I love dogs. All dogs. I adore puppies and seniors and hounds in their prime. I'm amazed by our long history of coevolution. I think man's best friend deserves better from us humans. And this love for dogs is precisely why I do not believe that everyone who likes the idea of a canine companion should go get one.
Hear me out: Could life be better, for people and pets alike, if fewer of us had dogs of our own? Or if we at least asked ourselves more critical questions before bringing home a new family member? I know this can be a pretty controversial take... so I've spent some more time pondering.
