Had the dog when you became homeless.

Found a stray who helped you, with emotional support and doggishness, as has been a thing since before humans ever slept inside anything other than a fucking cave, survive.

Seems like you just want an excuse to hunt them for sport, because realizing they’re so fucking similar to you and youre like two pieces of paperwork (not even filed by you) away from being in that position is Fucking Terrifying, but you also don’t want to have a society where we don’t let this fucking happen to people, because you’re afraid you won’t get as many of your favorite treats.
