Okay, but do  you chew your pets' food?  Do you yield your place in the house so that the cat can have the food, bed and control your tv viewing?  Do you push away all human relationships by putting your love the cats first?  Are they more important than people?  Being an animal lover is one thing, but this woman goes way beyond that!  She's more of a Pie Boy Worshiper, seriously.  The dog rules her life and she obsesses over him.  I'm sure there's something in the DSM IV  about this...

Dr Phil has never been judgemental with animal lovers. He is one, himself. He even bring his dog, adopted from an amimal shelter, to work with him. I believe in owning pets. According to studies, pet owners live longer. My husband and I have outdoor cats. Who come in the house and sleep with us when it's cold, or raining at night. But, Pam is carrying things way too far. Brushing her dog's teeth is one thing. But, chewing food and passing it from her mouth to his? That's beyond disgusting. 

I brush my dogs teeth and take him for a deep teeth cleaning once a year and to have his teeth checked for decay. It is the right thing to do as it can prevent loss of teeth for the dog and a healthier happy life for them   I love our dog  to death but in no way would I ever consider my dog to be equal to my children. This lady needs therapy or she will have no friends left and that would be very sad.
