A healthy affection for a pet is fine but an obsession is an entirely different story. Being joined at the hip with your pet is not a healthy place to be as noted in the article at the link below from Modern Dog Magazine. Obviously some here have gone way beyond obsession and no amount of reasoning will ever change them.

You should read the article before commenting on it. It is all about the effects on DOGS if one gives them too much attention. It has nothing to do with owners.
I have never seen anyone giving too much attention to their dog....except on television. Spending time with ones dog happens here because we are retired and have spare time.
