Every dog owner think that their dogs are the best dogs - and they're right! We have one million and one reasons why we're proud of our doggos, and we're sure that every other doggo pawrent does as well. The second most wholesome thing in the world (other than a doggo's unconditional love) is hearing loving dog owners talk about their fur babies, so we did some digging and found a whole dog house of proud pupper pawrents sharing heartwarming testimonials of why they're proud of their four-legged friends!

From doggos saving their owners from dangerous situations to listening to their owners under very distracting circumstances, these super doggos are the cream of the crop and deserve all the treats in the world! Scroll down for some wholesome doggos and how they made their owners happy, which is, in the end, all they really want to do!

    We feel this one - our pupper makes us proud just by being the good girl that she is! She sleeps like an angel, comes to us when we call her, makes us smile, and loves to play. Her existence is a blessing, and we're so thankful for her.

    splower 17 days ago He saved me from potentially some bad business a few months ago. Came across a man standing completely still on a secluded hiking trail. He was facing away from me, so I figured maybe he was bird watching. As I approached he didn't turn his head or move at all, which seemed kind of weird. All of a sudden my Doberman, who's normally a mellow, friendly, dinky boy, started growling and barking at this stranger when we were about 30ft away. I quickly pivoted and walked away. He's

    Dogs have a great sixth sense for danger. Maybe it's something they can smell in the air, or maybe it's some sort of animal instinct, but whatever it is, we trust our doggos when it comes to their judgment of other people.

    OpeningImportant9202 17 days ago My dog to me is better than most humans. Without her my life wouldn't quite be the same. The unconditional love dogs give remind me how much better I can try to be

    BodyBy711 17 days ago The way he was so gentle the first time he met a baby. He was very interested in the tiny human but very polite and respectful of it, and I had been a little apprehensive about a friend visiting with her infant. He did so good!

    LoveAtFirst Dumpling 17 days ago We go on walks every morning and yesterday Zeke saw an older man walking on the other side of the sidewalk. He immediately walked to the right side to the grass to give him more space. He just waited for him to pass and then looked back at him and went back on the sidewalk. We always move to the grass when there is another person and I just thought it was so nice he did that on his own. The old man even was like wow what a respectful doggo! Yes yes sir he is

    LaVieLaMort 16 days ago I got my dog Bean after my dad died in a tragic way (he unalived himself with a) and Bean was in the house when this happened. He still has some issues with behavior but the way he is so happy to be playing with real dog toys and have his own hidey hole makes me happy. Poor guy has been thru the wringer for his 10 years on this earth.

    turtletails OP. 17 days ago I'm proud of my dog for so many things. I'm proud of how confident she's become since we adopted her, I'm proud of how smart she is, I'm proud that even though she's an excited cyclone with teeth around other people, she really is trying her best to be a good girl, I'm proud that at night when she's in her crate she knows that if she whines I'll get up and check on her but if she doesn't actually need me she'll just quietly play with her toys for a bit and go back to

    Ok-Banana-7777 17 days ago This happened a few years ago, but while we were out hiking my dalmatian actually caught a squirrel. I got it away from him before he could do any damage. Maybe it's wrong but I was proud of him in that moment. Every dog's dream and he did it! Told him he could cross that off the bucket list.

    ThatCryptidBi 17 days ago . I'm proud of my new rescue dog (we've had her just over 9 weeks) and she went from barely knowing sit, to knowing sit, lay down, wait, stay (sitting AND laying down), touch and almost spin. In the last few weeks. She also was terrified to walk outside and she's getting more and more confident!

    girl_from_aus 17 days ago She let me cut her nails tonight! This is the first time we tried to do it in a cooperative care way, not a "one holds her and distracts her and one grabs her foot and tries their best" way. We've been working on her letting me hold her paw and having the nail trimmers near her and tonight I tried to actually cut the nails. She did so well! Not perfect at all but overall I'm so happy with how she did

    LadyAlexTheDeviant 17 days ago That he and his sister ignore human food. He can be curled up against me while I'm eating dinner and totally ignore the food a foot away. But he knows that if it's on a white plate/in a white bowl, he's not going to get any, and doesn't bother trying. Large red pasta bowls, roasting pans and cutting boards, on the other hand.... Sergeant does like to do KP!

    And they both know what "bedtime" means (Humans will go upstairs and dogs to their crates) and what "crate up" means. I can give a "crate up!" command and in two minutes everyone's securely crated and I can let in the service person.

    SukebanBish 17 days ago A couple weeks ago the neighbour's horses came up to our fence line (they're usually never in that paddock, probably escaped from where they're usually kept). All three dogs gave chase, but mine stopped in his tracks the second my dad told them all to stop. (Brother's dogs did not lol).

    There have been many incidents like this over the years. He seems to have far more self control than your average dog. Or maybe it's just that his prey drive isn't so high that it overrides his brain completely. Either way I'm quite proud of him.

    Individual_Sky9999 17 days ago She has come so far with her reactivity. She can handle other dogs reacting to her and not reciprocate it. She learned to trust me almost blindly even though she did not grow up with me.

    abbeighleigh 17 days ago I had to move in with family temporarily and bring my puppy. I was really worried about her being bad but she won over everyone in my family's heart, even my stubborn sibling's. They all said they'll miss her so much when she leaves. I'm so lucky to have such a sweetheart as my companion

    SoftApricot 17 days ago I'm proud of my teenager for still having the attitude of a puppy. I'm proud of my little one for her self control today. We went for a walk to visit our sheep. She is allowed off leash in their paddock. The neighbouring paddocks have horses and horses are her arch nemesis. She ran to the fence to look at them, didn't bark, and came back to me. She did this about 6 times, just quietly seeing what they were doing. Very proud.
