I swear malls aren’t even malls anymore — they’re dog parks with air-conditioning. You can’t walk 5 steps without tripping over a leash or watching someone carry a dog around like it’s a human infant. Today I literally saw TWO girls strolling through the mall: one dog walking, the other being held like a designer handbag. And guess what? Nobody blinked. Because apparently this is “normal” now.
People don’t love their dogs anymore — they’re obsessed with the attention that comes with owning one. They dress them up, push them in strollers, hand-feed them treats, parade them around luxury stores like they’re royalty. It’s not for the dogs. It’s for the ego. It’s another personality trait. “Look at my dog, please validate my existence.”
And the funniest part? There are rules for EVERYTHING — no food, no drinks, no bikes — but dogs? Bring the whole pack. Let them bark, shed, p*e, whatever. And if anyone looks even slightly annoyed, suddenly you’re the bad guy. Everyone jumps in to defend the dog like it’s a sacred religious figure. “They’re family!!” Yeah, cool. And? It’s still an animal in the middle of a shopping mall.
We’ve reached a point where dogs get treated better than human beings. People will scream at you for looking at their dog wrong but walk right past a homeless person like they’re invisible. But sure — tell me more about how you’re a “dog mom” and “your baby deserves the world.”
It used to be called having a pet. Now it’s a full-time identity. Birthday parties, outfits, photo shoots, Instagram profiles… like the world is supposed to clap every time you force your dog into another outfit it hates.
Love your dog, fine. But if you can’t leave it at home for TWO HOURS without your personality collapsing, that isn’t love… that’s obsession. And it’s embarrassing how normalized it’s become.
