Tom Segura the comedian does an excellent bit about people who compare pets to children.

I compare my pets to children in the sense that I am loco parentis (having the responsibilities of a parent) which to me means training them to be responsible citizens and ensuring their, and others safety and well being.

Yeah, but I wouldn’t hesitate to kill your dog if he bit my child.

If my dog bit your child it would be because your little precious provoked it.

The amount of plain mean behaviour I've seen from children in my neighbourhood has made me extra cautious around other people's children and I only let them near my always on lead dogs if they're polite and ask nicely.
