In case you're really interested (which I just have the feeling you're not--your trying pick a fight and flame this thread) I am my dog's "guardian," not owner. I could also say something like "Jane Doe is my friend." Does that imply that I own Jane Doe, too?

Stupid argument. Please give me another reasonable suggestion as to how to construct the sentence I used without using the word "my."
