We don't deserve dogs

[bigC]

This is the screenshot of a video about a man and his dog, the man is a good dog owner and the dog is a good dog.

The video maker wrote “We don’t deserve dogs”, what was he intending to express?

It's a way of saying that dogs are such wonderful creatures that humans (who are mostly not so wonderful) probably don't deserve to be allowed to have anything to do with them. Do you understand the general meaning of the verb "deserve"?

Your explanation is clear, I understand what the video maker is intending to say.

I know the meanings of "deserve" which are available on internet.

Thanks.

Dogs are often more loyal than people. They are loyal and affectionate, and we don't do anything to deserve it.
