Is it normal for my dog to be my best friend?

You always hear that a dog is a man's best friend. My dog follows me around always and loves me to death. I have never found anyone that wants to be around me every minute and is so forgiving. My wife is jealous. She is my best friend really but the dog is pretty great too.

    Seems normal, as long as it's not a friends with benefits situation.

    Dogs are nobody's "best friend," they do what they need to do to get fed and cared for. I read somewhere else on this site where someone said if you want to test the love of a dog, have a neighbor start feeding it steak instead of the dog food you're feeding it and see how fast it becomes the neighbor's "best friend."

    My dog is my best friend. I cant imagine life without him. It is the warmest most pure friendship you can ever have. Remember to spay and neuter your pets. "dont breed or buy while shelter animals die. 7 million U.S last year healthy, and all kinds of dogs and cats alike.

    xoxoo just cause your animal lovers!!!!

    When i went to college I moved 7 hours away, and i adopted an Aussie, and she's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
    I can't imagine life without her, shes been through college with me and I love her to death. She literally feels like my kid.

    I'm glad you can befriend an animal. I have a Standard Poodle that I can't stand to be away from.

    My neighbors dog is my best friend! I just love him to death and I don't have time for a pet but when he comes to see me every morning he just brightens my day. The neighbors don't even acknowledge him. We need more affectionate dog owners like you.:)

    Just because you're two completely different species, doesn't mean you can't be realistic best friends.. Think about it. If an alien came to earth from outerspace and they were friendly, couldn't they also be a friend? Right.
