Just a dog?
Dogs are exquisite creatures who give all that unconditional love and loyalty. They just ask for love and care in return.
Just a dog? Wrong, O heartless one. My dog is a member of my family, is like my child, and ANYONE who even thought of harming him may, (in the words of the Allman Brothers), wind up on the wrong end of a gun.
Just a dog! Sheesh!!!
‘My dog is a member of my family, is like my child’
I’m sorry you feel that way. I’m sorry your child is on the same level as a dog. But that is your choice. America is a amazing country.
You must not have a child then. Once you have a child, you will realize the relative importance of your human child versus a pet.
