But the dogs on The Dog Whisperer who have "issues" (because of their owners' behavior) behave this way because the humans have treated their dogs with human psychology rather than dog psychology. I never believe our pets our "just a dog" or "just a cat." When our dog died last month, I felt like I lost a human member of my family. |
I do believe my dogs are just dogs, but just because my definition is different from the philosophies here doesn't meant that I care or love them any less. That doesn't mean that when they are ill that I care for them less than anyone here cause I am more open minded on what I label them. I was up all night with Ryoko because he at Kaze's food and then got into the food container as well. I rubbed his tummy all night and made sure I was up to take him out at 2 am when he finally had to poop. Just because he is a dog to me doesn't i wouldn't cry if he passed away or be heart broken. I don't get offended when people call them Just dogs because thas what they are Dogs, canines. They are what they are but no matter what they are to us doesn't change the love we give to them. if you can afford it spoil them! encourage your friends to adopt if they want and find a dog to neuter and spoil as well.
I agree, watch how you spoil them so that it doesn't affect their behavior.
