Animal lovers tend to treat their pets as important members of the family. We share our homes, our meals, and our lives with our pets, and we go to great lengths to ensure their pleasure and well-being.

There is no doubt that pets give us company, joy, and affection. Only humans are able to form such strong bonds with members of other species and include them in their families.

We give cats and dogs human names, purchase toys and other gifts for them, deck them out for special occasions, speak to them as though they were people, and weep when they pass away. 

This is the kind of relationship the OP's boyfriend has with his dog. OP's boyfriend has been with her for almost two years, but there was an issue - his female dog has always been a little jealous of her being around.

She would usually try to get between them or beg him for pets if he was showing her affection. The OP has tried to win the dog over, but to no avail.

The OP told his boyfriend about his dog biting her, and he sided with the dog, saying the OP is still a stranger and she does not show the dog enough love to be liked. In fact, he told the OP that the dog would always win over her, and this got her worried.

The headline

The dog usually tries to get between the OP and her boyfriend

She growls at the OP if she walks into his room and she’s already there

OP thinks valuing an animal above one's partner in this situation feels wrong

And the comments roll in...

Go fetch a better breed of boyfriend

The dog may be dangerous

The exit stage should be used

He might have treated other women the same way

There's a right way to handle this

He is a terrible dog owner

The dog will always win above you

Another word of warning for the OP

He's not doing anything to teach her

His pup should keep him warm

This dog is not trained

He's not doing anything to socialize her

This is very absurd of the OP's boyfriend

This is an affirmation that it's the handler's fault

He said the OP's not as important as the dog

The OP needs to find someone who cares about her

Important people take priority over dogs

Do not stay in that relationship

Some redditors say that OP's boyfriend is not a bad dog owner because his dog shows aggression toward people that make her uncomfortable. Rather he's a bad dog owner because he doesn’t see an issue with it and won’t address it.

He won’t even assist the dog or his girlfriend in creating a more harmonious and comfortable relationship which is a big problem. Drop your thoughts about this story in the comments below.
