Kids, family and lovers come and go. A pet is forever.
In the past 14 years I've had two wives. They are gone.
Still have the dog.
Could care less if you get along with my daughter. If you don't it is because you are both pains in the ass. Who isn't?
Don't get along with my dog and you are history. He's smart and can smell you are full of sh**t.
He was here before you came and will be after you are gone.
