Well, In my experience the risks far outweigh the benefits. Plus I get all the companionship I need from my dog, just like Shadow. Yeah Shadow is a great character who for some reason or other follows the path of ripping out his own heart; maybe thats why they say "he'd slit his mommas throat for a nickel."

I have a doG, and I have a God. There is a scripture concerning the redeemed of today, It simply says "They were not defiled with women."
