When I was growing up, we almost always had a dog/cat/fish, or some combination of the three. My mom always made sure we had animals to take care of. When my mom got re-married, my step-dad was of the "old school" thought and always made our dogs stay outside (unless we could sneak them in).
In my opinion, as a pack animal, dogs should be with their people as much as they can. They are part of your family, they should take part in your family activities! If you aren't willing to share your life (instead of just your time) with your pets, why should they be willing to share theirs with you?
But that's just my opinion.
