You’ll recognize a puppy person by a certain faraway look in their eyes…is it love? Amazement? Mere exhaustion and sleeplessness? If they’re raising a puppy, it’s probably a combination of all of the above.
While dog people, in general, have an awful lot in common, there are certain truths that only someone who’s raised a puppy is familiar with. From the yuck factor (the way they walk through their own poop) to the awww factor (the way they squeak in their dreams), we’ve compiled 14 things only someone with a puppy can understand.

And frankly, it’s often hilarious when they do.
