If you ignore them all day, definitely. Pet ownership is a contract.
My dog gets to come along with me on most of my adventures, and I work from home. He spends the vast majority of his time with his humans doing stuff.
When I'm home and he's chilling in the backyard, he has his friends (dogs and humans) who visit him through our back alley, he has a rich social life.
I think he lives a fulfilling life.
I feel like my two dogs have fulfilling lives as well. My husband and I work different shifts, so they're not without a human for long, and when they are they have each other. They get a lot of outings.
