In these days, the definition of family is no longer limited to the parents and their children (referred to as the nuclear family).
Most of us have extended families, including grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc.
I, for one, grew up in an extended family environment.
But this kind of family doesn't not only include relatives but also, for some, it includes pets.
We take care of our pets just like we would our own child.
I even know a kid who included their pet in his family tree!
And if you are lucky (or you just have a good trainer), your lovable creatures might be like the dogs in this viral video.
Your pride and joy might become stars!
nuclear family - family consisting of father, mother and their offsprings
conjugal family - family consisting of parents, offsprings and grandparents of a marital partner
pride and joy - someone or something that one is very proud of
