My family hates my dog

So this is a rant more than anything but I just need to vent. I currently live with my mom and step-dad, but will be moving out with in the next month or two. I am by no means a free loader, I pay rent, buy my own food and help out aroind the house. The problem is they hate my dog and i mean truly hate my dog. They don't like that he won't do what their dogs do. He won't come inside and just lay down and not move. He wants attention, and love. He wants to play with them and the other dogs, which gets them up moving around. This is their biggest issue with him but there are other minor things. He is an extremely high energy dog who loves to get loved on. He gets daily exercise which helps but by the end of the day he is ready to play. My mom constantly complains about him and im constantly having to defend him. It just hurts because he is like my kid. We go everywhere together(something else my family hates), I didn't get a dog so he could just exist on the outskirts of my life. I got a dog to be my buddy, to hike and swim with. They just don't understand this, dogs are things to them. Im just so ready to move out of there. Thank you to everyone who reads this.

Ps how could you hate this face!
