I kind of agree with "Dr. Dwight". From our 4 legged friends we get unconditional love, affection, companionship,and protection from bad people coming in the house (at least if the dogs are big). Part of the deal is we have to pick up their poo poo and feed them. It's not a bad trade off if you ask me.
