If you know, you know—when it comes to loving your dog, 4 times a day is the bare minimum. That means four cuddle sessions, four “who’s a good boy?!” speeches, four random dances in the kitchen while they wag their tail like a maniac. Anything less? Not acceptable.
For this dog dad, loving his pup isn’t just part of the routine—it is the routine. Every morning starts with belly rubs and sleepy head scratches. Even before the coffee brews, the dog gets a full-on greeting like he’s been missed for days. Midday check-ins? Absolutely essential. Whether it’s a quick game of fetch, a little treat for being handsome, or just a heartfelt conversation in baby voice, the love flows constantly.
By the afternoon, it’s time for more affection and another round of “I love you, buddy” affirmations. Walks aren’t just walks—they’re bonding adventures, with sniff breaks, silly pep talks, and even spontaneous sidewalk selfies. Come evening, the fourth love session (though let’s be honest, it’s probably the 10th by then) happens as the pup curls up on the couch, head resting gently on his human’s lap, eyes full of trust and joy.
It’s no wonder the text above the photo says: “If you don’t treat/talk to your 🐶 like this, then we can’t be friends.” Because that kind of love, that connection—it’s a lifestyle. It’s knowing your dog isn’t just a pet; they’re family. They deserve every ounce of affection, every goofy voice, and every silly dance break you can offer.
So yes, 4 times a day is the minimum. But if you’re doing it right, you’ll lose count. Because dogs don’t ask for much—just your love, your voice, and your time. And if you’re like this guy? You happily give it all.
