Hi Guys,

Just about 4 weeks ago I had to put my 'Bear' (Lab/Rotty mix) to sleep and yesterday had to do the same for my 13 year old Rotty. So, it's with a heavy heart that I ask this question to those of you who are 'dog people'.
Do we simply want a dog(s) or do we 'need' them (functionally, comraderie, emotionally, etc) as much as they need us?
Personally, I am quickly finding that I need to have a dog.
