The popularity of social media videos showing patient family dogs tolerating increasingly rambunctious toddlers and running off-leash in potentially dangerous circumstances concerns Roland. This is not only unkind and unfair to the animal it can also be downright dangerous. Many people who love their dogs make the mistake of expecting them to enjoy the same things people do.Įven worse, well-meaning pet owners often expect a dog to behave as a person would in certain circumstances.
"But it is a failure to accurately see them as what they are. "Seeing your dog as a 'little-furry-human' isn't necessarily wrong," says Roland, who is a proponent of positive relationships between people and their pets. They certainly don't expect their pooches to be entertained by the television when they're left alone at home all day. They don't dress them in adorable outfits every day they don't give them ice cream for dessert on a regular basis, either. Roland and his partner Lauren Henry adore their dogs and expend a great deal of time, energy, and money caring for them.
