Yeah, I can see how that's annoying. You should probably talk to him about that. As for a possible reason why he doesn't get mad at the dog, is because it's a dog. There are a lot of people who are of the mind that getting mad at an animal gets you nothing, because "animals don't know better", and in some ways they don't. As for why he loves the dog more, I don't know. Has he had the dog longer than you? If so, that could easily be part of it. Plus some people just bond with animals. It can be a really strong attachment.
I want you to know, however, that this is not me defending him. Just firing off theories as to attempt explaining his behavior . No matter what, you need to talk to him about it. No ultimatums, mind you. That's just going to end badly. I think you need to approach this situation with sincerity, and concern. Tell him how you feel about the whole thing. Tell him why it hurts. Talk this out. Maybe ask for his thoughts on the matter. Whatever you do, talk to him about it.
I hope this helped.

plant dogsh*t every day or night on his bed, or maybe the shower (get creative here). You will soon be winning against the dog when you see his reaction.
It's a dog, chill out.
Do not displace your anger on the dog, are you really jealous of a "stupid little teacup thing with fluffy hair?"
how long have you two been together? It could be its too soon for him to say I Love You. I am guessing the dog was around before you were.
And dog is man's best friend.
How long has he been your boyfriend for?
If he's had that dog since it was born and you're a recent girlfriend, you're crazy to say all this stuff and to be jealous of a dog in general is pathetic. Dogs are like children.. if you want him to get mad at the dog, what do you expect him to do? Mistreat it? It's stupid.
It's his baby, what do you expect? Of course he's going to baby and adore it. If anything you should be happy that he can be so devoted to something.
Who knows, maybe one day he'll treat you or possibly your future children with the same level of affection.

I'm assuming his dog was there with him before you came along... wouldn't it make sense since his dog earned his love and demands nothing in return, he gives his dog special attention?
I'll admit that I'm pretty biased since I'm a dog person. It really sounds like you guys are on a different page in the relationship. If your not happy, it might be best to just move on. He won't choose you over his dog if you can't accept him and love his dog as well. Sorry :/Unfortuantely a lot ofeople ca't deal with fellow humans and have this sort of relationship with their pets. More oftne it's women with these small inbred breeds, but you see guys behainvg this way too.
He must have had some sort of trauma, maybe years ago, that turned him off to people.
You will have to aggressively insist he make youmore of a priority. I'm sure he wants to, but maybe just doesn't know how.If you're feeling second to a DOG in your relationship, time to move on, sweets.
LOL Love the passive-aggressive description of the dog. Five stars.The dog loves him unconditionally.
The dog isn't stupidly jealous over the other things in his life.
The dog doesn't demand he only love one thing in his life.Well, you know what they say, dog is mans best friend
Talk it out. If he's had the dog longer than he's been dating you, its not uncommon. If it really bothers you, maybe its time to walk away.
Awww I love teacup dogs. I love dogs in general <3 Sorry..
how bout you tell him how you feel first..? Tell him it's really annoying!Sorry but this made made crack up. You gotta fight the dog, only way.
