New Doggo Dad Wonders Why His Pup Prefers His Wife, Takes To Interwebs To Investigate

Hey, pals. Just like humans, every doggo has preferences. They don't necessarily have to make sense, as human preferences often don't, but they exist nonetheless. Today we are featuring a Reddit thread in which the original poster is a fresh new doggo dad, having had the doggo for about 6 months, he's noticed that the pooch strongly prefers his wife to him in choice of who to spend time with, who to request pets and love from, etc. 

Now, this could be for any number of reasons, but he lets us in on a few more details that may offer some explanation for why this doggo is showing signs of preference for his dog mom as opposed to his dog dad. Dad works from home and is the primary caregiver of the little pooch, whereas mom works mostly from the office and occasionally even travels for work. Some commenters noted that fact and proposed that perhaps the doggo cares more for his mom since he simply sees her less, and distance makes the heart grow fonder. Let's read the comments together, shall we?
