Among us living things, most particularly among humans and animals also, relationships abound. Relationships may not be of the sexual type, or of the platonic type, but also of the "simple friendship" type. They are usually human to another human, but may also be human to animal (a pet). How to establish a meaningful relationship between you and a pet dog depends entirely on you because you are more superior than it, in fact, you belong to the most superior "living being" category. A pet dog is a human being's best friend, so they say, but I believe that such depends entirely on how you treat them and deal with them on a daily basis.
1. First, you must seek its loyalty not only by feeding it delicious food, but also by talking to it, and by showing love, kindness, care, trust, affection, and the like, towards it. Of course, dogs cannot talk so there is no clear way to know if your seeking its loyalty is effective, but there are nonverbal signals; a happy, loyal dog wags its tails and barks "lovingly" whenever you are around. Or "snuggles" at you and rubs its back on your legs.
2. Second, show it the wonders, big and small, of the world by taking it out for walks in the park. Pets need exercise and fresh air, just like us human beings. Also, they will not feel "cramped" and restless at home if these walks are done often. Bonding time with you is extended during these walks.
3. Take good care of it like it is a part of your family. Many dog owners treat their pets like human beings, especially if they do not have children of their own. This should be the way, because if showered with love and care, the tendency is that your dog will return those favors to you. They have feelings, too.
4. Make it "socialize" with other dogs. A well-treated pet is one that is lovable, friendly, loyal, and obedient. If dogs can really communicate with each other as many of us believe, one dog may tell another dog, "Tell me who your human master is, and I will tell you who you are." It is you, as a human being, that makes a dog's life meaningful.
