Should We Consider Pets Like Family Member? Should We Consider Pets Like Family Member? I used to believe that pets would never be family member because, they don't think, and are annoying. However, I lived together with my ex-girlfriend who was an animal lover, specially of the pug dogs, that's why on one occasion I gave her away a pug dog whose name was Channel. At the beginning, I thought that it had been a bad idea since, we had many problems because of Channel. For instance, Channel was always crying and knocking the door what made me upset, as a result my girlfriend demanded me to let channel to live inside the house. I had no choice but to agree because, I didn't want to keep arguing. After some days I thought that I had made another mistake since, the house was a mess; there were pet hair on my clothes and to exacerbate this situation, channel seldom peed and pooped inside de house. On the other hand. Channel showed always a true love. I remember that my ex-girl friend used to go to her house three times a week. I really hated those days because, I missed her. However, Channel was always waiting for me shaking its tail after each work day. In addition we spend a lot of time together, and although Channel wasn't capable of speaking or holding me, I was able to feel a special affection from it. Besides Channel keeps me moving when we went out for a stroll. I used to working out while she was running around me. In my view, pets have not only feelings, but also intelligence what become them members of family.
