      Exactly! It’s not like you need them to learn good habits to become self-sufficient workers when they grow up.

      As much as we beg and plead him, our dog is never going out to get a job. Might as well spoil him with treats and belly rubs!

        Our dog is an expert at doing dog things:

        • Wagging
        • Barking at neighbors
        • Chewing bones
        • Barking at package delivery
        • “Sit pretty”
        • Barking at squirrels
        • Ball
        • Barking at nothing

    I would absolutely take the side of the pet owner in this case. Although not a pet owner myself, I have seen the love and happiness that pets give. It’s beautiful, and not for outsiders to judge.

    I don’t spoil my dog but I do consider expenses associated with him to be mental health costs.
