Every family is tempermental- half temper and half mental. We've all sung the iconic lyrics of "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge on the dance floor of a party, arms wrapped around our siblings, cousins, aunts, feelin' the love. We also all know the reality of that love fading all too quickly as you accidentally step on your sister's toes, pissing her off, just as the next verse starts.

Family dynamics, man. Whether it's your weird Aunt Sue trying to kiss you on the lips during a family reunion, or your mom screaming your name in a crowded department store because she lost sight of you FOR A SPLIT SECOND, we've all been there and all done that. The universal relatability of family memes are unparalleled, and to be completely honest, no one shows this better than animals. Weird family dynamics stretch across ALL walks of life.

Sister home v public

When it comes to siblings (even of the dog type) two-faced has a whole new definition. One minute you are joking around thinking things are all rainbows and butterflies, and the next you have pissed them off to another dimension.

Dad didn't want the dog

It's a tale as old as darn time. Dad says he doesn't want the dog, and five minutes later they are the best of friends. Like to the point that you basically don't matter anymore. First born son means nothing anymore.
