I grew up having both cat & dog. I was still a kid when they passed and I was gullible enough to believe my parents that they "got married and started their own families so they moved to their own houses".
A very touching comic (WARNING: extreme risk of tearing up):

- EpicEng 10y agoI'm curious; do you have a child of your own? Having one myself, it's hard for me to equate my dog to my son. It's not even close.
- scoreponok 10y agoI tend to agree here when i hear people equating love of animals with love of children and it kind of bothers me when people make such an equivalence. I've had many pets throughout my life, and my love for them pales in comparison to the love for my children. I'm certain i would give my own life to save any of my children, i can't say the same for my dog.
