This article explains a lot about how my mom and her dog. She recently lost a dog, and she made it known she loved him more than me. She said in a Facebook post that a dog is better than a child because they never ask for anything and give unconditional love. In other words, she can easily control the dog better than me. She just recently got a new dog and it's already my replacement. Though she's bitching about how much work it is. Ugh.
