WHAT KIND OF DOG OWNER ARE YOU?*

(* COME ON, NOW — BE HONEST!)

1. When playing fetch with two or more dogs, do you cheat in favor of your own by signaling (a slight nod of the head; a subtle hand signal) in which direction you’ll be throwing?
2. When another twosome (human/dog) approaches for a meet-and-greet, and the human asks,

   

   “Is your dog friendly, do you reply a.) “Yes!” — and just hope for the best; b.) “Sure — about 90% of the time,” hedging your bets with this disclaimer (i.e., if this doesn’t work out, it’s on you); or c.) “I’m not so sure that would be a great idea” (in other words, keep moving!)

3. When a dog owner looks at your dog and says, “Oh my God, your dog is beautiful!” do you simply thank him/her, or add, “Yours is really cute too!” — even if, to your eye, it looks more like a rodent than a dog.

4. 

   Have you ever “fake-cleaned-up” after your dog?  You know, maybe bent down with an opened-up plastic bag in your hand, and then picked up. . .  nothing?  Maybe when it was raining hard?  Or was very dark out?  Or you didn’t want to take off your gloves?  Or you were just pretty sure no one was looking??

5. And while we’re on the subject: Does your dog habitually — or does it ever — eat its own poop?  Come on now, no one’s judging you!  Forgive us, though, if we prefer not to have our face licked by your dog.
