10 Signs You're a Dog Person (And Proud of It)

Some people are cat people. Some are plant people. And then there are dog people. The ones who light up when they see a stranger walking a golden retriever across the street. The ones whose camera roll is 98% dog photos. The ones who have a favourite park bench at the dog park.

If you are reading this, you probably already know. But just in case you need confirmation, here are 10 undeniable signs that you are, without question, a dog person.

1. Your Dog Has a Better Wardrobe Than You

Your pup has a rain jacket, a winter coat, booties, and a bandana collection that rivals your accessories drawer. Meanwhile, you have been wearing the same hoodie for three days straight. No judgement here.

2. You Talk to Your Dog Like They Understand English

"Do you want to go to the park? Should we take the long route today? What do you think about getting a puppuccino?" And honestly? They do understand. You are convinced of it.

3. You Plan Your Life Around Your Dog

Vacation destinations are chosen based on pet-friendliness. Dinner plans depend on whether there is a patio. Your morning alarm is set by your dog's bladder schedule. And you would not have it any other way.

4. Every Dog You See Is the Best Dog You Have Ever Seen

Poodle at the coffee shop? Best dog ever. Three-legged rescue at the park? Best dog EVER. Random mutt running across the beach? Quite literally the best dog you have ever seen in your entire life.

5. Your Phone Autocorrects "Good" to "Good Boy"

You have typed "good boy" and "good girl" so many times that your phone now suggests it automatically. Your text messages to colleagues have gotten interesting.

6. You Have Opinions About Dog Food

Strong ones. You have read the ingredient labels, compared protein percentages, and have thoughts about grain-free versus grain-inclusive. You may or may not have a spreadsheet.

7. Your Social Media Feed Is All Dogs

You follow more dog accounts than human accounts. Your explore page is exclusively puppies. You have cried at more than one dog reunion video this week. This is completely normal.

8. You Judge People Based on How They Treat Dogs

Someone who does not like dogs? Immediate red flag. Someone who stops to pet every dog they see? Instant best friend material. It is a perfectly valid character assessment tool.

9. The Phrase "Who Wants a Treat?" Makes You Happy Too

Because watching your dog's ears perk up and their tail go crazy is genuinely one of the best things in the world. Pure, unfiltered joy. We should all be more like dogs.

10. You Wear Your Dog Obsession With Pride

Literally. Your hoodie says it, your t-shirt says it, and your entire vibe screams "I am a dog person and I am not even a little bit sorry about it."
