highly unbalanced power dynamics between owners and dogs not unlike a master-slave relationship that is the embodiment of every class-based societies

You clearly haven't seen how bossy my dog is. If I'm on my phone and she feels she's not being paid attention to, she'll straight up knock it out of my hands and then stare me down like I deserved it.

EDIT: Also, I just noticed this is in /c/askchapo and yet there's no question. Doesn't this belong in /c/strugglesession?
