Sdogholm Syndrome
Few general statements are as sad as the saying “dogs are man’s best friends.” Consider it seriously: is it a good thing to have a dog as your best friend? My answer is of course not! My best friends are human. It is only when a human cannot find another human to be a friend that he or she would look to other species. Humans are men’s best friends, not dogs. Dogs maybe human’s best and original interactive toy, or perhaps the most convenient object for anthropomorphosis. I am not saying that dogs cannot be friends to human; they can be good companions and loyal protectors too. But if ones dog is not only ones friend but best friend, then the owner must be severely lacking in human relations. The only way this “dog’s best friend” can have a best friend is by isolating a pack animal from its kind and making it completely dependent on its “friend” for its every need. If it were human, it would have been diagnosed with Stockholm syndrome.
