You may like to pretend you make the rules in your house, but the truth is it's a dog's world and you're just living it.
All signs point to the fact that while you pay the bills, your dog is living her best life. If you're not convinced, read the 21 red flags listed below. Sorry to be the one to tell you that you're existing under a dictatorship, but you had to find out some time.

1. There is a dog bed or blanket in almost every room.
2. Your personal home scent is a mix of Febreze and wet dog.
4. Your antique rug doubles as your dog's favorite chew toy.

14. When you have people over, someone is bound to trip over a squeak toy.
15. Your bed has two sides: You and your significant other's side and the pooch's side.
