This is the kind of thing that makes me doubt my stance on dogs. I worry that maybe one or both of my kids will be the kind of kid who needs a dog. I grew up with two dogs (serial monogamy,) plus a rotating cast of cats, and never felt a deep emotional connection to any of them. I mean yeah, I cared in the sense that I certainly wouldn't want to see them hurt, but mostly we just cohabited. I'd hate to deny something important to my future angsty-middle-schoolers though...
