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!

I already limit contact as much as possible. When im at work he is in my room, well he's supposed to be. He is a very fun dog to own and pretty much everything they find irritating I love about him. They just want a dog that goes outside all day then when they get home they want them to lay down and not move. Rocky just won't do that he has to much energy in him and it's not something I make them do. It's kind of funny because you can tell when my parents are not home because the dogs are so much more relaxed and actually play.
They are all over the trails in my area! I really want to get a pic of him in the ones that are all different colors. Now that i can get him to sit and focus on me, last month this pic would not of been possible! Lol
I have talked to both my mom and stepdad. My mom was easy after hearing how much it hurt me. My stepdad on the other is a different story. His attitude is my house I do what I want. He is so bad that he smoke's inside even though I am allergic to cigarette smoke. He just doesn't care and he also thinks that rocky's problem is that he wants to be the "alpha dog". Anytime I say something about why he does whay he does it's always, "your only 25 what do you know" and "I was raised on a farm so I know animals". He also has trouble listening to me because I am not a male. When he is home me and Rocky don't really spend a lot of time at home and when we are home we stay in my room or I keep Rocky on my lap. This is why I am so ready to get out of this house!
