But here we are. And yes, Mere dog ne mujhe relationship mein bohot dhoka diya hai.

Mere Dog Ne Mujhe Dhoka Diya: How My Labrador Became My Competition in the Dating Game

By the end of the date, Rohan had bought Tommy a gourmet chicken sausage (which cost more than my coffee), was rubbing his belly, and whispering, “Who’s a good boy? You are.”

The next few weeks were weird. Rohan would text me, “Hey, how are you?” but before I could reply, he’d send a second text: “Send a pic of Tommy.” Just Tommy. Not me. Just the dog.

I was invisible. Mere dog ne mujhe ignore karwa diya.

Mere dog ne mujhe relationship sikha diya—ki main hamesha doosre number pe rahungi.

If you had told me a year ago that my biggest relationship hurdle wouldn’t be my overbearing mother or my habit of ghosting people, but my four-legged, tail-wagging Labrador named Tommy , I would have laughed in your face.
