Many, many times I've read people referring to others as treating their dogs as "just dogs" rather than...what...a person? I think I'm missing the rest of that phrase. I am head over heels in love with my Tucker...like seriously ga ga... but I'm wondering if I treat him as "just a dog" or whatever the alternative is.
How is the way you treat your Yorkie different than the way others treat their "dogs"?
PS It may seem I'm trying to be confrontational but I'm seriously just curious. I can't seem to find the right words to imply a curious tone rather than an accusatory one...please forgive me!
