10. You're on the same page about almost everything.
9. PDA is natural and expected.
8. Adventure means being together.
7. You both have the same taste in music.

Two beers before lunch? Fido isn't counting.
You look at each other knowingly when a friend asks if you want to kick it in the park and play some disc golf. The two of you also assume the friend will sit in the backseat on the way there.
No uncomfortable hugs between you two. Whether it's lazy naps together on the couch, or completely casual face licks — it's all about the love.
Your family rolls their eyes when you ask if the hotel for the family vacation is "pet friendly." You never consider going on a cruise because your dog gets seasick. And forget about flying an airline that doesn't allow your best pal in the cabin.
Or at least that's what you tell yourself when you don't hear any complaints from the pooch in the passenger seat. He knows you're still heartsick about Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore splitting up. He doesn't judge.
And you're both fully aware you only jog when people are around. The rest of the time you're fighting the temptation to go lay under that tree.
You both know what's goin' on. When your girlfriend scoffs at your new faux fur jacket, you don't get mad. You just shoot a glance to your four-legged confidant that says, no one understands us like we do.
Not everyone wants to see what you look like in the morning, but who wouldn't want to see what you plus your BFFF (Best. Fur. Friend. Forever.) look like rolling out of bed.
And when to curl up with you on the futon when you tell it for the third time to just. continue. playing. That's real friendship.
Even if it's because your S.O. made you, and then you conveniently look to your down hound to get you out of it. "Doesn't look like The Dude likes trainspotting all that much; damn, well we'll wait for ya down at the dog park/wine bar."
After all, your dog's not your best friend by default. Your dog's your best friend because he's the most together, on point, and caring person you know. And you're the only one he's got.
