I would say because he's treated like a child and not a dog for the most
part. Warm bed, blankie with his name on it, my bed to sleep in at night,
healthy food, treats and fresh water and let's not forget grooming, brushing his teeth and lot's of hugs and kisses.
Gee I wish I were
Buddy!
P.S. Sweater, hoodies, raincoat and warm pile lined coat
for snow. All of which he hates!
