This is why it bothers me when people call me "dad" in reference to my dog. There's a difference between interacting with an adult human and a pet that many people like to think mirrors that of the interaction between an adult and a child. I don't have any children, but from teaching I have seen how disturbingly aware children are in ways that pets are not.
