This story was inspired by our Black Labrador, Brandy. We lost her the summer of 2023, she was almost sixteen.
Our Humans
There are a lot of humans that have yet to be adopted by a pet into a for ever home.
There is something about how a human reacts when it is adopted by a dog, they become very excited.
Humans will be so happy to be adopted that they will gladly share their shoes with their dogs. Your humans pay a great deal of attention to their clothing. They like to display their style choices. We need to share in these interests. From time to time we should help show off their fashion pieces by bringing them out as well. Baskets are a great source for these articles and items that are not usually exposed are a fantastic choice. You will alway get the best reaction when your humans have friends over to play.
Humans require regular exercise, daily walks are a good way to assist them with this. A leash will be required for this activity so that your human does not get separated from you and get lost. Be sure to make eye contact with your human often to let them know you are proud of them and confirm they know where they are going, it’s a good idea to mark your path regularly just in case.
The park is anther good place to take your human for exercise. Here your human can disconnect from the leash and have some freedom to roam around. Be aware that if you raise your voice with another dog or have any kind of interaction that might get your human worked up, it may require the need to put them back on the leash.
Humans enjoy having us near by while they cook their meals, the closer the better. It is also important to be available to sample their meals. Making eye contact, placing your head on their lap or making squeaking noises from your throat are all good ways of letting your human know that you are there for them and available to help them with their meals.
In the case of Human reproduction, they need our encouragement and support in this area. Dogs should take the responsibility to teach our humans, when possible. This can be done with questioning glances while they work through their reproductive techniques. They tend to spend a lot of time trying to figure it out and on the occasion that they achieve the proper canine position, it is important that as dogs, we are there for our humans to give them an affirmative look.
Humans mark their territory differently then we do, they only mark one small area and always the same spot. You would think that this would leave the surrounding areas free to be marked but that would be wrong. Humans, even though they haven’t marked these areas, get quite possessive of them.
Communication with your human will be a challenge. They have difficulty learning our language, they usually only pick up a few commands and they get mixed in with a lot of gibberish. Blah blah blah walk, Blah blah blah treat, who’s a good-boy, who’s a good-boy.
Humans live for a long time but when we think of them in dog years they are quite young. A human that is forty-nine in human years is only seven in dog years.
Know that your human will most likely out live you. It will be difficult to let our humans go as we pass on. Our job is to teach our humans our unconditional love, be confident in your training and some day with luck, your human will once again be adopted by a loving dog.

Reading this makes me miss our sweet dog who passed away several years ago. I often wondered if she was thinking these very things!
They are our pets and they are our family. They are more aware then we know.
Awww I loved this! It’s a great switch in perspectives that reveals important truths about humans.
This is adorable! Is such a great take on pet adoption! Thank you for this! I’m going to go hug my dog now!
This post made me smile. 🙂 I am a dog lover and I love this as seen from the dog’s eyes! 😀
Love that this post was written from a dog’s point of view. We don’t have any pets but when we’re ready for one, we are definitely going to adopt from our local shelter.
So sweet. I definitely think that our dogs think we’re psychos with too many demands. And they don’t always tend to follow them and then get upset when we’re upset. But a life without an animal is no life at all.
Our humans was a really interesting. I love the idea of it being him the dogs perspective.
I love dogs!
omg the cute baby 🙁
I’m not a pet lover but I’m not a hater either, so I can’t relate too much of this love for dog stuff. Btw, I love the idea in this thought.
What a brilliant post! I enjoyed every word of it. It was very refreshing to read something from the dog’s point of view.
A kind of eye-opening post, I must also say that it is. an interesting way to share the idea of pet adoption!
What an interesting read. At first, I didn’t get it but now I do.
I always trust dogs first then humans, they are soo sensible which i really dont find in humans.
What a lovely story. I ahve adopted 3 dogs and it makes me really happy and made my life complete.
Awww, What a wonderful way to introduce us of how happy to adopt a pet. I want it too!
This cracked me up. The pet side of the story. I know having a lot changes one’s mindset. My brother is am example. He is more responsible since he got a cute dog.
I like the prespective here. and I agree pets do adopt people in their life too, as well as totally feel like our home is actually their home
Super cute post. This post is making me want to get a dog.
What a sweet post. I’m going to share it with my dog so that he will understand me better. LOL!
LOL!!! Such a cute post! I love it!! Good way to get attention to an important issue!
Oh I loved this post! So cute – and I am so looking forward to being adopted by a cute little doggy soon <3
Yeah funny! So unique story telling. I like it. And having a dog really is a treasure. I miss mine.
I love the way you wrote this – pretty funny 🙂
Wow, such an interesting way to share the idea of pet adoption! I really like it, especially I would still prefer to adopt the dog rather than the human 😁
