Many pet-owners in Britain would describe their animals as being a part of their family. But for some people their pets become their family, providing something that other humans can’t. Two such people are Lyndsey Burgess and Emily Orsi.

In Happy Families, we learn the strength of their feelings for their ‘babies’ and just why these women’s lives would be devastated if anything were to happen to their dogs.

[b]Lyndsey[/b]

Lyndsey, a housewife from Cheshire, shares her home with three teenage daughters, her husband Steve and four very lively cocker spaniels. For several years Lyndsey nursed her parents through terminal illnesses. When they died Lyndsey found herself with a gap in her life so she got a puppy.

One puppy soon led to four and now Lyndsey lives for her dogs. As Lyndsey explains, ‘If you spell dog backwards what do you get?…God. They’re a godsend”. Her ‘girls’ - the four-legged ones - have kept her going through family illness and unemployment, giving her something she believes her husband and daughters can‘t. “They give you something to get up for when you don’t feel like getting up”, she admitted.

Lyndsey used to love dressing her daughters in frilly outfits and organizing birthday parties for them when they were little and now her daughters are growing up she does the same for her dogs. The highlight of every day is getting her dogs dressed in the morning and choosing what to wear from their ninety or so outfits.

[b]Emily[/b]

Emily Orsi is a glamour model who lives with her husband Enzo and five small dogs that she is absolutely devoted to. They want for nothing. She’s not ready to give up her flourishing career and start a family yet, so for now her dogs are her family. “They just fill the house with fun and piss,” she says adoringly.

Preferring the company of her dogs to humans, she appreciates that her “little rabble” love her for what she is, not what she looks like. She will do anything, no expense spared, to give them the best in life, believing that ‘they’re only here for a little while and I want to make their little lives as nice for them as possible”.

That includes stylish outfits, cooked breakfasts, Sunday roasts and hundreds of kisses and cuddles a day. Her latest project is to customize her brand new Smart car for her dogs, with leather seats and suede cushions embroidered with each dog’s name, thinking nothing of spending £1,500 if it makes the car more comfortable for them.

As soon as the car is completed Emily and Enzo take the dogs to the south coast for a good old-fashioned seaside holiday, just like she used to have when she was a kid. When Emily cavorts on the beach with her ‘babies’ people may stare, but Emily just doesn’t care. “It’s mainly rough old birds that say snidey things,” she says. For her, you can trust dogs, but not humans.
