Mother's Day is right around the corner, and if the special woman in your life considers her dog her child (or her co-pilot, confidant, and cuddle buddy) then a standard bouquet and brunch reservation might not quite cut it.

Whether you're planning an experience, looking for the perfect present, or a little of both, here are some of our favorite ideas for the dog lovers in your life.
