Owners who knowingly treat their dog like a pet and a separate species with an intellectual boundary there between their dogs world and their world I am good with, and I respect their lifestyle

The enthusiastic ones that have created a fur child that they sleep with, lounge with, and interact with like their offspring weird me out

Most the times those dogs aren't even that cute. I guess just like babies

Sliver isnt that out to lunch. I genuinely wonder how often dog owners meditate on the amount of fecal matter hanging off their dogs fur most of the time

Some of them are essentially walking shag rugs that excrete feces constantly with little accuracy/precision. Do you know how easily things end up caught in shag rugs?
I felt like that before dog, and still after dog. They're not people.

Yet I now understand better why some people do this. It a mental health thing. Feels like they are projecting, maybe due to fact they don't want or can have kids. Yet want to have that feeling of human like love.

I do draw the compassion line at celebrating father's day and mother's day along with human parents. You can't have that. Make your own day. The crap us parents have to worry about and deal with will never come from a dog. Sorry but not sorry you can't water down my one day that my ungrateful kids have to show some love.
