I would give some consideration to what you pose as a rebuttal, however, I would consider someone who lost their 25 year old as being someone who lost their kid. Furthermore, I wonder if that 25 year old had their own child who died in a hypothetical accident, that the grandparent would think to themselves, "at least it wasn't my child?"
There most certainly is.
Thanks.
And that is my point. I find it annoying when someone, especially on a newscast, seems to state how sad it is that a child died and then glosses over the death of the adult. While an adult, that adult is someone's child, brother, sister, parent...etc. Death is sad, and in my opinion, no more tragic for someone who is young than old.
Dogs pretty much stay babies. I like babies a lot. I like toddlers because they're cute as hell. I don't like kids over 4. They're just as moody as I am and they're a mini-person. I'm boss little person.
Kids get older and no matter how much you discipline, do the right things, something will go wrong and they're probably hate you for something. Dogs always love you.
Plus they do what you want them to.
There's always the except to the rule and I LOVE those kids. But I love giving them back to their parents most of all.
I really think I like dogs more and I still don't understand why most of the time. I'm really good with kids and I get that a lot. Like people go wow you're so good with them. They like come to me. But I like puppies and dogs a little better.
But babies and little children can be adorable. I'm a sucker for a kid with a pacifier. They just look so innocent and sweet and I love them sitting in a basket looking at the world like it's an awesome place. When they don't speak fully yet they're great.
Maybe I like dogs better because they can't talk. IDK but I DO hate cats. I really dislike those animals and everything else. I just like dogs and not all dogs. Those rodent looking things I don't like. Those nasty little Yorkies, those little ugly ROUSes chihuahuas, those yappy annoying Dachshunds, those creepy Ewok looking shih tzus, etc.
Puppies/dogs don't scream and *most* don't drool all over the place. Dogs can be trained not to run wild and can actually be loyal, kids are monsters that only care about themselves. Puppies are cute, human babies just look like a mutated blob of a human being.
Oh yeah and not to mention all the money you won't be spending on diapers, clothes, toys, schools, etc. dogs just settle for a $10 bag of dog food and some water everyday.
dogs offer companionship and dont require much care, just keep them clean, fed, walks, rabies shots
humans are more of a liabilty, takes more responsibility, care, food, clothing, medical care, education, a lot more stressful to raise a child, more of a burden, plus having a family is no longer necessary in a modern society, you dont need lots of kids to tend the farm or do chores like the old days.
dogs are never a burden and dont require much to be happy
Kittens and puppies are cute babies are not. Besides which kittens and puppies grow up to be cats and dogs. Babies grow up to be humans - the most evil and destructive beasts on the earth.

Exactly plus babies require far more attention than a dog. You don't have to wake up constantly to tend to a hungry dog, but a baby you do. A dog requires much less maintenance than a human. If I want to go somewhere for a weekend, I can board the dog or even leave it by itself for a day or two - I can't board a baby. A child is orders of magnitude more of a financial commitment than a dog and your obligation to the child will be way more than the dogs lifespan. If TSHTF, the dog can go but you can't get a rid of a kid.

Please don't get a dog. This is so not correct.
