Season- u r right- any guy that clearly takes time out from filming his episode of hoarders to address his dog fans shows commitment. While his point is well taken, probably not very well made. At risk of sounding Socratic, I'd say in my inexpert opinion that most of us have our dogs as pets and not true "working dogs"... The joy comes from our emotional attachment. We apply "logic" as an extension of that bond to incorporate these wonderful ANIMALS (yes, not human) into our human existence for an enhanced life experience in a responsible way. Kind of like our kids. When I had kids, I remember asking God "is this what it's like? We always want to know why we can't have donuts for dinner?!?". No, our dogs can't have donuts for dinner EVERY night. Because we love them. (My husband chides me when I compare people's kids to dogs. I apologize if that's offensive- but if u knew how I love my dogs you really wouldn't mind). Now, I've gotta go set my DVR to catch the next episode of hoarders....
