Some people argue dogs are the best thing that happened to humanity. They're loyal, cheerful, friendly, smart... It's no surprise we get carried when they're around. We plan our lives around doggies, we spoil them more than we do our children, and tell them 'I love you' a 100 times a day. Yup, the shocking truth is that dog owners are pretty much owned by dogs.
Bored Panda created a list of tweets that shows just how canine-obsessed we are. Vote for your favorite and tell us if you recognized yourself in them.

I do the same thing when I leave for work. I'm like I'm doing this for you millie to buy you bones
I look at my dog like " what do you want from me" then remember that i'm holding food
The dog doesnt care about a good life. Tbh, he would be just as happy living with you in a lean-to. They dont know or care about vet bills...*sigh*.
i do it for my cat!!!!! She has saved my life several times and is mt most beloved child!!!
As long as it is barking and does not extend to butt-sniffing, this is an exemplary deed!
I always tell my dog the silent approach is best and they aren't worth barking at
One sign is not enough. I have three: one for each front window, and one for the front windshield. And it still didn't stop one "Do-Gooder" from castigating me when I returned. When she discovered that it was actually cool inside, she really got angry, because she was made to look the fool. I physically ran her off, so she could search for other guilty culprits.
like literally, this dog has it better in that car then I do when left out, i only get the windows open a lil bit =p {then again i can get out but I'm not really allowed to wander without the leash lol}
I was just in the department store and they had to call from the loudspeaker for the person who left her dog in the car. Leave dogs home.
Completely agree. If you're not going somewhere the dog can come, leave it at home. I would be scared someone would steal one of mine, they're so cute.

Question: do you not need the engine on for the AC to be running? Does it not require your keys to be in the car? In this country it's illegal to have your engine on and car unattended...
Obviously it was attended by loyal and well attended to dog
Load More Replies...I think we can all agree that this reaction of dogs is without a doubt one of the most adorable expressions
When I walk towards the front door and nodd at our boxer, he beats me to the doorway. Don't have to say a word.
Hahaha I don't have to say a thing, my fur boy sees my joggers and starts spinning around with joy.
My dad used to put on the radio for the dogs. That way there was some music, then talking again and then music again
My dogs used to listen to a Christian channel. I think they're converting
We always got the radio going for the dogs. Every time I leave the house I switch the radio channel so that my dogs can listen to some funky tunes while I'm gone.
I leave the radio on for my bunny every time I go out,so that's pretty normal to me 😀
my dogs watch Friends on netflix everyday... they know now when friends comes that we're leaving.
I do this every morning ....lol.....and I like it to be something on the Comedy Channel so they get to hear laughter while I'm out, keeps them smiling <3
It is just the equivalent for the reactions when you come back. Parents after two weeks: "Oh hi, it is you again (meh)." Dog after 2 minutes: "Omg omg you finally returned, are you all right, are you...oh yeah I love that smell...will you stay, where is food, may I jump, omg omg."
More effective for dog would be a goodbye action ritual with a quick treat. Notice that dogs do not talk to each other.
Above would induce the dog to be calm. The chatter described could be excessively exciting to the brain.
Load More Replies...OK I can relate. I have to fight for space to sleep in at night. One night I slept on the blow up mattress and got up the next morning with all 4 of my dogs looking down at me from my bed and I thought "what is wrong with this picture?".
The nice thing about having a shih-tzu is that Charlie never has to sit in the rear. He just sits up front, on someone's lap, usually my left thigh and hangs his head out the window. :D
Maple does the same, except she's a maltese shih-tzu mix.
Load More Replies...My parents used to pick up my dog from my apartment on Fridays and take HIM away for the weekend. When I told my mother "I think I can be home in time to go with you", she said "there's no room for you in the car."
I used to have my dog on the front seat, until one day my aunt had a car crash with her dog on the front seat... The airbag deployed and he didn't survive :( Now I only put my dog on the back seat and he is attached :/
OMG. I also work from home (as a therapist) and I have a dog who sits in on sessions. I am totally doing this!
Oh wow...how did this get many any downvotes? I mean, sometimes I post controversial stuff, and someone I am cheeky, but Bored Panda has a long tradition of also posting about depression (as in the mental illness)...
Load More Replies...Unconditional love... complete innocence... what could lift your spirits more than that?!
Had an interview yesterday and I totally said this. Then I showed her a picture of him. Hope I get it! 17545227_1...74ac67.jpg
I say it all the times when I leave for work....To my doggies of course... I go to work so I can buy you guys the best food!!!
One of my dogs is having her teeth cleaned today and I haven't had my cleaned yet this year. I think you get the point. And her's is much more expensive than mine. OK snap out of it.
Same spelling as me I actually thought you were talking to me then I noticed I didn't know you
Load More Replies...Same for me but for my cats. Easier for you to find your perfect mate tho!
Well, they're normally called trainers, but yeh - he's not going to get himself there is he?
Load More Replies...My dog is a spaniel and I always have a word with her when I watch a police show that uses spaniels to sniff out drugs. She's a cavalier and they usually use springers, but she has the spaniel nose so I know she could do the job. I've always wanted to be a police officer, so would be an ideal job for the both of us (I would be her handler)
I want to be that dog! (Either that, or I will BE the dog IN your photo shoot -- and for only $600 a day! Such a deal ...)
Mom already knows since her question is formed with CAP LETTERS!
My dog will do the exact same thing. I have a picture of it from when my daughter was using my phone.
Introducting the new Crumbs-o-Sucker: you will never need a vacuum cleaner again.
Once I spilled a lot of rice crispy cereal on the floor and it was late so my dog was kinda tired so just pushed her around the kitchen floor with my feet and she'd it all she could reach so I just kept pushing her around like a little floor vacuum
Load More Replies...I always know the names of the dogs, never know the names of the owners
that's bcoz the owners keep calling the dogs, but the dogs never call them back :-D
Load More Replies...My dog is nervous around strangers (both dog and human kind) and hides behind my legs when she's shown attention, so I am in good company as I'm the same (apart from I don't have anybody to hide behind)
That dog is going to be carried around like this when he is grown! I hope you have a strong back *L*
With "talent" like that, I'd like to see her apply to Project Runway. I'd watch THAT season!
Hate when people put sunglasses on their dogs. Can't you see that this way she can't see?
This is how I start a conversation with my classmates. They all know me as " the girl with two dogs who loves all the dogs." I'm not even mad tbh
Since I'm self-employed and have my business at home, I don't have to do that. I have to keep Charlie off of them, or he will simply love them to death. LOL!
But I get you included a picture in your custom envelopes or as the head of invoices...
Load More Replies...Everybody do this with their kids and I'm not even allowed to say " No, it's ok" :) :)
OMGoodness! This sounds just like the way my son talks about his pup, Boomer! ALL THE TIME! (I gotta admit, Boomer is a pretty spectacular pup compared to the other seven we have hanging around here!)
that is the best date you could ever have you can cuddle him all night and dance cheek to cheek
Our cat sniffs our clothes and shoes, smells pets, glares like "Where have you BEEN?"
You have a very smart dog if he can find stuff on the computer ! ( turns around and starts crying )
Probably a little clarifier: I said that dog and man very well understand each other, although we can make little of "woof woof" and they little of "good boy" both in the exakt sense. We learn to interprete each others' body language, though. I am wondering if I write to complicated today or if the haters are on the prowl again...
My mother-in-law's dog perfectly understands the word "cookie". Then again, that's also the most interesting word in het vocabulary...
Load More Replies...I agree with Hans, except that cats are actually social and have their own unspoken language through body movements.
Of course they do. My point is that it might be harder to tell, particularly if you are not a cat-person.
Load More Replies...If we paid attention, we'd realize that dogs communicate a lot through their body language (facial expressions [incl eyes]; body; tail. But I understand Elan; if we could just ask them WHERE it hurts, or if they like their food; or if they know just how much mommy loves them..! (: Wouldn't that be great..!!? <3
I don't speak same language as my cat and dog, doesn't stop me from having long meaningful conversations
We understand much of our cat's body lang & many of her meows, but some are still a mystery. (1 is a pleading call if bug is out of reach.)
My WHOLE FAMILY talks to the cat like she understands us--when we think no other human is around.
This one leaves me confused. It is not so hard to at least understand each other, if you accept that it must not be with orally spoken words. If you compare this to cat, it is another story.
True. But you can't have a CONVERSATION, which is a pleasant activity to do with the ones you love.
Load More Replies...*British accent* Yes, I see, I see. So you say you have depression. Let me help. *cuddles on your lap* Does that help?
Load More Replies...I think is funny. It shows the girl loves what she does for a living
Load More Replies...I'm a pet sitter and after working with one family they had to move due to job transfer. Broke my heart. I cried like a baby. U get attached
I completely concur. I'm attached as if they were mine
Load More Replies...I think I would be heartbroken too if I couldn't puppysit my neighbor's dogs anymore. Yeah, I'd probably do the same thing
One thing to be attached and another to forget your job and your place! Def need to get your own dog.
I want to do this but all the playgrounds in NYC require you be accompanied by a human puppy.... and those are gross.
I tried this once. My dog didn't like it. He was scared... we never walk that direction again. :)
Only if the dog is a puppy or to old to walk very far would I loved to have one of those cars.
That's what my looks like its just so cute when they sleep with their tongue sticking out!
i have six cats and do this for every one of them. cats can sleep up to 20 hours per day
Plottwist: She tells HIM to move to the couch, so she and the dog sleep in the bed.
Or both humans on the couch, on over another, an the dog alone in the bed....
Load More Replies...Another plot twist, large Shepard slips onto the bed ever so quiet (only I know) and lays down in the middle and with force stretches so that man gets tossed on the floor.
OK, I think it's time this girl find another BF! I dont mind a dog sleeping with us, but I refuse to play second fiddle to a dog, as much as I love them! *L*
And then with tears in my eyes they reluctantly have to go back to their homes until the next time I sit for them.
I think this might actually get me back there! I want to get an American Mastiff one day
Is it bad that I chase mine around asking them "why are you naked?!?!"
Collar off means bath time so I wait until I got them in the tub and door closed, then the water comes and the collar off and dropped into the water to get washed also. Collar on when still in tub for last rinse, one big happy dog.
Of course, every time you are going somewhere and you just "can't be late", you see a cute doggy and pet it for at least 20 minutes and then all the worries that you'll be late just go away:D
When I was 14 I was walking my dog and was having a horrid day. So I yelled at her and flicked her lead at her. Trying to get to run away it didn’t work. She stopped about 10 feet away and sat down waiting for me to hurry up. Needless to say I broke down and was sitting on the path crying. My dog trotted back and licked my arm. I felt even worse but she was amazing.
Mad never at dog, angry at myself for not paying attention to stop the action before it started. Darn me.
IM DYING BWAHAHAHA that me snort!! I didn't see that line coming!
Load More Replies...OMG This happened to me. I left the room to check on the girls packing and came back to find my shepeard sitting in the suit case. We were going to take her this time but she wouldn't get out of my case. So I put her food by the door, treats in another suit case by the door and left the case open then her squeaky toy in the case she climb in that case and blocked the door so we couldn't get out with out her. By the way she had a wonderful time camping with us and was a lady when we rented a room for a few days to swim and relax.
Introducting Dog-O-Whipser...the first tool to keep your dog informed while you are at work. Includes Sniff-O-Dispenser to release odors from you for his pleasure.
This is also true for me and Negasonic, my cat. Although I'm pretty sure she doesn't give a f :D
you don't need a device to do that... the dog will feel it when you think of her/him no matter how far away you are. Why do you think they are waiting for you at the door when you come home, you have been thinking of them/home, they can feel that.
My neighbour's dog like to poke her head through a small hole in the gate, and constantly gives me a "I can see into your soul" look
Load More Replies...awwww, the second pic looks like my poor old dog that passed away 4 years ago T_T
Unless the dog works for a living, and smells like cow s**t :)
Load More Replies...at least find a way to secure the dog in the back. I've witnessed a guy with his chowchow in the truck bed, come to a sudden stop while making a left hand turn because the car in front of him abruptly stopped, and the dog got thrown out of the back into oncoming (4 lane) traffic. No need to say more. No bueno. I have 3 dogs and a truck, and I bought a truck cab to put them in. I know I know, not everyone can afford a truck cab...but then again, it's cheaper than surgery for an animal that breaks something falling out of a truck (best case scenario).
oh my, I was so focused on the fashion that I didn't realize the safety factors and just ignored it. thank you Conni Robertson for pointing that out.
Load More Replies...with look like that I think I would take them off , or he/she will chew them off
sigh...dog people....we cat people are quite different...you guys think your dogs are superior, while we cat people know that we are breeding Satan!! *Grins and continues reading the tweets*
ok ok I have both and both cats and dog rule the house my bed the fridge and cupboard
This is literally the first time I've had pleasant thoughts of this person.
Next time bring along as your date and watch that know one takes you date from you. LOL
who want's to be a human, humans start wars and problems, dogs solves problems. BE A DOG
That's productive... right? If not, I need to change a few *cough* things in my schedule....
equal trade, must bring dog to pet dogs... i don't know why but i think that's weird to go to a dog park when you don't have a dog to try to pet other people's dogs... just me? You guys stay, i'll go... Also i think it's weird when the entire family of 8 comes with their one dog... especially when they just keep the dog near them and dont let'em wonder.... i apparently have issues... i'll definitely go now.
aaah! whenever it happens to me, I tell them "I'm sorry" like a dozen times and even explain them what happen, that it was an accident, that I am not angry with them, that I hope they didn't get hurt, and so on... like they would understand what I'm saying.
I do the same and I think they do understand my tone at least. They never run from me and the tail is always wagging like "yeah i know you'd never hurt me. I love you too"
Load More Replies...Accidentally slapped my dog. He smells and checks my hand left n right, up and down, just to make sure that i didn't hurt my hand in that freak accident. **Big tears rolls down**
I would probably accept, Ashley! After four husbands, I have decided that dogs will love you more!
Ours will sit around the table....very politely, and wait until we are done and then they get their share....from a fork (or spoon...depending on what the meal was) They are well behaved and eat neatly also!
Do it all the time, husband can't believe that there are no left overs when he saw what I had cooked.
Hover your mouse over the photo, the description shows up.
Load More Replies...Title: "Refusing to get out of the car.... After 2 Hours + she finally did!!! Stubborn mule <3" (If you hover your mouse over the photo this is the title that shows up)
Your dog is in the the back of the car, might wanna "retriever". *knee slap*
