They want to be.
That wasn't the question. If you have a dog, do you consider them family?
The question proposed was, 'Are dogs "family"?'
Dogs are tools. Some people just don't know how to use them as such. Tools are property.
Eh.
I don’t love my hammer.
I don’t want to exaggerate the importance of animals, and I don’t even think they have souls, but I also don’t want to underplay their importance or significance either. They are more than just tools. They do have feelings and they can offer companionship, which mere possessions cannot.
It doesn’t mean the world to my hammer to curl up on my bed when I’m sick. My hammer don’t give a shit. My cats do, and my dog too. They give me attention when I’m not feeling well. Whenever the chemo gets rough especially.
My wife doesn’t like the animals in our bed, but it’s OK when I’m sick. I’m not looking to a hammer for that.
Does a hammer have a soul?
As much as I consider my car family.
Does your car have a soul?
