I would still think they would consider them a family regardless of their species orthe backgrounds they come from. They both share a common enemy and the same goals. Well, it's more than that, and I mean Slash and Splinter specifically. Slash's ninjutsu training derives from Splinter through his observations of Raphael. Raph's relationship with Spike as a pet was more like dearest friends and companions, rather than anything resembling parent and child. Now that Slash is a sentient mutant turtle who honors Splinter as his Master, it's fair to wonder if Splinter now considers Slash to be any kind of son&mdash;surrogate or otherwise.
