Here's a pic of my little "sis" I guess, since I'm an only child. My mom's dog, Teddi. I'm glad no one in my family is a real "pet parent". Those people that name their animal a human name, dress them up in clothes all the time, have birthday parties or just generally treat an animal like a person. It's funny to see a dog in a costume sometimes, but as long as you understand it's just for fun. But all this isn't to say that animals don't have their own personalities. Teddi definitely is different from a dog we owned "Chief". I enjoy Teddi's antics when I go to visit, she's a little character.
