Neutering & Anthropomorphizing

Some individuals who ascribe human-like qualities to their pet(s) may believe that their pet is experiencing an emotional state similar to what humans might feel. My best guess is that your husband has anthropomorphized the Great Dane, your family pet. I would agree with your Vet. Perhaps the vet could speak with your husband (if you are reluctant to do so), especially if you think he may be cringing at the thought of neutering your Great Dane because he himself likely would not jump at the opportunity to be neutered. This assumption, that the Great Dane would feel the same way, is likely unhelpful to the situation. It is a relatively simple procedure and can usually be accomplished in the Veterinary clinic quite easily. Otherwise, you run the risk of him injuring another creature or child because of his exuberant humping, or of inseminating a neighbor's pooch who did not want that to happen. As his hormones fall, the dog will alter his behavior in all probability. He will likely have a calmer and happier life.
