Treating your dog or cat like a baby is not something to brag about. At best, an admission of parental love will get you pitying looks and a quiet corner to yourself at parties; at worst you’ll be held up as an example of What Is Wrong With Society Today.

What could be a more perfect example of bourgeois folly, the unspoken assumption goes, than substituting a slobbery, stinky dog for a human infant?

What a wonderful story!

I loved this, but I am crying so hard right now.

I am sure part of the reason I work in the field is because stories like that make me bawl every time! Wonderful story.

That is beautiful, and really hits home as we have two older dogs (12 and 13 years) and are expecting our first baby in a couple of months.

Thank you for posting it.
