I just adopted a dog that was breeding stock in a puppy mill. She bonded to me right away but has major separation anxiety. Even if I'm gone for 5 minutes, she goes nuts when I get back and acts like I've been gone for months.

- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I was freaking about to cry at first haha. Well done. ๐
Right?! I was like "OH no. I haven't even finished my coffee yet. I am NOT ready to start my day this way!" ๐คฃ
That made me think of That Garfield comic
That the Futurama episode.
When my wife comes home from work, I tell her that the dogs are glad she is back from being gone forever again because she's gone forever and is never coming back every day.
The dogs know she's been gone forever because they counted. My pupper does the same ๐ญ
Aww I think that's what you get when your object permanence is kind of tenuous.
Nothing quite as heartwarming as a dog who's SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AAAA after you've been gone for 30min โ "aww I missed you too you goober"
When you forget your wallet and come back after being gone 2 minutes.
Replace "master", which is creepy and subservient, with "friend".
I agree that it is creepy and subservient... but it is also entirely accurate. The dog is a pet. It is entirely reliant on the owner, and it is only allowed to do what the owner lets it do. It eats when the owner tells it to. It goes outside only when the owner says so. It probably even had its genitals removed at the request of the owner.
So yeah, 'master' is an appropriate word here.
I find it a bit uncomfortable too, which is why I don't have a pet. But from what I can tell, dogs are generally fine with this arrangement. Most dogs seem to like it this way.
Will do, master.
