Staff’s Favorite Question This Month
“Why does my dog follow me into the bathroom?”
Excellent question. Slightly uncomfortable question. But excellent.
Dogs are social animals who naturally like being near their people — even during moments you would personally prefer privacy. Some dogs also learn that following you everywhere increases the odds of:
Snacks falling
Walks happening
Attention being given
Absolutely nothing interesting happening… but they’re committed anyway!
In your dog’s mind, you are a highly unpredictable creature who occasionally opens cheese wrappers. Monitoring your location at all times simply feels responsible.
Meanwhile, cats usually follow people into bathrooms for one of two reasons:
They suddenly require attention immediately.
The closed door has offended them personally.
Pets may not understand personal space, but they are experts at making sure you never experience loneliness again.
