It's science, actually. A study out of Massachusetts General Hospital found that women who have both a child and a dog have the same response in their brain when shown a picture of their child and a picture of their dog. In fact, sometimes the brain responded MORE to the dog. Our dogs are our children - our brains believe it, so it must be true. So stop with the naysaying and just let me be my dog's mother already! #dog #dogmom #petowner #dogs
