In my defence: Sheba and I are both vegan, she comes from a local government pound, we spend on average three hours every day on walks, and I've worked from home since she came to live with me. I don't consider myself as her owner, rather as her guardian.

Unfortunately, what the author of this article describes is true for far too many companion animals.
