"}\u201cthe most depressing thing about human nature is that everybody, no matter how enlightened or progressive, loves their pet dog more than their pet children\u201d
\u201cwhat makes you say that?\u201d
\u201cwell it turns out that people, like humans, are wired to love other animals more than children. but it\u2019s a deep love. so if you give people an opportunity to love their pet more than their children, they don\u2019t even hesitate. it\u2019s always going to be, \u2018oh, you don\u2019t want me to look at your kids. i\u2019ll only look at your dog.\u2019\u201d
\u201cbut\u2013\u201d
\u201cno buts. the dog lives to dog-years while the children die to human years. this is known.\u201d
