I’ve linked the first article I found after a 3-seconds search, since I assume basically everyone to already have a lot of anecdotal evidence about people spending insane amounts of time taking care of the pet (usually a dog). For example, in recent years I’ve already seen several times people walking their dog in a stroller, in such a way that from a distance you’d probably assume there’s a human baby inside. If that doesn’t scream “I’m using a dog as a substitute for a child”, I don’t know what does.

I guess this is partly a cultural thing, I don’t recall ever witnessing that in Finland.
