We view it as sad for both the dog and the person when we see them being treated as some weird form of a human.  |
I don't have a dog. We have two cats as pets.
I think when humans are kind to their pets it is a good thing. Many are lonely for companionship and their pets fill that need. To most of us they mean more than working dogs meant to farmers. I agree that we need to remember that our pets, our kids, are loved by us and others don't have the privilege of the bond we share. Most of us should remember NOT to inconvenience others with our kids or pets and try to teach them to behave in such a way that others enjoy them.
I don't trust anyone who doesn't like dogs or cats. That is just me.
