Dog to Owner Relationships

Dog to Owner Relationships Similar to That of Babies and Their Parents, Study Finds
The article says that owners and dogs relationship are like babies and their parents.
I agree to the point of view that dogs are babies who need to be cared and loved by their owners.
I had kept two dogs for more than 15 years.
One was adopted from the animal care center who was almost ten years and had to leave from the former owner by some reason.
I had to breed her as a step owner for 6years until she died. A year before her death she was getting senile and no appetite. I made an idea to promote her native power to get a young dog for her company. I expected the puppy would arise her instinct and power.
They were getting along with each other for a year. But the senior dog passed away at the age of 16. It was good enough as a dog.
Now that the little puppy is getting to be ten years soon. She is a senior dog now but still a baby for me.
They are babies forever.
