Let’s face it, fellow dog lover: Your pets are like your
children (with fur). Pets bring endless joy to our lives:
When we’re down, they lift our spirits. When they’re sick,
we’re sick at heart. We let them have the run of the house
and sleep on our beds—but the unconditional love and loyalty
they give back is so wonderful that we want them to have the
best of everything.
