Okay, we’ve said it before and we are proud to say it again, loud and proud: we’re obsessed with our dogs. In the best way possible of course! What is not to love about about dogs? They think the world is awesome, treat you like you’re the most important human in existence, and are never hesitate to run in for a big hug. And to thank them for making our lives oh so very much better, we tend to spoil our dogs. Really, we’ve seen it all. From people who have tiny campers made for their dog, to this couple who dedicated a whole photo shoot to announce their new adoption. While we might laugh at these examples for being ridiculous, you have to admit you’ve been there. There have been times late at night when you’re surfing the web that you’ve contemplated buying a dog-sized Snuggie to match your own … yes, we’ve considered it too.

But at the heart of all the crazy toys and outfits, is our true and undying love for our dogs. Because, our dogs are so much more than hairy roommates, they’re family. So in honor of all you Green Monsters who treat your dogs like more than just extended family, but, as if they were in fact your own child, here’s to these 15 hilarious humans and their dog “children.”
