Wife becomes “third wheel” after husband falls in love with dog she rescued
Between her husband and grandma, poor Sophia doesn't stand a chance. 🐶🥰
Ever felt like you’re the third wheel in the family?
You can give it a pass for a bit if you’re a friend or a roommate.
But if you’re the partner and you suddenly find yourself as the spare, that’s kind of off-putting, isn’t it?
Sophie became a spare with Swanson.
What if your rival is an adorable spotted and amazingly gentle pitbull?
How can you deal with the “heartbreak?”
Sophia is a self-professed “spare parent.”
Swanson, the pitbull she adopted, has taken a liking to her husband.
They snuggle together on the couch, would always play tug-of-war, and he’s just overly excited about whatever his dad is doing.
Meanwhile, Sophia said that Swanson likes him only because he’s feeding him.
Not being picked as the favorite is painful enough, but a dog with unconditional love?
That’s twice the sting.
Especially when it’s Sophia who rescued Swanson.
While in college, Sophia and her roommates decided to get a dog.
There was one time that their shared home was broken into and the girls were traumatized by the event.
They wanted to feel safe and secure and they found that safety in a dog that “doesn’t really care” about them.
Sophia found Swanson in a shelter.
When Sophia came to the shelter, one of the staff members introduced her to Swanson, who was just 10-shelter-days-old at that time.
When Sophia saw Swanson, she felt like the dog was much more interested and focused on the tube of cream cheese that his handler uses to keep him in line.
Swanson was the dog for her.
After college, her husband decided that they should keep him.
As she and her friends went their separate ways, Sophia and her husband went back to Oregon.
Sophia doesn’t know much about Swanson. but with the dog’s amazing house manners, she felt like he was owned by someone at some point in his life.
Swanson got closer to her husband.
Sophia seems to think it’s because he’d take him on long walks, and do silly things together.
As for Sophia, she said to GeoBeats that she had to initiate the cuddles if she wants Swanson’s attention.
Despite the push and pull, Sophia loves Swanson very much.
Sophia believes Swanson changed her relationship.
She said that Swanson helped her more than she helped him.
While they gave Swanson a forever home, Sophia said that Swanson strengthened their relationship as a couple because of this mutual responsibility.
Furthermore, she said that Swanson took care of them emotionally and mentally.
Sometimes, her husband would work long hours and she would come home tired from post-graduate studies.

“I think everyone should have a dog because they just make your life better,” Sophia said in an interview with GeoBeats.
And if that’s not gospel truth, we don’t know what is.
Meanwhile, as she campaigns for Swanson’s undying affection, she has another hurdle to overcome.
Her mom took a liking to Swanson
And it seems that the feeling is mutual.
While she isn’t his “favorite,” we all know that Swanson loves them equally and it was with their love that Swanson became confident to show affection.
