Yes most of my family feels that way about me, especially my sister who hates dogs and animals in general. At first it bothered me but I realize I used to be just like her. I couldnt understand why people were that way with their dogs until I got my yorkies and my whole frame of mind changed. Instead of being angry with them or hurt, I actually feel kinda sorry for them that they are missing out on the unconditional love that we get from our dogs. IT is something that needs to be experienced before it can be understood I think. IT does kinda make me mad whenever she asks me how my mutts are doing tho.
