Most of my ultra -long, single friends all have a dog or at least a pet. Several times they have tried to convince me also on the importance of the company or psychological support that can give you an animal at home. A repressed affection for their children who have not had not known in them. I think well on the pros and cons of this choice I have always categorically refused: the cons (management, food, walk for …) would be greater than the pro (company!). In this regard, I fully agreed with the Council given by Pope Francis and referring to those who confuse children with dogs. Experts call it anthropization of animals. I too (… for now) I have no children but I don’t intend to have their own four -legged successive money!

Dear Alex, perhaps it will be surprised by this revelation given the vehemence with which she seems to me to waste a priori the possibility of breeding an animal. But there are many healthy relationships between dogs, cats and masters. Indeed, I would dare to say that I am still most of them, thank God and with all due respect to Pope Francis. For those who, on the contrary, have always lived with a beast (flanking it perhaps to relatives, children, friends) anthropomorphization is even more horrendous because it is a subtle, sugary but not less violently not to respect the animal and how they can imagine, those who really love them respect them. I would never have dared, nor would it have occurred to me to ridicule my German shepherd (or any other dog of mine) putting a tie, a pair of sunglasses or any other shameful, unlikely gadget contrary to his nature. The relationship with an animal is one of the most sublime things that exist, believe me. Those of which she talks to me are dictated distortions, as has easily intuited, from obviously scorching shortcomings. But then poor mistress and above all poor dog … they are simply wrong and toxic relationships, for both. People constantly build them with their fellow men. Probably his friends would not be better with a son, or with a partner.
Even in being alone there is something sublime, but you have to be at peace with yourself to be able to understand it. As for her, I would not be surprised at all if in a few months he rewritten me to tell me how happy he is with his labrador. They are always the most skeptical to capitulate in front of a tail that agitates.
