Is it possible to love your dog or cat too much?
A colleague called to my attention a provocative article in World Magazine regarding Americans’ devotion to their pets. The author of the piece told of a veterinarian who likes to ask people if, given the choice between saving the life of a stranger in a burning building or their beloved pet, which one would they save?
“You’d be surprised,” he said, “how many would save their pet.”
Dogs and cats are increasingly becoming more and more part of the family.
