I love my dying black Labrador and comfort and pet him a lot. My woman friend says "why don't you pet me like that?" I explain that the dog is capable of accepting love and showing thanks without talking back or criticizing. So in effect I love the dog (his name is George) more than people. Is that bad? Is it a reflection of my personality problems? I will miss him. What do you think?

I think it is entirely possible to have a deep and abiding unconditional love for your pet. I also believe the love a person feels for the pet, while it can be just as strong, is a different type of love. If you think that your lady friend is criticizing you and talking back then maybe she is not the right woman or it is your personality problems in action. It's probably not the girlfriend.
