[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I have also learned not to engage non-dog owners in a debate. Either someone understands the importance that a dog can have in the life of a family or they don't. There is no point in trying to convince people on either side of this divide to try to overcome their differences. Better that people just agree to disagree and move on to another topic of discussion. "

You are so right! I've never owned a dog or any other pet.  A longish term boyfriend and I broke up in our 20s because, in large part, I couldn't relate to how he felt about his dogs (yes, he had more than one). I didn't get it, still don't, and married a man who's also not a pet lover.  I think I would almost marry across my race or religion before I'd marry a pet person.[/quote]

That was wise of you.  I do have an interfaith, interracial marriage to a man I absolutely adore.  But, if he hadn't been a dog-lover I would not have married him.  That is just one bridge too far for me.  Being an animal lover is a much more important part of my personality than my race or my religion.  Only another animal lover would make me happy. [/quote]

Being an animal lover is more important than religion to me, too, but I'm an atheist. I can't see why you would ever try to convince someone to like dogs, though. I like, even love, dogs, but I don't treat them like my brothers treat theirs. Theirs are like their children. Spoiled children. [/quote]
