Hello everyone!
My name is Michaela, am from Germany and I'm studying English. At the moment I'm writing my diploma thesis about translation problems of dog websites and the general relationship between a dog and its owner in Germany and the USA in comparison.
My question is, whether it would be possible for you to complete a questionnaire of eight questions for me here in this forum or to e-mail it back to me to [email protected]?
I know, it's a weird request, but where else shall I ask than in an American dog forum?
Thank you very much for having read this and your help!
Michaela
Here the questions:
Questionnaire on the dog culture in the USA

4. Do you regard your dog as a member of your family?
