Uh oh.
You’ve just thrown out irresistible bait for the “animals are lesser beings” posse....;D
When I was a kid, my dogs [and horses] were my only playmates.
There weren’t any kids nearby and somehow, I don’t think I turned out the worse for it.
I’ve been described as having a “dog-loyal devotion” to my human friends.
Gee...wonder where I learned *that* from?
:)
[and yes, if my friends are attacked, I race in and “bite” their attackers]....LOL
*Woof!*
