> Where are you from that dogs are not seen as family members? Where did you get that idea? My dogs absolutely are members of the family. They don't get to live in my house though, just like the dozens of other relatives I have who don't share my roof. > Also what about children? They are not exactly known to be clean either. Children don't enter the house with dirty feet. They don't lie in the dirt outside and then come and nap on the couch. They wipe their butts and shower twice a day. Most dogs live free, out in the open. I'd bet only a small proportion of the worlds dogs are kept indoors.
