I tell my dog every time I leave the house to go to a clients that i have to go so I can buy her food, toys, and have money to take her to the vet. She has cost me at least $1000 every year since I have had her in vet bills. Things like:
Bot fly larva and to be removed
Severe vomiting and diarrhea because dogs eat things they should not. (Emergency visit, fluid pack, x-ray to make sure there is no obstruction, medication)
Injuries
Teeth cleaning
Kennel
yearly office visits (blood work, vaccines..)
Of course all the unexpected visits seem to ALWAYS occur when there is no money and I have to charge it and then sacrifice in other areas.
So my $500 dog has cost me $11,000

Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
