I treat my dog Joey more than a best friend. He is like a family member. He has the run of the house, he eats regular meals like all of us, we pamper him, talk to him and put up with his moods, scream at him sometimes for being naughty etc... Do share with us about what your dog means to you

We have 2 dogs that are our kids. We buy them toys and treats. They love to go to the park during the weekend. They have their own couch to sit on. We named the youngest Riley when we got him, because we knew he was going to "Live the life of Riley".

We have 3. we have 2 akitas and a dashound who thinks he is an akita. They are family. And definetly our best friends. Cosmo the dashound is closest to me since I had him before my husband and I married and Kuma is closest to my husband as he had him before we married and we got daisy our other akita after we had our second baby and she thinks our kids are her kids. They sleep in our bed luckily we have a cali king and they eat too much human food and get to use the furniture and we treat them just like we do the rest of the family. We call them our kids with fur.

I would definitely consider my dog to be my best friend, and more. She's very much like family. I've had her since she was 4 weeks old and she means so much to me. She's always there when I need her and when I'm feeling sad she'll come and cuddle up with me. She sleeps on my bed, eats scraps off my plate and goes for rides with me. She's always there to accompany me on my walks and never flakes out on me.
