His dog lives a better life than most humans do and is well loved and taken care of. Source: Every single person who knows her in real life and interacts with them. Hell you can see it from their interactions on stream but you wouldn’t know that since you don’t watch clearly.

The experience of life, for humans and animals, is more than just being “taken care of”. Your measure of “love” still treats a dog like an object and measures the quality of the human-canine relationship in terms of hierarchy; I give you X, therefore I expect you to give me Y. Gross, both of you.

You clearly don’t know what you are talking about. Kaya has a great life and is not treated like an object simply because her bed is on stream. News flash if your dog likes you they will actually choose to be around you even when you are just doing boring stuff and sitting at a desk and especially when they understand their routines and know they have a dog walk at a specific time each day and have already done other enrichment activities. Hasan/Kaya’s schedule isn’t unknown if you watched a few streams you would know it, but again you clearly don’t watch. They can simply relax because they know they have times of the day they will get to run around and get their energy out. Kaya is well trained too, which clearly shows a bond between Hasan and her and its extremely common to use treats during training.

A dog is like a child, it has no legal rights to its self and lacks the ability to withdraw from an abusive situation and seek a better environment or companion. It just makes do with what is offered even if its base needs (food/shelter/water) are met. Of course it will “love” whoever provides that because that’s all they have, and they’ll suffer the less savory parts in between because, again, that’s all they have.
Do you really think that so long as basic needs are met, training/conditioning another living being to fit your schedule and harsh rebukes when inconvenienced by their expression of independent mind are acceptable?
