I have a confession: I’m 100% convinced that my dog understands me better than most people. Like, the other day I was having a meltdown over my failed bread baking attempt, and all he did was sit there, looking at me like, “Chill, human, I eat whatever you put in front of me.” Meanwhile, my friends keep texting me asking why I haven’t been social lately, and I’m just like... can they bring treats?...
