Animal Planet has a new show out called Puppies vs. Babies. This got me to thinking of the many similarities and differences between the two.

So without further adieu, here are some of the ways that puppies and babies are alike:

Puppies	Babies
Fat puppies are cute	Fat babies are also cute
20 minute rule applies – as long as they are safe – let them cry it out.	20 minute rule applies here as well.
Sleep a lot.	So do we.
Need a bland, easy to digest diet. A cute puppy does not guarantee a good-looking adult.	Same here, bub. A cute baby does not guarantee a good-looking adult

And here are some reasons why puppies and babies are different:

Considered an adult at 1-2 years of age.	Considered an adult at 18, but may never grow up.
Will be dependent on you for the rest of his life.	Will hopefully be independent someday.
Will never talk back.	Seriously?
Will always adore you. Live an average of 12-20 years.	Yeah, right. Will hopefully outlive you.

If you can think of some similarities or differences I missed, please comment below.
