Dogs is social creatures.
That's why my almost 18 year old is pissed at me. She's already making plans on moving out (which I have decidedly mixed feelings about), and was wanting to take our little female Chihuahua with her (she claims it, but it's really a family dog). I shot her down because I told her it wouldn't be right for the dog to be stuck in the house all day while she was at class. Here, she has all of the other dogs to play with, can run outside without any worries of getting run over, and has somebody (human) around all the time.
