They truly are a part of the family, and are left in wills and given ceremonial funerals as well. It’s amazing the relationships people have with their pets.

I haven't gotten around to reviewing mine yet, but it appeals to my ADHD sensibilities. I see dog hair in the usual tumbleweed spots and I am much more likely to go for the Dyson hand held, than then drag out the big vac. Short bursts of cleanliness works best for me.
