#5 When I hear "dog parent" I ask them if they have committed unspeakable acts. Having a pet is not the same has a baby.

#9 1) Humans can take care of themselves. If they're too young to do so, they're assumed to have family responsible for doing so.

2) "If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man." -- Mark Twain

#10 Some people say that pets are just like children. Let me tell you something, no one ever got a dog because they were too drunk to pull out.
