I understand what you're saying and as always, everyone is entitled to air their opinion, but this comment is a little insensitive towards people (and I'll likely be called a 'snowflake' for this, but oh well) who maybe cannot have children so they put all their love/money/effort/whatever into their pet instead. Each to their own I guess. However in saying that, soph is definitely not one of these people lol. She palms that dog off to anyone who will have it for a few days. And the licking of the face, no no no, thats gross.
