If everyone but you misses the point is it a case for a badly written article, you're being smarter, or maybe you are miss-interrupting it?
My mother has been an amazing teacher for over 35 years. She loves kids, loves teaching, loves mothering. That said she has never and will never love any kids more than her own, period. She is not snobbish, nor elitist, she has given her life to helping these kids graduate, understand, and overcome life challenges beyond education. This is an act of love, an act of passion. The accusation that just because she wouldn't pick a student over her child in a pivotal "the good son" scene is preposterous and a clear example of one who cannot understand the reality that all love is not created equally and just because you can pick amongst when need be does not mean you lack emotion for the alternative option.
I love my dogs. I love dogs, I could not handle my 13 hour days filled with biting, noise, poop, pee, and body checking if I did not. When my clients, or any dogs, experience joy I am instantly happier, when they experience pain or fear I feel for them and want to fix their issues. I don't care their breed in the end. I positively get excited over certain breeds and brace myself over others (such as boxers, while my crew of the breed are dog friendly they don't read dogs well and it is a work in progress to teach them when to back off, this doesn't make them a bad breed), it's called experience and expectations but I have been pleasantly surprised and thus am constantly checking myself with an open mind.
The point is an accusation has been made that we of the dog fancy do not respect, love, and value doodles and shelter mutts. The response I have is although many out there do feel this way they are not the majority. Many in my breeds own dogs like livestock, some even admit it with pride questioning why one would do otherwise, but I cannot fathom presuming these are the majority and thus creating blanket statements and accusation that are hurtful to the true majority.
