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