I need your opinions

Is it rude to bring up your dog after someone is talking about their kid/baby? For example, “my baby did this yesterday for the first time! It was so special” “oh that’s so cute! Congrats! I remember when my dog did this for the first time. It was adorable I’ll never forget it”

I’ve done this a few times and have had a couple people look at me weird, like “how dare you compare your dog to my child”. It makes me feel terrible 😩 I’m just trying to be apart of the conversation and not sit there silently.

Since I have reproductive issues and can’t have children, dogs are the closest I’ll get to raising a child. I don’t mean to be rude. What do you think?
