J.K. Rowling is a proud dog mom and wants everyone to know it

Brontë is patronus goals.

J.K. Rowling isn't just a famous author or human rights advocate. She's also a dog mom.

Yesterday, in between tweeting gems of wisdom and battling writer's block, Rowling shared a proud dog mom moment with her Twitter followers.

Rowling was responding to a WeRateDogs tweet that rated her adorable West Highland terrier, Brontë. The pup scored an impressive 13/10.

When a fan asked the author about Brontë's name, Rowling responded with the enthusiasm of a mother talking about her child.

She responded:

Whether named after a long-necked dinosaur or an English novelist, the story behind Brontë's name is sweet.

Rowling has tweeted pictures pictures of her and Brontë, often while she's writing.

It's great to know that Rowling has such a faithful writing partner to keep her on track and motivated.
