Dad loves dogsitting so much he calls himself 'gramps'
It is a truth universally acknowledged that dogs are not just pets. They're a core part of the family.
That's why this excellent father treated his daughter's dog like a grandchild when she was away over the holidays.
Meghan Specksgoor tweeted screenshots of her dad's text updates about Chance the dog's wellbeing. And he was quite the model dogsitter.
Dear everyone: this is how to absolutely crush it at dogsitting.
In the texts, Specksgoor's father referred to himself as the dog's "grandpa," which is really rather sweet.
Chance's grandpa even took him for a picnic and a trip to the nail salon. Such a good doggo!
Chance and his grandpa were having so much fun, they told Specksgoor they needed to hang out more often.
Chance is one helluva happy doggo after being dog-sat by his gramps.
Chance is the luckiest dog in the world!
