Hell, I've seen people who love their dog so much that they not only let it sleep in their bed, but they'd probably MARRY the dog if it was legal to do so! ;-)

Personally, I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to...as long as it can be proven without a doubt that the dog fully understands the arrangement and gives consent to it. The dog could bark at the wedding when the vows are taken to say "I do"...and could wear a ring through its nose or perhaps on one ear.

This is one area of civil rights and equality that you DON'T see the most ardent liberals and progressives on this forum defending, and I think it's a disgrace. They should be ashamed of their blatant bigotry and prejudice. After all....THEY don't have to marry the dog, do they? And how does it affect THEIR own marriage if someone else marries a dog? Shame on them, I say! Shame! (Heh! Heh!)
