I have seen many folks in the dog parent (to this degree) category and they are people who would be unable to put themselves and their wants aside to raise healthy, functioning children. I'd prefer they not taint the gene pool for my kid and any grandchildren I may have.

Opinions are like assholes and everyone has one, this is mine.

Also, I have a spoiled dog that I tell her she's mommy's girl. She's a great dog, but I wouldn't set up a custody agreement should my husband and I get divorced. Again , opinions and assholes...
