Your Instagram/Facebook/etc. indicates you have no human friends

Just because you’d rather take 50 photos of your dog dressed up in a sweater, or a squirrel on the street hoarding nuts, or sheep doing sheep things, doesn’t mean that you don’t have human friends. It just means they don’t photograph as well.

You’ve lost hours, even days, of your life watching cute animal videos on YouTube

The downward spiral of the viral video is a dangerous thing, and you can enter into the black hole, only to resurface six-to-eight hours later with no concept of how much time has passed. But rewatching the “Sneezing Panda” video 56 times was totally worth it, so a day well spent.

Reaction to a puppy on the street: “Aw!” Reaction to a baby on the street: “Ugh.”

You are totally down with the pups, but most definitely not with the kids. Furry is cute, sticky and whiny is not. Plus, one will give you undying love and affection for their whole lives, while the other will sap your energy and resources, and tell you that they hate you for most of their teen years.

The Puppy Bowl will always be more important than the Super Bowl

Even if you’re not an American football fan, you’ve probably heard of the Super Bowl. But only true animal lovers know about the Puppy Bowl that airs directly beforehand. It’s basically just the cutest animals in all of New York City playing on a fake football field. It is superior in every way, including the kitten halftime show (sorry, Beyoncé).

You judge people by the way your dog reacts to them

If your dog doesn’t trust somebody, neither do you. They are the best barometer for human goodness there is, and you’ve got no time for somebody they bark and growl at. Chances are that person would try to steal your wallet one day anyway.
