Simple way to tell if your dog views you as 'family' (Image: Getty) Many people consider their dogs as part of the family but do our furry friends reciprocate these feelings? According to an expert, it all hinges on how you nurture your pets. The key is to involve them in household activities and ensure they feel loved and secure. Lisa Larson, an animal communicator, shared on Quora that if "you treat him in a maternal fashion, mother him, care for him, give him the feeling of being safe, and do all those 'motherly' things we do as pet parents" then your pet will perceive you as its parent.
She further stated: "I would say most animals have that relationship, some have a sibling relationship, some are best friends, some are even business partners, but dogs definitely feel they are part of a 'family', if their family gives them that type of love and treats them that way, which is absolutely delightful to know." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
