My pets are literally treated as family members. I treated my dogs like they were my brothers, or sisters.

I am one of those people who think animals should have rights. I know it's crazy, but it just how I feel.

I had a girlfriend move out because she didn't like my Bull Mastiff's period. She told me to get rid of the dog, or I'm leaving. I literally packed her bags. She had her own apartment, so she wasen't homeless. You would not believe the words she yelled at me. "You love that dog more than me--you a-hole!" Me, "Maybe?"

I didn't think it was an American thing. I guess I just didn't think about it.

(I will say this; I sometimes think family bonds are tighter in other countries. I don't know? I've seen some nasty immoral acts--akways over money in the United States. I loved animals way before I realized how immoral certain family members were though.)
