My dad has been in the veterinary field for almost 30 yrs and my mom was in for a while, too, till she got out 6 yrs ago. I also worked at our local Humane Society for a short time. I've heard countless stories of pet owners with more money than brains. Some pet owners abuse their animals with too much pampering. This one lady fed her dog people food, and it was people food that wasn't even healthy for humans. She'd feed her dog candy bars and food from McDonald's. She said she knew it wasn't healthy, but "ehen she looks at me with those eyes, I just can't say no." Her dog had to be put down because of kidney and liver failure, and my dad had to tell her she, in essence, killed that dog. People like that make me sick :P
