dog loyalty

Pet's unwavering devotion

Dog loyalty refers to the devoted, unwavering faithfulness associated with dogs toward their owners.

The phrase typically appears when describing this quality as an ideal or stereotype: He showed dog loyalty to the company that hired him.

It can carry slight condescension, implying blind allegiance without critical thought—following someone regardless of whether they deserve it.
