In the aftermath of a particularly heated clash<\/a> earlier Friday morning, The View <\/a>cohosts Sara Haines<\/a> and Alyssa Farah Griffin<\/a> cooled the Hot Topics table later in the episode when they shed a few tears over their love for their pets.<\/p>\n The panelists segued into a discussion about Mother’s Day celebrations for people with pets, which prompted Haines to reflect on the 2018 death of her beloved dog, Trixie.<\/p>\n “I still can get very emotional talking about them,” Haines admitted with tears welling in her eyes, as she discussed a photo she initially posted after the birth of her son, Alec, that showed her breastfeeding while Trixie sat watching on her stomach.<\/p>\n ABC<\/p>\n ‘The View’ cohosts get emotional while discussing pets<\/p>\n “Only someone who has loved their animal will understand this. I was days home, and I was breastfeeding,” Haines said, pausing to collect herself as she began to cry. “This is what I’m talking about. Trixie was my first baby, and I was trying to let her know that as I was adjusting, she was adjusting, and I wanted her to know that I still loved her, and just because I had this baby, didn’t mean I loved her less.”<\/p>\n Haines said she got intense blowback over the photo, too.<\/p>\n “People were like, ‘What a stretch trying to compare your baby and your dog to having two kids, please.’ I thought, you know what? What does anyone else’s journey and what they call themselves have to do with your journey? Nothing,” Haines said.<\/p>\n Griffin then jumped in to discuss being a dog mom herself.<\/p>\n “Dogs are absolutely part of the family. I think they’re the closest thing to angels on earth. As someone who is dealing with infertility and going through IVF<\/a>, Mother’s Day is a brutal day. Everybody has a baby and that’s all you see,” she said, also tearing up. “But then I hold these two little angels and I’m like, I have these loving creatures who, on my worst day, think that I am their whole world. Literally, I’d give years of my life to extend their life. I’d give a limb for either one of them, an organ, they’re the best creatures.”<\/p>\n Griffin previously opened up about her IVF journey in December 2024, when she said that her cohosts \u2014 including Haines and Sunny Hostin<\/a> \u2014 were helping her through the process.<\/p>\n Sign up for\u00a0Entertainment Weekly<\/a>‘s\u00a0free daily newsletter<\/a>\u00a0to get breaking TV news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews, interviews with your favorite stars, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n “We’ll get there and I’ll keep people posted,” Griffin said. “Sara Haines\u00a0has been just beyond supportive and helpful in this process, and\u00a0Sunny\u00a0has, too.
