My dog allows me to call him a pet as long as I:
- feed him.
- throw the toy both inside the house and, for a better workout, in the back yard.
- give him a scratch behind the ears.
- let him outside to do his business.

He is allowing you to use a pet name for him. Sounds like you are well trained, too.
