I’m
sick of the slams against kids by dog lovers. You’ve likely seen their
sarcastic jabs and warped logic in the form of bumper stickers and
forwarded jokes. “Dogs are better than kids because dogs don’t talk
back. Or borrow money. Or require college tuition. Or play the stereo
loud.” Their dogs are also smarter than your honor student.
Several
mainstream mail order catalogs offer pro-dog, anti-child (or
anti-people) T-shirts: “My dog makes me happy. You, not so much.”, “My favorite child has fur and four legs.” “The more people I meet, the more
I like my dog.” Dogs are much more likely to be compared to children
than are other types of pets, so naturally dogs will be the focus of my
backlash.
Now, I don’t have children myself, but I will defend them
against dogs and their besotted fans every time.
domain list . Thus:
1. Kids are the future of your country. Dogs are not.
2. Traditions and values can be passed down to kids.
3. Kids say “I love you” for real, unlike the farcical mutt vocalizations dog owners mistake for actual speech.
4. Kids can laugh at your jokes.
5. Kids grow up to become productive members of society; dogs grow up to
be the same butt-scooting, turd-eating, mindless barking scavenger
animal they always were.
6. Kids don’t regard the yard as a pooping zone.
7. Kids don’t mistake fire hydrants for trees.
8. Kids don’t bark at the mail carrier.
9. Kids can care for you in your elderly years.
10. Kids are our genetic legacy.
11. Kids have boundless imaginations.
12. You can play chess with kids.
13. Kids/people have the most complex brain in the known universe.
14. Kids go to college as students, dogs go as laboratory specimens.
15. WE WERE ALL KIDS ONCE!
As for dogs not doing the following annoying things, the money
borrowing, the loud music playing, the back talking, well guess what?
Dogs can’t fathom money at all. Dogs don’t know what a stereo IS. Dogs
can’t talk, let alone question authority. To give dogs credit for not
doing things they can’t even think about in the first place is junk
logic at its worst. What about dogs being happier to see you than your
spouse or children are? That’s nothing but mindless pack instinct.
If
you need a fawning groveling domesticated pack animal (selectively bred
to exhibit these behaviors) in order to boost your esteem, something is
wrong. Dogs are the path of least resistance. Children challenge us. Challenge is a GOOD thing.
