All one has to do to prove this is to watch House Hunters on HGTV. A sizable number of couples state that they are buying a certain house because their dog would like the yard, or the floors would be suitable for their pooch.There are no children.

Great point; I hope their dog gets used to hearing Spanish, Chinese, and Arabic as a result of their choices.

That's a good point. I have noticed that. These are almost always young couples, in some cases quite well off, and they obviously have absolutely no plans to have children. But how they think a pet can substitute for a child and a family, I do not know.

There's certainly nothing wrong with having a pet and treating it well, but it's an animal and will never be your child.
