That's a great point man, cause it's not like it's hard to objectively see how much love, enthusiasm, and loyalty dogs exhibit. It's not like they're some stoic animal where people can make the excuse that "they don't get it"....dogs are the most effusive, affectionate creatures on earth for gosh sakes! If someone can't see that, they are blind....and anyone who chooses to harm such a creature is a fuggin evil bastard.
