I asked some of my Bark & Co. co-workers what was the strangest piece of advice they got before getting their dog. The results are in, and people are weird.
1. “Don’t step on her.”
“Watch it!”
2. “Count his toes.”
“How do I count? … And what’s a toes?”
3. “Make sure you don’t raise her to be racist.”
“….pawkward.”
4. “Don’t get a dog! You’ll have no social life.”
“Let’s pawty!”
5. “Give them milk instead of water – more vitamins.”
“Are you puggin’ kidding me?”
6. “Knee her in the chest if she’s bad, so she knows who is boss.”
“Say what mutherpupper!?”
7. “Don’t let them get on the furniture with you or they’ll think they’re your equal.”
“I am a supreme being. I shall not kiss a lesser being.”
8. “Don’t give him/her a nickname or they’ll always be confused.”
“Who am I?”
9. “You can’t get a dog if you already have a cat – they’ll kill eachother!”
“You have magic paws, Frances.”
10. “Don’t get him fixed.”
“Shut it down! Losing my balls can be good for me, yo!”

11. “Don’t get a pit mix. They have lock jaw.”
“I was dreaming about smooching you.”
12. “Don’t get a rescue! They’re loose cannons!”
“Boom!”
