It’s not hard to love your dog, especially when they’re so cute and fluffy and amazing. While people may not want to watch all the videos you have of them on your phone, you can’t help but be obsessed. Here’s a list of 13 things that happen when you’re obsessed with your dog.

1. You take selfies with them. And position them so you both have good angles.

2. You have an instant connection to other people who love dogs.
