"Dog cults" refer to groups or communities that form around a shared passion for dogs, often elevating their love for these animals to a near-religious level. Members may engage in rituals, celebrations, or gatherings that honor their dogs, emphasizing the bond between humans and canines. These groups can vary in size and structure, from informal meetups to more organized clubs. Some dog cults may focus on specific breeds, promoting their unique traits and characteristics. Activities can include training sessions, dog shows, and social events, fostering a sense of belonging among members. While the term "cult" may carry negative connotations, many of these communities simply celebrate their love for dogs and the joy they bring to people's lives.
