Dog as child replacement fits too well for many western couples. There is very light care aspect included. Even bad illnesses happen and one must go to vet. With a dog you don’t need to do homework for two hours after hard workday. Nor plan children birthdays or vacations. Nor read primitive children books for hours on weekend. It’s perfect substitute without much effort.
Children are long term gain, first decade is rather hard. Teaching and training every day, hour, minute. If one wants to do it right.
On other hand dog might be better that a child hooked to a smartphone from an age of 2 years.
