Anti social is of course the wrong word to use. People who have never owned a dog might not appreciate how much dogs mean to their owners and how they are treated or become a part of the family. Or the gap it leaves in their lives when they are gone.

You don’t see any similarity to the post I responded to and the way people who married their dog spoke about them?
I think you’re probably right in that people who have never owned a dog might not understand, but people who own dogs don’t always share that same affinity either. I had dogs growing up. They were dogs. You love them like dogs, not like your friends or your siblings or your parents… like dogs. When they die, the gap is dog shaped… you can pretty easily fill it with another dog… if you want.
