I find it misguided that more and more people are opting for dogs over kids, ostensibly because the canines are seen as the easier option

More and more people are opting for dogs over kids, ostensibly because the canines are seen as the easier option.

The largest area of divergence between the two is that dogs are way more work than kids.

Babies require a lot of care, often at inconvenient times, and dogs can eat on their own from the start.

Do my kids bark constantly at the Amazon delivery guy who comes every day or at other kids walking down the street or at things they imagine? They do not.

Would they repeatedly shock themselves if I’d gone with a traditional electric fence? No. Have they ever pushed me to the brink of surgery?.
