    Damn do you have no empathy? How can you not understand how much a dog can mean to someone? A dog is not an inanimate object, it's a living being with a personality and emotions.

    Still only a dog. That tweet is an insult to everyone who has ever l lost a person.

    I've lost plenty of people in my life and that only makes me feel sympathy for his situation. Roscoe clearly means a lot to him. Dogs are social animals, they become members of families, they love people and animals, they experience emotions and pain. How can you be so heartless?

    Dogs are animals. Predators to some, food to others. Whatever emotions you see in them is nothing but a reflection of your own expectations. Stop treating them like they were humans.

    As another commenter already said, we're also animals. Why would humans be the only beings who deserve empathy and love? A dog is no human, but they're also capable of building a bond with humans and likewise the other way around. They recognize us, share in our emotions, and take part in out lives. Such a loss hurts all the same.

    I know the pain of loosing a pet. But messages like Hamilton's on social media do give me the creeps: rich man problems.

    Poor people currently are fighting to get their kids into a hospital. Rich people postpone their work to be with their dog in IC. Then they post it on social media for... For what? Scoring Social Media points? Empathy?

    Social media sucks!

    Rich man can't be sad because poor people have it worse. What a dumb take. Roscoe went everywhere with Lewis and is very popular among his fans, why would he not share such a moment. If you don't care because "other people have it worse" then read something else.
