A dog doesn't know Covid, it only knows whether you love it or not and whether you feed it enough and give it enough exercise so it doesn't act out (like pooping on your floor or carpet).
I woke up the other night to having had our dog poop on my dragon carpet that I brought back from Dharamshala, India where the Dalai Lama lives. I took it out of the closet and put it in front of the hearth of the fireplace and near the flat screen TV in the living room. Then the other night I found poop (luckily not runny) on my prized dragon carpet made of Yak wool and I was pretty upset that I couldn't leave my carpet there anymore. Our dog had sort of made this carpet her own especially if we were watching TV at night but I guess all that is over now.
So, there are good and bad things about having a dog but they are really mostly like having children that never grow up and stay with you until they die. Then you grieve for them like you would for another member of the family when they are gone.
Since 2000 4 of our dogs have died of old age so we had them cremated and I put their ashes eventually into the forest with the rest of the wildness.
