If you think some middle aged childless spinster who loves her dog is such a tragic person, just go hug your spouse and kids and be grateful that your life isn't so sad. Ask yourself why you feel the need to complain about or mock people you feel sorry for.

Because these people want their dogs treated as children and allowed in the same places. It would be one thing if they kept their behavior to their own hole but it spills out everywhere. This is how you get dogs on tables on restaurants and dogs slobbering on food at the grocery store.

It sounds like your problem is with stores and restaurants that allow dogs. Choose places that prohibit them—you’ll be much happier.

Lol if only it were that easy. People ignore signs and take their dogs everywhere.

Because they think of their dogs as equivalent to children.

It's not the same but there are similarities. Training/discipline works better with positive reinforcement for both. Both need attention and affection. Both need basic physical needs met. Both require periodic medical visits and treatments. Dealing with children is a much more complex version, of course.

But how does it affect you really? So my neighbor/friend thinks of their dog as "their baby?" who cares?

These people can not be reasoned with. They are ridiculous and there is no helping them.

So what if people care for their animals? I’ll take that over animal abuse. If they’re taking a pet into a store that doesn’t allow them, alert the managers.

I have. At a grocery store. Not a service animal (it's pretty obvious). Managers ignore it because they don't want to deal with the type of princess who takes their fur baby into a grocery store. I'm sure they would feel differently if I rolled into my local Safeway with my German Shepherd....

Because they feel superior to childless dog owners and they want childless dog owners to affirm that belief. They can’t accept that having a dog and no kids could be meaningful and that the childless dog owner could be just as happy with their choices.

NP here. Thise of you wondering why this matters, just feel grateful that you've never dealt with family members arguing about who has to skip Thanksgiving dinner: Aunt Ida's dog or allergic cousin Jimmy.

That's a false dichotomy. Delusional pet owner / animal abuser aren't the only options. There are lots of responsible pet owners who don't believe their pets are equivalent to people.

I mean honestly I do feel superior to someone who thinks their dog is the same as a child. But I don’t need anyone to affirm that for me.

Christ, how bored and angry are DCUM posters that this same exact topic comes up - what, every two months?

We know. You hate pets. You think people without kids are just husks of human beings. Dogs are too many places anymore! And cats, up on the counter - the horror!

Get. Over. Yourselves.

There is one specific poster (Pet Troll- Jeff is familiar) who constantly brings this up. I swear her husband left her for a childless woman with a dog and now she spends her evenings drinking wine and screaming at pictures of her kids happy with new woman and a Golden Retriever, "I'm a MOTHER. I.AM. THE. MOOOOOTTTHHHER" while writing out these ridiculous screeds. Certainly seems super happy with life, really content and secure.

PP with kids and dogs.

I prefer the weird troll who posts those strange kitchen pics in the Home forum TBH.
