So for a bit of context, i have a very strong attachment and connection to my dad's dog, who i strongly consider as mine. I feel like im very possessive of him because i often find that i dont want him loving anyone else as much as me. like its supposed to be me and him until the end.

ill give a few examples. when he walks away from me or goes to sit with someone else i almost spiral in a way because it feels like he doesnt love me as much anymore. and that hes loving me less with each and every day that passes. another example was yesterday. we were at my dads with my two sisters and my one sister's boyfriend. i was talking to him about how i really only feel relaxed and in zen mode when the dog is sitting with me or on me, as he sleeps and i pet him and see how relaxed he feels. he told me he felt the same way when the dog sits with him and one part of me was like "oh im glad you feel that way." but another part inside my head was just like "uh-UH, HELLLLL no, hes **mine**. you have 2 dogs at your house to feel that way with, go get some zen from them and leave mine alone"

to explain where the emotional connection comes from, we got him as a puppy at 4 weeks old from my dads friend whos dog had puppies. i held him in my arms the entire car ride back home and couldnt help but instantly fall in love with him. i knew we would be very close and we definitely are. im still the one he tends to sit with the most and fall asleep on. another thing is, he came at a time when i had no one. i had no friends and i was pretty much emotionally neglected and abused alot growing up (parents had a nasty divorce and me, being the youngest of course, i was neglected and never learned to make boundaries for myself. always guilt tripped and gaslit by other people, including my mom, when i couldnt please them. ive always been a people pleaser too which makes it worse)

this dog is the only one who has truly been there for me when i needed him. i was in my early teens when we got him but was sheltered alot growing up and also developmentally delayed (i think). and now my dad and his family, along with the dog, are leaving the country in 2 weeks and im scared shitless to lose him. im scared of him dying enough, despite the fact hes still fairly young (just turned 6 not too long ago). my dad is coming back after about a month but were not sure when everyone else is. this amplifies my fear of him dying even more because he could very well die when hes there for all i know. im also robbed of more time with him and im also scared because i wanna take him in as my own at some point and wont be able to live with myself if he dies without me doing so.

i could cry right now but im trying to hold it back ahah. so anyway, given these circumstances, can animals be considered fp's?
