For most of us, the idea of approaching someone you haven’t met before doesn’t come naturally. But have you noticed how much easier it is to bond with a stranger once you learn they're a dog lover like you?
To help you sniff out and befriend fellow dog fans, we've put together the top 10 signs someone is as canine crazy as you are...

Sorry, I forgot your name — but hello to Fido!
2. When they enjoy pointing out dogs as they pass by on the street
Usually accompanied by an exclamation of "dog!" or "good boy incoming"
