A child can endure poverty and lack of social standing, and minority skin color, and still be a happy, positive, wholesome child, on one condition. Kids have amazing emotional intelligence, and they know intuitively whether their parent love them or not, unconditionally.
Most children that are loved will make it and thrive, blemishes, and sorrows notwithstanding.
When children are unloved, they go through life with low-self-esteem and carry a large amount of rage and self-loathing with them. Where one is unloved, the world had best beware, for a moral and perhaps criminal monster will strike out at society as revenge against a cruel world that betrayed and turned on them in his tender eyears
Similarly, dogs know if they are loved. And they know if they are unloved, and they will not abide be slighted and ignored. I know two dogs that kept breaking out of tall fences and running away because their owners did not love them, spend time with them or play with them.
Not being loved is a terrible act of abuse, hostility and disrespect, and the victim will respond in a quite negative way.
