<p>Is caring for a pet dog an EC that would look ok- if you spent 10~ hours a week? Or would adcoms laugh at this lol?</p>
<p>I would think it's a chore. You wouldn't put laundry or cleaning your room as an EC, would you?</p>
<p>Depends on whose dog it is. Perhaps if the dog belonged to some organization it would be worth mentioning.</p>
<p>I would put laundry or cleaning, haha (kidding.. sort of). To the OP, if you invest a lot of time in caring for the pet (and it seems like you do), then I would consider it. It would help if the dog wasn't your own, belonged to some organization (like citizens for humane action or something).</p>
