We love our dogs — they're our protectors, best friends, or even fur babies. But have you ever wondered...

“What does my dog see when they look at me?"

While it's impossible to know exactly what your dog thinks of you, try to imagine yourself from your dog's perspective.

This creative thinking exercise can help you boost your self-compassion.

Did you know?

The advice in this Byte isn't intended to represent scientific facts. It's a mental exercise to help you deal with negative thoughts about yourself.

Why Does It Matter?

A woman's dog sits on the couch with her as she reads. The dog says, "My human is so smart! She eats books for breakfast."

Our dogs see the best in us.

That's why asking the question, "What does my dog see in me?" can help you:

  • Be less self-critical

  • See yourself more positively

So, let's look at more ways our dogs see us!

100% Successful

A dalmation hugs its owner. The text reads: "There, there, it's okay."

Even though you may feellike a failure, your dog thinks you're ambitious and super successful! 

Didn’t score that pay raise or ace that test?

You can always count on your furry friend to cheer you on as you keep striving for your goals.  

Lovable And Kissable

A large dog on its hind legs kissing its owner's head.

Your dog will never stop showing you affection.

We all feel unattractive from time to time — maybe you've gained a few pounds or had a bad acne breakout.

None of that matters because to your dog, you'reirresistible!

Did you know?

Dogs’ vision is similar to someone with red-green colorblindness, so the world looks more grayish-brown to them — but that won't affect how much your dog loves you!

Gourmet Chef

A dog sits at a table to be fed a luxury meal. The text reads: "Ah, fine dining!"

To them, you’re a topchef!

We can’t all be master chefs in the kitchen.

But thankfully, you don’t have to be one to feed your hungry pup if you're always serving up the most delicious food around!

Superhero

A man enters dangerous flood waters to rescue a dog.

You are fearless, willing to save your beloved pooch from any situation!

You may think, "Everyone else seems to be super talented and special, why not me?"

But you are special — in fact, your dog thinks you’re their very own superhero!
