Dog lovers know that their pet isn't just a furry friend―they're family. The Drummonds certainly understand that! Their collection of basset hounds, labs, and mutts bring such joy and are woven into everyday life. And even though they adore Ree, it's her husband, Ladd, who gets the attention at the end of the day. "All the ranch dogs swarm him. All their tails are wagging and they just lick him and kiss him and sniff him and like paw at him and try to get him to play," she explains. "This is a daily thing!"

If you have a dog dad like Ladd in your life, you know just how special his relationship is with his pup. And whether you are searching for a birthday gift for him, one of the best Father's Day gifts, or a gift for your husband just because, getting gifts for a dog dad is such a pawsome idea. He'll love these ideas almost as much as man's best friend loves him! You can go super sentimental and speak right to his heart, where that doggo takes up so much space already. Think: a custom portrait showing their mutual bond. Or make him howl with a hilarious T-shirt.

There are cozy gifts like socks and practical finds like a travel tote and grooming gloves. Whatever you decide to get, he'll appreciate the thought you put into it, and it even might have him wondering...who's his best friend now? 😂
