I'm not sure how much experience you have, Midnytedreams, and I'm sure Oz will respond to defend himself (quite rightly). I'd be careful about aspersions and the casting thereof, though!

However, your comment, above, is off-track in two ways. Firstly, Oz did not specifically compare a dog to a submissive - he compared a pet to a 'pet'. There is a difference.

Secondly, you might do some research on submissives and pet play. There are indeed people whose fetish includes human 'animals'. That is: some submissives become human puppies, dogs, cats, pigs, ponies. They are treated like and act as though they were the animal of their fetish and would take exception to your comment.

Pet play runs as large a gamut as any other kink in BDSM. My girl is called 'pet', we do not do 'classic' pet-play at all, despite the fact that when she goes deep into sub-space she loses the power of speech and yowls/purrs like a cat instead. The word 'pet' is a term of endearment between us instead. I know subs who spend considerable time acting like a dog - in all aspects of dog behaviour. I've never felt over attracted to that sort of treatment (far from attracted, truth be told), but then, that's not my kink.

As in everythiong, what works for the people in a relationship and is done with consent in acceptable.
