With January recognized as Walk Your Dog Month, it feels like the perfect time to celebrate the bond we share with our feathery, furry, four (or two) legged companions. We asked readers, “If your pet could talk, what would they say about your household?” From dogs who think they run the place to chickens with sharp wit, the responses came pouring in—insightful, heartfelt, and a little silly.
