As someone adding to the dog spam, growing up with dogs, but not currently owning one, I completely agree with you. They are dogs, just a pet, nothing more. If someone wants a kid or baby, either make one, foster, or adopt one. There are plenty of kids out there looking for a home and adopting would be better for society as a whole than another doggo.

But really, of the owner isn't a dick and doesn't impact others, feel free to have dogs too.
