Danielle Fishel has a lurker in her house.

According to the new mom, every time she tries to take a photo ofher three-month-old son Adler, her dog insists on being the star of the shot.

“Brunch is used to being the only member of the family, and Brunch thinks that all pictures involve Brunch, should be of Brunch, about Brunch, so I would say that at least seventy precent of my pictures of my son, Brunch is somewhere weaseling his way into the picture,” Fishel told PEOPLE on the red carpet pf the 2019American Humane Hero Dog Awardsin Beverly Hills, Calif.

“We also have a cat, Bill, and Brunch thinks that it is his job to police them. I don’t know why he thinks that Bill is his responsibility, but when Bill claws the furniture, which he knows we don’t like, or jumps up on a table, which Brunch also knows we don’t like, he runs in and barks until Bill jumps down,” theBoy Meets Worldalum said. “Then Brunch looks at us like, ‘You’re welcome.’ ”

According to Fishel, Brunch just wants his family to know he is “strong and handsome,” a statement his owners readily agree with.

Not just a fan of her own dog, Fishel made sure to attend the American Humane Hero Dog Awards in order to get even more puppy play time in.

“Dogs on a red carpet is one of my favorite sights to see! Every time I see a dog on a red carpet I am thrilled. I have had rescue dogs my entire life,’ she said.
