I love animals, and especially my dogs, because I know they love me. But...

In a recent survey by Psychology Today, four-fifths of dog owners “consider their dogs to be true family members, equal in status to children.”

That's just going a bit too far. I have a problem with that.

Agreed. I love animals, but I don’t confuse them with humans.

A teenager v a dog? I'll take the dog everytime. My pets are picked up off the streets who wander up to the house. Current crop consists of 2 mutts and 1.5 cats. There's a new stray cat I'm leaving food out for.
