Why is Milky Way included in the local group?

The "Local Group" refers to a group of nearby galaxies, that are gravitationally bound (much like a galaxy itself, a star cluster, or a solar system). This local group includes our own galaxy - the Milky Way - as well as several galaxies in a diameter of about 10 million light-years. The Milky Way is included because it is inside this group, and gravitationally bound by it.
