It's always nice to feel wanted, but lately it seems like you've been getting a little more attention than usual. Hate to break it to you, but no one can be that likable except for a pupper: this sudden influx of popularity is probably because your dog...is freakin' adorable.
Here are 9 signs that people are just using you for your dog.
