[quote=Anonymous]I get what you're saying, OP. I think that the "my dog is my BABY" attitude is something I think is fairly recent, at least in its intense form. Watch shows like "It's Me or the Dog" and you'll see self-described "pet parents" who treat their dogs as if the dogs actually are children, and who often let the dogs rule the roost in ways that put the actual human children second. Seriously--watch the show and see the very cowed and frightened teen and adult kids taking second place to dogs in some households. Yes, I'm calling out only dog owners because I haven't seen this same level of "pet parent" attitude in my friends with cats, though I'm sure there are similar cat owners out there too. I think the line between pet owners I admire for their dedication and pet owners who are annoying to me is the line where the pet becomes a human, usually a human child, in their minds and in their priorities.[/quote]
