This is cute, but as a non-dog person, all I can think about are the swarms of bacteria that are coating that person's hand every time the dog licks it.

can you contract misophonia from reading text on a website?

I'm not sure but I think a test showed that dog's mouths have less bacteria than peoples. Much less then cat's mouths anyways as people have lost fingers and hands from relatively minor cat bites due to the amount of bacteria they harbor.

I also like the videos where Maya does dances with her ears, like this one, or this one, or this one. Some of these were originally posted on Maya's account on TikTok, where the population skews much younger. So, a bonus piece of fun for me is to see the kids (and I can't be 100% sure but I'm pretty sure they're literal children) arguing in the comments on TikTok about whether Maya is moving her ears on her own or if someone's behind her moving them for her.

Eew no.
I don't believe in ASMR and I'm skeptical about misphonia but I think I just changed my mind about the latter.

Okay, well, I still know which species I'm trying to make out with.

I do not have / get ASMR, but I respect that Maya is an extremely well-trained and well-cared for pet. There was a video of her doing her basic skills, as it were -- come, chase, throw ball but don't chase, etc.

I follow a lot of pet accounts on Instagram, and they all seem like an immense amount of work to keep up.

I still can't believe we live in an era where a video of a delightful doggo eating a carrot has garnered 118k views.
