior dogs!
All of our trips are only booked at dog friendly hotels. Our dogs are wonderful travelers.
Vacations? Never! Just can't do with all our dogs - don't trust anyone with our "kids" ;) so we don't' vacation!
I'm in-between those two LOL I can't take my big dog on vacation (at least on a plane long distance), but my entire vacation is spent checking in on my babies. My friends and family that watch them will regularly send me texts and videos saying 'hey mom, just wanted to let you know we're having a good time with ' :)
Nope. Leave the 2 legged kid home with the 4 legged kids. Much cheaper.
I agree with all except only in the most positive ways. I wouldn't have it any other way. My doggies (plural) sleep with me, eat with me, walk with me, ride with me, wait for me...we have mutual admiration for each other! I'll love them as long as they have breath!
Well I refuse to be enslaved to an animal...however my husband has a psychological need for dogs...one tiny one sleeps with him on his side of the bed,the other 2 sleep in their kennels...I HAVE a dog,but days go by and I don't pet her or talk to her..she's a DOG..an ANIMAL...I'm not IN LOVE with her..no huggy kissy kind of relationship

ABSOLUTELY (sorry about the caps) everything except the alarm clock.. my boy is pretty laid back and cuddles next to me until I get up.
Mine stay curled up under the covers even after I drag myself out of bed. They sleep through the alarm that sounds like a smoke detector going off.

I just bought a camping trailer so my dog does not have to sleep on the ground in a tent with me. She can sleep in a bed.
Strange, I own a dog, which I adopted and "she" behaves as she is next to me and not "on" me.
My dog was not that strong. He was very weak when we bought him. He loved me and i loved him like my Lil brother. My parents would not let him sleep with me but he wouldn't sleep unless he is in my room. He never liked being touched he was not that strong. But still he would sleep with his body touching me. I miss him a lot as he is no more. But he was such a loving buddy and brother i ever had! Dogs are the best of the gods creation and when i see some people hurting them for no reason. It really hurts. Why do people not see them as a living being for the least! These incidents reminds me of my buddy and makes me realize how much of things these people are missing by not experiencing the love of these kind and innocent creatures. Street dogs also will never attack unless they are harmed. Plz don't ever hurt them 😭
I'm a dog lover and a dog owner. My dogs aren't allowed to sleep in my bed, they have their own. I don't think they are the greatest, I've known better dogs but they are mine and I love them.
I'm a dog parent and everything that was illustrated is true especially the sleeping bit! But I still wouldn't trade my babies for anything!
My baby is always with me sleeps right by me watches tv with me well she even ate with me but her health is more important ever time she eats ppl food she gets sick but she's my baby
100% a dog parent to 4 dogs currently. I love them all with my whole heart, and would not trade them for anything. Fortunately, my husband gets it, and is as bad as me, although he will not admit it...
My Mollie Moo Moo is my absolute world and more. I take her everywhere with me and I do mean everywhere; if I have a hospital appointment or such like my sister is on hand to baby sit. We do everything together; we even have our meals at the same time. I only ever go dog friendly places and anyone who doesn’t love Mollie has no place in my home or my life... I love my little girl so much, every breath I take has Mollie written through it. xxxxx
BOL - barking out loud, ain´t it the same for cat lovers and cat mummies & daddies??? I never had an own dog, but always loved them, walked many from our local shelter and from our then neighbourhood as a child/teenie in the 80s, our father never let my sister, my mum and me have an own dog, he hated dogs and was even scared of the smallest dog, so we had cats instead from when I was 8 years on, and lter, when I left my parents´ appartment, I´ve already been too chronic sick to care for a dog, to walk one regularly....Thought I was too sick to care for ANY pet, until I adopted Gizzy from Gizzy, Thori and Sisi, da second hand kittehz in Oct. of 2010 (had his 7th Gotcha Day last Wednesday), from then on I only had 3, maybe 4 mild Lupus flares, before I had heavy ones that always came with a huge weight loss every 1-2 months, Thori came here in May of 2013, Sisi in July of 2014, but I still love dogs and pet those from neighbours (who let me pet them) whenever I meet them!!! 💖💖💖😂😂😂
Totally a dog parent here. Wouldn't have it any other way. Love my fur baby. This fellow has anything his little heart desires.
I'm a dog parent and proud of it. Love my furbabies!!!! This article is very true!
Every pic of the "dog parent" is me times 6. lol That is how many little puppers currently own us. ;)
Lol kinda true. I'm a dog parent, but I'm not all that crazy lol but I do love my baby with all my heart!
I wouldn't have it any other way! I love ❤️ that my dogs are always around me. I feel we are a team. And I'm the Den Mother. Sometimes I just shake me head because I can't believe what they got into. I had 2 dogs but recently got 2 nine week old puppies. Sisters.
Oh thank GOD. I thought I was the only insane person who obsessed over their pooch. I'm Daisy's guardian; I don't own her. And I will love and protect her the rest of her life because of the unconditional love she gives me every minute of her life. She makes me feel like her Sun and Moon. Why wouldn't I do everything possible for someone who loves me that much? I do the same for my husband, my step kids, my parents and brother for the same reason. If that makes me a nutcase, then I'm truly certifiable :D
I am definitely a dog parent I have broken up with three girls for trying to kick my dog out of the bed like hello he was here first its his bed!
I love my dogs and others, so I'm both. It takes hard work to be a dog parent, but it's the joy of enduring the good and bad, since they will forever be in your heart!
We are dog parents to three dogs .We share a king size bed with them. My husband is usually on the edge of the bed fighting for space..😂
I'm a dog parent, our one year old Boston terrier sleeps in our bed since day one he arrives in our family . We also celebrate his birthday ..
Dog parent ... and when on vacation I have my nephews watch my baby girl but I also have an awesome Doggie Daycare that she LOVES to go to.
This is for Hazel T your kinda right we tend to treat our animals like human I know I do with my dog...its not good to let a dog control you either, my dog is 14 and very smart so dont let the dog control you and love him but let him know who the boss it

I think most of us fall somewhere in between these 2 categories. I love my dog and would move the earth for her, but I'm not taking her on vacation with me--that would be a disaster. Lol!
You didn't get it... I suppose you don't have a furry son.
