Sometimes dogs are more than dogs. They are your non-judgemental best friends. I am not a dog person, I had a cat who graced me with 20 years. He stuck around until my daughter was born and then went to his reward. He was there to dry my tears and cuddle when the world got nasty. One of my prized pictures is my baby sleeping on my kitty.
I do feel it is bad when people make animals out to be people. It is an insult to the animal. Dogs want to be dogs and cats want to be cats. And when we expose other people to our "babies" they see them as animals. It causes problems. Too many animal owners are just plain freaky about this. If you choose your animal over your human child, some nice lithium would help you.

I agree with you...except my dog thinks she is a human. Got her from the pound before she even had teeth. We call her "Princess" even though that isn't her name. But she can find the softest spot in the house to lay down every time. Even if it is just one blanket or towel thicker than what you are on. I always think of the Princess and the Pea with her. She eats dog food though.

Cat person myself (low maintaince)
I had two that allowed me the pleasure of providing them with shelter. And for this I could(on special occasions only)pet them.
Cats don't act like they own the world...THEY DO!
