Not at all. And HN posts are not required to be about programming or programmers.

Anyway, I don't even like dogs and I certainly don't have one but I was still touched by it.

Is HN really for trite, emotional, insubstantial stories about people who think their dog has a favourite pizza parlour though?

Seems more Reddit or pulp magazine territory to me.

I agree. I come to HN for tech-ish news. Usually it'll include things related to work/tech stuff, like the economy or employment laws, or whatever.

But when you're just softballing in "human interest" stories about pets then it's just reddit with less features.
