My family had a dog when I was 5 years old. I remember playing with him, but don't know how strong the bond really was. I knew that my father was very sad when the dog died.
I just recently read a story of a couple who bought a boat to travel the world. After a short period of time, they realized that their dog was not happy living on the boat, so they sold it and bought an RV instead. The dog is much happier after that. :
How strong is the bond between you and your dog (or cat)? How far are you willing to change YOUR lifestyle to make your dog happy / happier?
Edit to add: If you don't mind sharing: How much do you spend on your dog annually? I have read/heard of numbers that are multiples of GDP per capita of many many countries.
