I didnt have to love it. My dog did...and DID HE EVER! From the moment I unpacked from the box and gave it to him, he laid down on it and REFUSED to get off. I needed to move the bed to lay down an area rug and couldnt get him off this bed for anything! He made me drag the bed, with him on it, out of the way. This bed is a HUGE HIT with my dog and is plenty big enough for him to really stretch out on comfortably without hanging off the sides. Thanks for a great product! Ill absolutely be buying more for other rooms in the house in the future!
