That's not too far off. People really love dogs. I've never met a person who would blame a dog for anything, they're treated like angels and any bad behaviour is blamed on the owner, not the dog itself. The dog is without sin and beyond punishment. They're treated kind of like children, really, except even the most cold-hearted scrooge, who would gladly put kids to work shovelling coal for 12 hours a day at a salary of half-penny a month would think twice about kicking a dog.
