I guess you're right. Especially for people who used to have a real pet.
It just caught me off guard when I saw that. I think the pictures made me somewhat uncomfortable, maybe because my dad (he's in Germany) developed dementia and he was moved to a care facility earlier this year, and we haven't been on speaking terms for 25 years, and now it's too late.
