5 Things You Know If You're A Dog Person
Erika Horton

These days, everything under the sun seems to have a dedicated day of the year... pancakes, ice cream, siblings, cats, and my favorite - dogs! "National Dog Day" was Friday, August 26, and all of my social media filled with people posting pictures of their dogs and expressing how much they loved them. (My news feed had a parade of fluffy dog pictures, and it was great.)

However, someone also posted the occasional cat picture because someone always has to be that person. (Cats have a day, too, so let us dog people do our thing!)

I could just fill this article with pictures of fuzzy, cuddly, balls of love, but I guess I will also write a little something... so here are 5 things you know if you're a dog person.

1. You probably love all animals, but dogs will always be your number 1.

Seriously, what could be better than this tiny puppy playing with a tiny pumpkin? Nothing. The answer is absolutely nothing.

(Be still my heart.)

2. Adoption days are your kryptonite.

Imagine being out buying dog food for the other 72 dogs you already have, and then Petco has an adoption event going on.

(Could you resist taking this guy home? I mean, look at that face!)

3. You change the channel every time those Sarah McLachlan/ASPCA commercials are on TV.


Ruins your whole day and probably makes you cry real tears. Those poor puppies!

4. You feel dirty every time you pet a cat.

Cats are cute, and sometimes, you can't help but give them a good scratch behind the ears, but you always feel like you're betraying man's best friend.

(Make sure to wash off the cat stench before you get home. Fido will be upset with you if you don't.)

5. Every time you see a dog in public, you want to be its best friend.

Seriously, let me love you!

True friendship is incredibly rare, and to find a friend that will be there for you through all of life's curveballs is something quite unique.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
