Do you think the way people treat their pets reflect their child rearing abilities?

I've always wondered if you can tell how people will raise children by the way they raise pets. Some people consider their pets as children but at the same time - I think a lot of people will treat children differently. This is just a fun question and something I think about when watching my fiance with our dog.

    Yes I do think the way people treat their pets is a reflection on how they will treat/raise their children. Just like you can usually tell how a man will treat his wife/girlfriend by the way he treats his mother/sisters.
