Yes, that’s true. I also want to say that, from the one hand, it’s easier to please a spoilt pet than a pampered child. Animals’ needs are not as numerous as kids’ ones. On the other hand, animals can’t TELL us directly what they need to be happy right now. That’s why I feel pity for people who live only for their pets and want to fulfill all their wishes. For example, you are a crazy pet lover and suddenly your dog becomes sad and refuses to eat. You are confused: what’s the matter? Is the food bad? Is he or she sick? Is the bedding dirty? Are the toys too boring? Is that so because of depressing rainy weather? A spoilt child can at least start crying and say: “Buy me that book or I’ll kill myself!” Nothing’s worse than vagueness...
