    17 Signs You Didn’t Grow Up With A Dog

    :/

    Your parents always promised to get you a dog when you got older but that just never happened. Everyone grew up with dogs but you :(

    Every time you go to your friend’s place to see their dog everyone pets it. You do too, but it’s different :/

    Someone jokes about how non dog owners pet differently. You realize that’s you.

    You tell someone how you saw a really cute dog and they’re like what breed was it. And you’re like I don’t know. How do people just know dog breeds!

    Being near a dog always feels like a first date.

    That dog is barking at me because it doesn’t like me. No dog likes me :(

    By chance somebody lets you walk a dog. You forgot dogs can’t walk in the street….

    You give a lot of inanimate objects pet names.

    Maybe just buy a beta fish and see what happens.

    Even though you’ve never owned one, you know that no animal will love you the way a dog will.

    That commercial about animal cruelty with Sarah Mclachlan is even sadder because YOU would love ALL of those dogs.

    Getting a cat just isn’t the same.

    Putting leftover food in a doggy bag isn’t the same either. You know you’ll just eat it.

    If you drop food on the floor, you have to just clean it up. No one eats it for you.

    You don’t really understand the mechanics of a pooper scooper but you know it’s worth it for your furry friend.

    When you step in dog poop it’s only a reminder of what you could have had.

    You come to the realization that dogs are a huge responsibility, which is probably why your parents wouldn’t let you get one.

    But some day, you will and you’ll have the best breed of friend.
