Analysis of They Love the Dog More
He gets hugs.
He gets kisses.
They love him.
Do I ever get a hug, a kiss, or love?
I clean up.
He takes dumps.
I vacuum.
He leaves hair.
If he died, they would be sad.
If I died, they would give my room to him.
I can't help but think it's funny.
They love the dog more!
