Crawford's statement detailed her initial apprehension about dog ownership. "I didn't grow up with dogs and, in fact, had been afraid of dogs since I was little as I got bit twice as a young girl," she wrote. Her perspective on dogs shifted after having children. "After I had kids, I knew I didn't want to pass my fear of dogs along to them, so we got two small dogs — that weren't too scary ;)" Crawford noted the positive influence of pets on her family's life. "What I didn't know was how much fun having little furry friends adds to family life. I loved watching my kids chase our dogs around or dress them up or just cuddle up together on the couch. And as my kids grew older, and our dogs too, their friendly presence continued to bring joy to our lives."
