Margaret Thatcher: "there is no such thing as society, there are only individuals and families"

/r/DogFree:

"It's so wholesome to see a family without a pet dog...The whole family is talking with each other and, well, being a family.

The ideal family doesn't need a dog. A dog is a living parasite of a burden.

I notice family units are usually stronger when they don't have a dog.

That’s what it looks like at my house. Peace, quiet, chatting with each other. We can come and go in and out of the house without a "shadow"

Without a shadow? new type of vampire ghoul just dropped

    Help me understand the appeal.

    A child is much more expensive and requires a longer/more thorough commitment. There are people like poodle boomers who genuinely have empty nest syndrome, but like all the shit I do with my dog is just ironic. It's building a very dedicated inside joke for one that makes a dog the shelter system gave up on feel special. He's the affordable option for companionship and if he didn't have an overly-ornate subreddit then I'd just have a bunch of scattered phone pictures of him doing stupid things without any context.

      Yeah personally I find dogs amusing I like their attitude and I like living with a creature that is easy to keep happy
