Bizarre Puppy Pampering: Continued

A few posts ago I talked about spa treatments for dogs. I thought that it was strange but liked that donations were given to help abandoned pups. Well, I found an article that touches upon very bizarre and luxurious services and vacations for dogs.

"Since the Second World War, human's affection for pets has intensified. A study by Aaron Katcher investigated the various common indicators of affection for pet dogs, with 67% of pet owners having a picture of their pet, 73% of dog owners allow their dog to sleep in their bedroom and 80% believe that their pet is sensitive to the owner's feelings. A study by Victoria Voith found that 97% pet owners talked to their pet at least once a day. So, pets are part of the family and the human -- pet bond is strong."

This is totally understandable, I love my dog. But the article just really starts getting weird towards the end and a little over-the-top. You can read it here.
