I could go on, but think I've made my point.
As for the sentence I've highlited above I can understand and comprehend things you speak of. You seemingly however make an assumption that there is a good chance that I've never had a dog or been emotionally attached or made a connection to one!
As kid my father never allowed me to have a dog, but since I was married in 1967 we have had five (5) dogs and I would have never-ever considered bringing any of them to a venu like the squares if it was crowded.
Our last dog, Sheena of Albany Co. (adopted with papers) was a beautiful and lovable German Shepherd that was gentle and would never hurt a fly; well maybe one person she didn't like and neither did we that much.
Sheena died in 1999 and we decided not to get another dog because we both realized that we both reached a point where we could no longer take proper care of a dog.

Hi Skyguy. I'm glad that my post answers some questions for you, but my post was not intended solely for you.
It was intended for all readers who may not understand why dog owners want to be with their dogs.
Yes, of course all dog owners must spend time away from their canine companions. I never said that dog owners want to spend 100% of their time 24/7 with their dogs. That was not my point.
The point of my post is to explain WHY dog owners like spending time with their canine companions.
