Dog like Human?

Do you tend to treat your dog as if she were a human? Check out this from Wolf Blitzer of CNN:

Not Without My Dog

If you've slept with a lot of dogs, you're not unlike many other Americans. Pet lovers are doing more and more with their furry friends, pushing them in baby strollers and purchasing canine-coordinated attire.

Human Dog

Well, we can't have any dogs at my home.  Due to my husband's allergies.  :(  But my mom and dad have a dog.  They have had this dog for like 7 or 8 years.  They treat their dog like it's a child.  They always talk to him, love on him.  He sleeps on the foot of their bed.  The dog loves to go for rides with my mom in her car.  They even buy him little boxes of doggie treats and chew toys and wrap them up to put under the tree at Christmas time.  But dog is also jealous of when there is a baby around.  The dog will growl if my mom is holding or having my youngest child sitting with her.  But my mom and dad don't go to the extreme of buying the dog clothes or a special things like that.  They just treat the dog like he is a part of the family.

I LOVE DOGS!!!! ;D I think they're the most wonderfuil, beautiful pets ever!!!!
I had 6 dogs in Argentina and we loved each one of them, my mom used to cook great dishes for them and I remember one time of her friends came over and says 'Is that the food for the dogs, how I would like to be a dog!' LOL

Yes, some people treat their dogs as good as members of their family. I don't see anything wrong with that. I think is great although it would be so good that all the energy and money they spend for their pets can be used to help a child who is less fortunate, don't you all think?.

Dog like Human?

My dog is like my baby and he thinks he's human!

He lays on the couch next to me on his side with his head on the pillow, comforter on him but his front paws out like we would lay with our arms outside of the comforter.

He "talks" back too.

Tena, that's sooo sweet!. I used to have a dog in Argentina who used to do the same thing! I used to call him 'My son' he was so loving. My grandmom used to get angry when he would go and sleep on my bed .(he is a pretty big dog)

My dog, Cody, has a routine every night. When he turn off the lights for bedtime, he will come into our room, and go to the side of the bed where my wife sleeps, and curl up on the floor. Sometimes we will call to him, and he'll get up on the bed and lay right between the 2 of us. Mind you, he is 100lbs, so it is good that we have a king-size bed! My wife spoils him much more than I do, but, yes, we treat him just like one of the family, even signing his name in Christmas and Birthday cards that we send out. Sometimes, when I am on the couch in the living room, he will curl up in a ball on the couch right next to me and take a nap. He definitely isn't shy about acting like he's human, that's for sure!
