We had two dogs. Both of them were strays. We got one of them around the time I was born. As a result, we think that she thought that I was her puppy. When we went outside, she would always make sure that she could see me. We might be wrong but we think that she was trying to make sure I did not become lost. Since I was small at the time it seems possible that she thought I was a puppy. She might just have realised I was small and young so she thought she should take care of me rather than believing I was literally a puppy. We got our other dog when I was rather older. I am not sure what she thought I was but she probably thought of me as a playmate rather than anything else. To her, my father was the "food source". Since I rarely provided her with food, she probably thought I was there to warm the bed for her sometimes and generally to keep her entertained. We did have another dog but he died when I was about four years old so I really do not know what he thought of me (if anything).
