But dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years. They are no longer wild animals...Most dogs could never survive in the wild. If people own dogs, those dogs are not wild whether they say they are or not. Just my opinion -- I know that none of my dogs could have gotten on without me -- they would have perished in the wild. Not to mention most of my pets have had surgeries of some sort that I would never have done without because I should love them the way they are. I think it's better to love them living than dead, healthy than sick, etc. Better to be safe than sorry, just my two cents!

I now have the horrifying image of a man marking around the house lmao.
