What a dumb thing to write an article about. Almost everyone I can think of who refers to themselves as a pet parent does not have children yet.

I sometimes like correcting people who play with my dog and start doing baby talk to her and saying I'm her dad.

"No lady, that's my dog.  I'm a human.  She's a dog.  Her parents are dogs."

Then they tell my dog she's got a mean dad.
