A dog is more than just your pet. A dog can be your best friend, your right hand man, and even your lifelong soulmate. A dog is always there for you, from when you wake up in the morning until you go to bed at night. No matter what you do or say, at the end of the day your dog still loves you and doesn't put any judgement on you. Therefore, it is only appropriate for your dog to miss you unconditionally anytime the two of you have to be separated. This is even more true for when you go off to college. Below are some thoughts your dog has while you're gone to college.

1. "Your car is starting to overfill with your dorm stuff. There's still enough room for me to ride shotgun right?"

2. "I don't know why you're squeezing me so tight. Are you going somewhere?"

3. "You're coming right back aren't you?"

"I'll just stand right here and wait for you."

4. "What am I supposed to do while you're gone?

"Well I have my toys to keep me company."

5. "Is she ever going to come back?"

6. "I bet she's forgot about me."

7. "Does she even miss me?"

8. "All I can think about is her playing with other puppies."

9. "If my human ever comes back for me, I'll make sure she never leaves me again."

For those of you who are gone away to college, don't forget about your dog at home. Mine never leaves my mind. Just remember that you are your dogs whole world, even though they are only a part of yours. Go home and visit them every now and then.
