The first thing I do at any party is look for the dog. They make me happy and comfortable and I’m always looking for an excuse not to have to talk to actual humans.
The fact is there’s nothing like the pure, unconditional love of dogs. They’re always excited to see us and they go out of their way to cheer us up when we feel down. If it were up to them, they’d follow us everywhere.
And luckily the funny people of Twitter are just as obsessed with dogs as we are. Because there are two kinds of people: Dog people and people who are wrong.
It's so weird how people who don't like dogs are always shitheads.

We would do anything for our dogs:
he's scared of the fireworks so my mom put on some dog videos for him ❤️ pic.twitter.com/VTjYa6YIcK

Seriously anything:
dog:
me: i would die for you— emily angelica (@existentiaIly) September 1, 2016
Sometimes we even treat them as if they were our own kids:
Guys my mom just tucked my dog in for his afternoon nap and I am dying pic.twitter.com/0b3zGHR1u2

We occasionally put on the TV for them so they won’t get bored:
Hi, I spend 3 minutes every day choosing a TV channel to leave on for my dog, then I go to work and people take me seriously as an adult.

We take all their needs very seriously:
There's a mattress store that gives you a mattress for your dog when you buy a normal one. pic.twitter.com/4aOzmSGoGp

And yes, sometimes we dress them up:
Bad news: I accidentally washed a nice wool shirt that I really loved and it shrunk a LOT

…and take photoshoots:

We can even get a little weird and competitive about it:
Sorry I wasn't listening when you were talking about your dog. I was busy looking in my phone for a picture of my superior dog.
— Mike Primavera (@primawesome) January 25, 2015
Some of us love them a little too much:

But our dogs always know they’re adored:

OK, they are straight-up spoiled:

We genuinely enjoy hanging out with them:
"We'd be rich if you just said one fucking word"
– me, drunk, talking to my dog
— Josh (@iwearaonesie) November 5, 2015
And we’d take them everywhere if we could:
This guy got on the bus and just stared at me and Lulabelle on my lap for a solid 30 seconds then goes “are you allowed to have dogs on the bus” and I just shrugged thinking he was gonna give me shit or something but then he pulls out a chihuahua out of nowhere

Dogs can complicate things when it comes to dating:
I know it's only our second date, Susan, and maybe I'm moving too fast, but I'd like to buy your dog.
— Jason (@longwall26) December 13, 2014
As well as long-term romantic relationships:
In 34 years I've said I love you to two women and every dog I've ever seen.
— Matt Monroe (@heymonroe) April 1, 2016
We even like other people’s dogs:
*backflips out of bushes*
can I pet your dog— Mary Charlene (@IamEnidColeslaw) March 18, 2015
Especially when we’re avoiding people:

And occasionally we’ll even make contact with strangers for the sake of meeting a new dog:
My life is a constant battle of wanting to pet a dog and not wanting to talk to its owner.
— Lindsay (@Rollinintheseat) January 23, 2016
And we legit worry about dogs without their humans:
[me when I see a dog walking alone without a leash] exactly who is representing you my lad
— damage simpson (@hellohappy_time) November 4, 2017
Because at the end of the day, dogs want our love as much as we want to give it:
did…did he make the sign? pic.twitter.com/XXmuHfTIoA

Let’s face it, dogs are more enjoyable to hang out with than people. They’re so loving and sweet and they don’t care that your life is a mess.
Unlike asshole cats, that sit around silently judging everyone.
