But let’s talk about real stuff though
Being a dog owner isn’t easy, especially in Pakistan. You could say some of it is a bit ‘Ruff’.

Parents will probably try to stop you from keeping your dog in doors because “rehmat kay farishtay ghar mein naheen ayein gay”Source: Buzzfeed
They want the dog to stay away from them because “kapray paleet ho jayein gay”

Or if you live in an apartment, the neighbors complain about your dog barking
Even when your little fellow rarely barks and makes the least amount of noise in the building.

A lack of dog parks means dodging cars on the road is a game you play
Which gets annoying when you have to keep making sure your little buddy isn’t eating shit lying on the road, nevermind the people that stare at you for walking a dog.

For some reason, people think it’s good sport to bark at your dog
If only they realized how annoying it is or how idiotic it makes them look. Gadhay
Unfortunately if your dog goes missing, there’s always a fear that someone might try to dognap him/her
And God forbid if it does happen, most people don’t give the issue much importance. To make it worse, there’s no governing body to deal with these issues.
Your clothes always have dog hair on them
So sometimes it seems as if you don’t clean your clothes and people give you judgmental looks. Also, it’s not just your clothes. It’s everywhere in your house which is why your ammi might start yelling as soon as your little guy gets on top of the sofa or your bed.

No matter how much you try to stop them, they’ll jump on your bed as if it were their own

Watching TV and eating a snack isn’t as laid back of an experience as you’d think
Anytime you sit down to watch TV with food in your hand, your little companion shows up, expecting you to feed him/her rather than yourself.

Sometimes he/she just wants to jump on you.
Just not in the most convenient of ways…

Just when you start thinking you can leave your dog by itself inside the house, terror strikes.
Goodbye socks, sofa, shoes or anything else your dog thought was worth chewing.
So as a result, maybe you make your dog spend time outside instead. But then it rains.

And when you try to give him/her a bath, all of a sudden they hate water

Finding a good vet or emergency services is a HUGE problem
Thankfully there are groups such as Pet Talk where people are always ready to help you out with some advise.

Lack of knowledge about spraying/neutering
Let’s try to reduce the number of stray dogs in Pakistan so government agencies don’t kill them. Besides, you don’t want your little guy to be humping every female dog he sees…

Availability of dog food
Or lack there of. Which is why you better get better at making your own organic homemade dog food.

But regardless of all the struggles, your little companion adds a lot to your life and you love them for it.

Give your furry buddy a big fuzzy, hairy hug because you know you love him.
