The bit about pathological relationship seems very subjective. I'm guessing you've had bad experiences with dog owners or pets. Obviously the human-dog relationship should be good for all parties involved. I agree about ill-behaving pets; a lot of people should take better care of their dogs. E.g. invest more in socialising, avoid places where the dog is uncomfortable, etc.
