Sorry about your dog. But your example only highlights a tabu issue in these discussions, the negative impact that having a pet has. They consume meat, packaged food, are driven around, attack wild fauna (cats especially) etc. Pets is one of the items everyone should cut, but they're only becoming more common, like SUVs.

Dogs evolved alongside humans. You're never going to convince people to give them up.
