Dog people are a class in themselves and can spot one another a mile away. It’s pretty blatant to some, such as, “Please pass the meat to a dedicated dog lover” with a drooling four-legged canine directly under their chair.  But there are many uh … more … uh… subtle ways for the average person to tell if someone is a dog person.  Check them out!

• The windows of the passenger side of the family’s vehicle are always covered with nose and paw prints.

• A dog lover can always be outsmarted by the dog into giving up his chair to the dog.

• Dog lovers purchase a large enough food bowl for their dog not only eat, but to sit or so their child can use it also!

• Life is simple—dog lovers like people who like their dog; they despise people who do not. Period.

• A dog lover is the only idiot out in the middle of a snow or rain storm because their dog needs its daily walk.

• Dog lovers keep an extra water dish in their second-floor bedroom in case their dog gets thirsty during the night.

• Dog lovers keep a small bowl of food in their second-floor bedroom in case their dog gets hungry during the night for a “snack”.

• A dog lover never completely finishes a piece of meat on their plate, so their dog can have a taste.

• Dog lovers typically will ask for a doggie bag at the restaurant to share it with the dog at home.

• A zig-zag path is strenuously shoveled during a winter snow storm so the family dog can get to all their favorite places.

• A dog lover puts off vacuuming the house as long as possible for two reasons: the dog is either afraid of the vacuum or it thinks its a favorite chew toy.

• A dog lover makes popcorn in order to play catch with their dog. Buying popcorn by the case is always advised for a dog lover, especially for an expert dog at ‘popcorn catching.

• Dog pictures in the wallet carry more weight that that of the dog lover’s  parents, siblings, a significant other, or any two-legged human.

• A dog lover has their dog as the main character of their website or book.

• A dog lover allows their dog to kiss them, ever after eating poopee in the back yard a short time earlier.

• Dog biscuits are carried at all times in the pocket of a dog lover.

• Dog lovers converse about their dogs as if it was their child, continuously to everyone within earshot.

• Greeting cards of all types are signed with the dog’s name added as a member of the family.

• An extra blanket or pillow is always placed on the bed or chair to make the dog more comfortable.

• A night out is not preferable to a dog lover as compared to staying at home with the dog and watching television.

• When a purse is opened, several poopee bags pop out for those occasional walks with the dog while in the middle of the shopping mart.

• A Saturday visit to the Pet Supply Store is always on the list for “Must Do” because it is one of the few places that allows a dog inside, and they always love to go there.

• When a dog lover and their dog comes down with the flu, the dog goes to a veterinarian and the dog lover settles for an over-the-counter medication at cost.

• When a dog lover’s dog becomes arthritic, lumber is purchased to build a step for them to get onto the bed more easily. Meanwhile, the dog lover can hardly lift the hammer due to arthritis in their wrist.

• A dog lover does not feel stupid standing out in the yard stating firmly, “Come on, Jo Jo, let’s pee!” while the dog is wandering around looking for something to play with. This leaves only the dog lover to pee in the yard.

• Dog lovers do not find it offensive to have nobody’s picture but their dog on their desk.

• Dog lovers skip breakfast to walk their dog before leaving for work or school.

• Many dog lovers willingly skip happy-hours after work to go home and see their dog.

• Dog lovers invited their dog to their wedding and reception.

• A dog lover will continue eating even after finding a dog hair on their plate.
