“Pets are family and they should be treated as such. I think the most important thing people should know [is to treat] your dog how you’d like to be treated. Your dog is going to love you as much as you love him or her.”

T-Pain (1984) American rapper and record producer from Florida

Interview with PETA; as quoted in "T-Pain Teams Up With PETA To Remind Everyone To Treat Their Pets Like Family" https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/t-pain-teams-up-with-peta-to-remind-everyone-to-treat-their-pets-like-family-news.46218.html, HotNewHipHop.com (21 March 2018).

I didn't know what it was going to be; I just thought it would be neat to write something about Jack the Ripper's dog, and ask Gahan Wilson to illustrate it, partly because of the fact that a dog is such an unusual person. No matter who owns a dog, if that person is nice to the animal, the dog is going to love him. I thought at the time, if you take a really despicable person, a serial killer or someone like that, and tell a story from his dog's point of view it would make him look pretty good.”
