Please, you should understand that he is a well, firmly disciplined dog, who’s never treated as a quasi-human and has never been spoiled in his entire life. After all, a dog is a dog.
No offense intended. Honestly, dogs do become a part of the family dynamic, and I don’t have a problem with people acting as if they are another member of the family.
Of course that’s in the home and the normal family setting.
I don’t mean the dog should be treated that way in public, or that become an excuse to push the dog off on people and situations that are inappropriate.
