I have had dogs my whole life and I understand them. It's no different having children and I believe that dogs should be treated the same way, otherwise it's best for people not to have them if they can't care for them in that way. Dogs need love and attention and want to be a part of a family and should be treated the same way. I have a dog now and she is my best friend, and I treat her the same way that I would want to be treated.
