If You're A Dog Owner You've Probably Done One Of These 35 Weird Things To Your Dog Without Even Realizing It
Dogs are the actual man’s best friend, and anyone who keeps a dog as a pet cherishes and adores them so much that they do and of course, say some hilariously weird things to their beloved pets subconsciously.
We can all agree that dogs are probably the coolest animals to have in your home. They are such happy and delightful creatures that you can't just help but laugh when you are around them — their happiness is absolutely contagious!
Goodness, when a dog is wagging its tail, and its whole body is moving from side to side, how can you not just smile and feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
But as much as we love our dogs and think that they are the best creatures in the world, there are some things that we do with them (or to them) that might be considered a little bit hilarious and weird.
For example, have you ever found yourself talking to your dog in a high-pitched voice even though you know that they can't understand what you're saying? Or maybe you've made kissy noises at them like they're a human baby.
Some dog owners even dress their dogs in baby outfits and keep them in a stroller. Admit it; we've all done a few odd things with our dogs at some point or another!
There's no shame in it, of course, because dogs are just so darn cute that it's impossible to resist. And in all honesty, they probably enjoy hearing the high-pitched voice and being treated like a baby just as much as we enjoy doing it!
But this is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, there are quite a few things that we do that might make someone raise an eyebrow or two if they knew about it.
Don't believe me? Just take a look at this list of 35 weird things that every dog owner has done without realizing it.
