The strength of that relationship can vary, though, like this evening when our dog found poop in the yard and started rolling in it. Bathing the dog isn’t how we had planned to spend our Friday night!

Man people have some really shitty relationships.
I get it though, unconditional love is something else. They will always love you while never asking questions and when they do something wrong (like rolling in shit), you can say they don't understand (they totally do)
They will always love you while never asking questions
Because they are incapable of, I get the sentiment that dogs relationship for some people mean, but you can't project the part of sentiment they are incapable of, on them, and be happy about it.
No, dogs can definitely hate you. If they know you're a shit person, that opinion is formed and they won't like you. You got to be really careful with dogs, something as little as a friendly prank or tease can really hurt their feelings and they'll go out of their way to not be around you.
That's all that matters when you need some support
I dearly love my kid, but I don't think I would rely on them for support. Certainly they would be willing to at least try to provide it, but they're a kid. Any significant support being provided should go in the opposite direction.
Point is parents don't judge their children ( not as much) and dogs don't judge us. We love children unconditionally (to some extent) and dogs love us unconditionally.
Our children, they love us unconditionally only until they to grow to certain age.
That's will most people prefer dogs generally. They are exceptions. But generally it holds true.
This shit wreaks of AI slop.
Damn, that's what I get for not being AI smart..
Fuck I had to correct so many AI typos for this comment.
Mommy I want a real keyboard for Christmas!
Skimming through the actual article I’m assuming it’s an AI generated summary of one section, although I’m not quickly finding even what it’s pulling from
It's clearly CoPilot, asking ChatGPT, to pull information from Grok's ass.
Not AI. It is me. The abstract is posted on the primary source Nature. Here is the citation
Post updated to included citation. Sry. Not AI. Just human error

Are dogs AI?
Dogs are certainly not naturally occurring. You could say they are an artificial construct by humans. And sure, they're intelligent enough.
Read over the paragraph again.
Look at how many times it ignorantly uses a Capital Letter in the middle of a sentence...
Shit like that is obviously AI generated...
Sorry. I should have included citation. What AI? It is an actual study posted on Nature. I read the study on the primary source. It is the abstract. PsyPost reposts and summarises it. I should have posted the citation. Sorry
Here is the citation.

That punctuation. "Including romantic partners, except children." WTF?
I am much closer to my husband and kids than to the dogs and cats but feel more responsibility towards the pets, the kids I am growing into adults who take care of themselves, the dogs and cats we care for until they die.
