Growing up, I always wanted a dog, but my parents never wanted one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was young, I preferred dogs, but when I moved into a flat when I was 18, it wasn't practical to have a dog. So I got a couple of kittens, and that was it.
I have always wanted a dog, but we don't have anyone to care for it.
So I consider myself a dog person. Kind of. Had dogs when I was a kid, but my parents would never have dreamed of having them in the house.
I didn't grow up with pets, but I live alone and figured a dog might be good for me. His name is Drexl, and he's a shih-tzu.
When I left for college, my mom really latched on to the dog; She started buying him little outfits and calling him our brother, but that's as far as it got.
My parents wanted me to grow up around horses and open spaces.
I grew up in a house with dogs. We always had dogs. We always had a bunch of dogs, actually.
When I was growing up, I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn't have parents.
I've grown up with dogs and love dogs.
People gave me such a bad time about wanting a baby. I didn't want a baby, and I still don't. I wanted a dog.
