It seems to be working out for both of us, so (shrug)

And how dogs see the world is as highly social animals tightly paired with other members of a pack. The human family they’re in is part of their pack. Not the same as a family, but similar enough.

You treat him as a little person and he treats you as a bigger dog. That seems fair.

And? I'm not even sure how this constitutes an opinion rather than a statement of fact.

But what if the dog is a furry little baby?

I have two 80lb dogs that are somehow also the tiniest baby boys in the world. Scientists are baffled at what tiny babies they are.

I will say they aren't always, but big dogs usually are. Had a spaniel collie mix that was an old dog from when she was a puppy. Then there was our black lab. smartest dog ever, but also was a a big baby and would crawl right up into your lap even when she was 17 and could barely walk.

Their perspectives are more aligned vs me and my crows.

People insist on anthropomorphizing pets

This is an unpopular opinion?

I see loving, caring owners who really love their pets treat them like a toy that does tricks. Kinda bugs me. They have little understanding of what the pet is thinking.

Dogs really LIKE doing 'tricks' or having a job. It's intellectually stimulating and lets them feel like they are working. Dogs like to work. But that said, I judge people by other metrics. Like, whether the dog is well-groomed or has long nails and dirty fur. Whether it is a polite and mannered dog or if it jumps on people and snarls. A bit of body language easily tells me if the owner REALLY loves their dog or if it's just family property.

I think some owners really love their pets to death. Overfeeding them. Thinking watching TV with them for 10 hours a day is quality time together, etc. But they really do love them. That's what kills me.

I know somebody like that. He babysat my dog for one month and she came back ten pounds heavier. It's better than neglect, but I still prefer not to be around impolite dogs, and I've told my friend he needs to do better. :\
