That's only cheating for humans. Dogs, as Duchess points out, are not humans. Pet marriage is seen as kind of weird, there's a few super-domesticated animals that have internalized human norms but it's not natural for them.

Peanut had no problem with consensual open relationships and he's probably the most human-like-prudish animal in the strip.

Duchess might or might not get mad at Bino, she mostly seems concerned about whether he's embarrass her: her relationship with Bino is possessive and controlling rather than romantic. Her main objection to random making out seems to be puppies.

And you're missing my main point, which was that *once she knows what the deal with King is* she'll be able to deal with it. Right now she doesn't know that he practically IS a little human in a dog suit.

They are they're own beings with their own ways of doing things which for the most part seems to coincide with human customs because they are raised by humans. We don't have enough evidence to even make a call for what is natural animal behavior for the pets or otherwise from the limited pool of characters we've seen. Peanut being woke and Duchess being you-know is just character traits but neither really give us any insight to the complex philosophies that the animals possess as a whole. The fact that different animals have different views on what a relationship is or should be makes them even more human.

Sasha must be getting mixed signals from King, seeing as he's sans-collar and, therefore, nude in front of Sasha ;)

That would certainly give me mixed messages if I was in her position so I don't blame her anymore for being confused.

She broke in on him having a shower.

They do but I am just assuming that King forgot to lock the door because he didn't think that anybody was still awake at the hour he was showering at.

Looks like my poem somehow didn't make it up on the site for this one... oh well.
--
Oh, great, Sasha's about to cry,
Which means that King's going to have to try
To go ahead and calm her down
And from her muzzle erase that frown.
Yes, oh definitely yes, King's going to have some fun
With this, and quickly be long on the run
From Sasha, lest he soon find out
That making out would remove all doubt
That he still loves her, that's for sure
And for proof a blush lights under his fur.
You're a wonderful person! You can do this! Yes, you, person reading this!
