I don't get it. You rail on and on about how you don't want to have kids, too much responsibility, you say. But then you have a dog? Dogs are like children that never leave the toddler stage. Sure, you can leave them at home and in you car by themselves and not get arrested, but you will be taking care of that dog until one of you dies. I guess it is easier with creatures who will love you unconditionally, even when your a fucking asshole. This is probably why you like dogs more than people. Dogs don't hold you accountable for your shitty behavior.
