Why do people who live in small apartments, work and travel a lot, get dogs?

OP It's better for the dog (even large) to be in an apartment than a rescue. So sad all the dogs in the rescues.

Yep this. At least you can leave a dog at home alone. Young children need a sitter/caregiver every second you need to be away.

Children over time become more and more independent. Not true with dogs or any pet. There will never be a time when the dog can get its own food or take itself for a walk.

Inn the time it takes a child to become independent, a dog becomes dead (unfortunately).So if you're done with the responsibilities of pet ownership, there it is

The dog is there to fulfill an emotional need in the owner, and then the dog dies and the owner gets another puppy (or two).

Thanks, Brunch Gran. Please feel free to reply to any of the many well-thought out comments from responsible city owners who take care of their pets and are responsible owners. No one else has.
