The most common cause of certain issues in dogs is their owners' unrealistic expectations for them to be like furry human children... and anxiety and the like is on the rise with human children too... maybe there's a common thread?

 

Seriously... why can't we just let dogs be dogs? Let them do doggy things instead of expecting them to act like humans to "fit in".
