My dog, a rottweiler named Max, died 5 years ago when I was 26 years old. He had what the vet said was a degenerative nervous system disorder and had to be put asleep. I cried at home later that day. The next day, I watched my father who was suffering from cancer, die while on a respirator hours after going into cardiac arrest and into a coma. I didn't cry about his death ever. Some reason I felt more attached to Max than to my father. That dog was my best friend. We played together a lot and he was always happy to see me. My father always kept to himself, was in a bad mood, and ate dinner and watched TV in his room away from the rest of the family. Although he did pay the bills, I did not feel close to him at all. Is it sick or wrong though to value the relationship of a dog more than that with one's father?
