The Insanity of Humanizing Dogs
The "Why I Hate Dogs" Series
Listen to this dog cultist discuss being attacked by her own dog on Youtube. The woman is attacked by her dog and requires 300 stitches. She says the dog was her “baby” and never showed signs of aggression. (Gee that’s a new one) The woman actually imagines that her dog attacked her because she said, “Mommy can’t take you today” . The level of denial and sheer stupidity is almost pathological. I just dont understand these people.
The video is no longer available (seems to be in Private mode now)
However this "love story" is bit similar and still includes the 300 stitches on the face. Graphic.

- Pathological is exactly right. Google ‘cognitive dissonance’ and ‘pathological altruism’.

- If you don’t want to be traced than it’s probably not advisable to solicit info on the internet. We’re dog haters; I don’t think anyone here advocates killing dogs except to protect one’s self or livestock; and that’s pretty much legal.

- I’m new here but finding this piece and the slobbering comments to it finally drove me to google I hate dogs, bringing me here.

Dog cultists- that’s a great one- buy in so much that dogs are people so they think a terrified child’s phobia of the family dog is an insult to the clan. How dare Dad think that the animal should be controlled when his child is around. How dare Dad question the suitability of this family as baby sitters and designated guardians.
Dogs are animals. There are those who have phobias of them. For good reason. It’s okay to have phobias of snakes, spiders, cats, birds, but of dogs? The child must be defective and corrected. Because dogs are everywhere. So are cats and birds, but they’d think nothing of that. Dog trumps child in their book.
Of course losing the mom is the cause of this child’s phobia of dogs. Because dogs are people, you know. There is so much armchair diagnosing here it’s amazing, yet no one questions elevating dogs to personhood.
Could have been the dog jumped on this child, but no one thinks of that. Besides, if anything should happen to the child, it will be the child’s fault for not being socialized to dogs. Whatever happened family priorities?
The child is the sane one here.

- I was interested to read ‘All dogs need crates …” Yes, they do – but here in England dog crates are not the norm. I have never been to the house of anyone with a dog who has a crate for the thing. Usually they have a dog bed lined with blankets and placed right next to the radiator so that it – their baby – doesn’t get cold. If I had my way I would crate dogs for 22 hours out of 24 (it’s done with human prisoners so can’t be cruel!).
-
- Any other animal the size of a dog would get crated, too. But no one cries about that. I’m more concerned with the conditions that caged animals endure in zoos. They are the ones who suffer abuse. Yeah, they’re perfectly fine with throwing humans into horrendous conditions, but doggie? Oh, no!!!
Dogs should be under strict restrictions too. And not this “under twenty pounds” where the apartment managers look the other way when people have dogs the size of ponies in one bedroom apartments but will complain about a large housecat. Cats don’t bark and run out and jump on people.
People who don’t have crates for their dogs and don’t use them when necessary are irresponsible. -

- Glycol or anti freeze will kill them. Its a shame laws give dogs and dog lovers the right to maime, kill, trespass and disturb entire neighborhoods.

- Incredible, denial. Why was the beast not on a leash? If the cop did as he this idiot says, the cop was not doing his job!

- A related topic:
Last night I watched the documentary Blackfish, on CNN. It’s the story of a killer whale (orca) at Sea World whose body count is now three people. They interviewed some former employees who sounded like dog nuts. The anthropomorphization of a 6 ton fish was ridiculous.
It’s obvious to me that those animals are prisoners going through their tricks to get fed, not the trainers’ ‘friends’. One of the saner ones admitted that she never knew what the great beast was feeling or thinking and that they’re not “cute and cuddly”.
It’s just a shame that people had to die before these folks finally developed some sense. -

- I do respect your opinion , I don’t agree with it but I respect it. My baby girl has never harmed a soul she has issues trusting people because of the shit owners she had when they dumped her on the street when she was a bit younger. Anyways, I agree with you when you say that some “Pit Bull” owners are idiots,uneducated idiots though you probably think I’m a idiot for having my baby girl. But if I wouldn’t have saved her no one else would have because of the stupid shit uneducated people say, such as “lock jaw” , born aggressive , etc. She would just have been a 7 week old mange ridden malnourished puppy walking in a wet ditch at 38 degrees in January then later end up dead. But I saved her and she saved me, I was at a very low point in my life at the time and she gave me a reason to keep going. Then a few months ago bsl almost took her from me. I had to move to a different location in my state just to keep her. How would you feel if the police came knocking on your door telling you that if you didn’t leave and take your dog that they, would take your dog and put him/her. When they came to my door my head started spinning, I was going to lose my baby girl , I was going to lose my house , I was going to lose my friends, I was going to lose a part of me. Though my life story probably won’t change your mind I hope you at least think about it.

- There is a story on Mail Online today about a man who became lost in the Canadian wilderness and ate his dog to survive. The comments are unbelievable! While I find dogs utterly revolting creatures I would eat one if it were a case of doing so in order to survive. But the puerile comments on this story are all along the lines of: “How can you eat a member of your family?” “I would rather die than eat my dog!” “Dogs are not to be eaten.” “He couldn’t have loved his dog if he ate it.” Most of the comments are written (or, rather, typed) in the semi-literate hand of the mutt lover. Only a very small proportion of them point out that the man had to eat his dog in order to survive. Please, dog haters, go to the site and leave some sensible comments!

- I doubt you have that many friends. If you were truly at a “low point”, where were they?

- That man’s dog was the true definition of a “service” dog………..

- I had a look at the link, and this jumped out at me: “His parents encouraged this meltdown [the child was scared of dogs and screamed when they approached him] and our dogs would end up banished to the gated back deck … Dusty our boy who would immediately back away to try and appease the situation while Gracie our girl would bolt in terror … I didn’t understand why members of our family had to essentially be jailed …” Look at the humanising of dogs in this post! ‘Our boy’, ‘Our girl’, ‘[he would] appease the situation’, and the crowning glory, ‘members of our family had to essentially be jailed’. Thank God for this dog-hating site.

- On the subject of BSL (Breed Specific Legislation), have a look at this: http://www.rspca.org.uk/getinvolved/campaigns/companion/dogwelfare/dogownership/bsl. The RSPCA in the UK thinks people should be allowed to own pit bulls and all the other fashion mutts that certain types of young bloke think will make them look like real men. They argue that it’s the temperament of the dog that matters, not the breed. (I should add that the RSPCA is not universally popular in the UK – not least from dog cultists, who oppose the euthanisation of any mutt, no matter how vicious, mange-ridden or past its sell-by date. And they’re not popular because of a perception – real or imagined, but I would bet on the former – that they fork out too much to their high-flying execs and on legal fees rather than on mutt welfare). Get this: “Breed specific legislation has not prevented attacks on people or animals or discouraged irresponsible ownership.” If many dogs of a certain type are euthanised, then they can hardly attack people! I would bet that there would have been far more dog attacks if so many now-banned mutts had not been put down. And irresponsible ownership has always been an issue, as anyone who has trodden in a pile of dog muck will know.

- A four-year-old girl was savaged to death by a French Mastiff fashion dog in Leicester, England, today. Pictures of the mutt show an animal as big as a Shetland pony, acquired by the family four weeks ago and kept in their flat.

- I cant fricken believe how attached people are to their stupid mutts. Whenever I go to somebody’s house who has a dog the stupid thing comes up, jumps on me, barks at me, licks me, and the owner says that “it likes me.” Well it obviously doesn’t like my clothes, does it? And when I ask them to put it outside, they respond by saying “That would be like asking to put a member of the family outside.”
In short, they think their dog is a fricken person. -

- Okay it is official humanity has hit rock bottom. Talking about killing dogs is one step away from being a serial killer. You are all ##### morons and need to be dealt some antifreeze or be caged 22 of the 24 hours in a day. #### idiots were you dropped on your heads as babies and lost sensitivity to morality. I hope someone takes their shotguns and paints targets on your backs and goes hunting. Shameful and im embarrassed to be a human because of you moronic assholes.

- What the hell would you know about “humanity”? Obviously you’re willing to have humans “hunted down”. As I always contend, dog-worshipers have their heads up their ass while having a foot in their mouths. Oh, the contortions you idiots go thru for dogs. But we’re well aware most of you lost your humanity a long time ago…….

- Have a look at this one on the Daily Mail’s website: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2530579/Loyal-dog-braves-sub-zero-temperatures-guard-body-dead-pal.html. (Sorry, can’t get link to work). A dog in China was run over and the comments suggest it’s an international tragedy. Another dog lies against it, and oh! the loyalty! Biggest load of crap I’ve ever seen unless you count what I trod in on a local footpath last week. Sample comment: “The Rainbow Bridge has welcomed another angel…RIP sweet baby.” And another: “I just cried. Dogs are so loving and loyal. Too bad I cannot say that for most people.” And so on. What on earth is wrong with these people?!

- Some lady I know has a dog that got attacked by a friend’s dog (latter is a labrador, or whatever you call them, but not an aggressive breed). The lady kept reassuring that her dog had never done that before.
Here’s what I conclude:
Either the dog HAS done it before and she is lying to mitigate the fact that her creature needs to be put down, or she was telling the truth which would imply that no dog is “safe.” Every dog can snap and it is not breed-specific.
Either case proves to me that we should not have dogs at all in cities. -

- First post! So glad I found this site!
What really grinds my gears is when I have a relative visit they insist I put my cat out of sight. However, when I go and visit said relative I am expected to put up with their dog. How is that fair? I respect their dislike of cats, but they just expect me to deal with their “baby”. -
-
- I’ve never done this to a dog! http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11202254 That was done by its OWNER. Dog haters typically don’t own dogs, so they don’t do this to them.

- I really have a beef with people that let their dogs run free in large busy places.
I mentioned this on a different page, but i was on a layover in Winnipeg airport in 2001, it was a friday afternoon, i’d say about 4 or 5 pm. I headed from the restaurant on the 2nd floor of the airport to go to the gate that my flight home was leaving, and i tripped over this medium sized dog that just ran out in front of me. now sinse i’m blind and can’t see, i didn’t notice the dog at all. even though i had the white cane that i use, i still fell face down on the floor. the dog then proceeded to nibble on my ear, and was on top of me. not to mention i had a carry-on, so it was hard enough dealing with that, but having a heavy dog on top of me nibbling my ear? i pushed it off, and the owner, a b**** of an old lady started shouting at me about animal abuse, and how “he’s just showing you love!” and “I’m calling peta on your sorry ass!” and such. I told her to put the damn thing on a lead, but noooooo! “he has rights, you know!”
I hope she did call peta, because i was only in the airport after that for about two hours, then i hoped on the plane and went home.
so yeah, idiots who travvle with their dogs and let them free in the busy airports and malls and such piss me off to no end. and i defy any dog lovers to justify this woman and dog and the possible calling of the peta idiots. -

- They’re taking over Facebook too. My entire newsfeed is stupid dog pictures. An ex of mine has PittBulls that make it onto Facebook with surprising frequency. Usually with a toddler sitting on top of them. People just can’t seem to suck enough dog dick. In my opinion, this is why people hate EACH OTHER. There’s not enough attention payed to strangers, or your neighbors.

- I’m blind by the way. I posted on the why I hate dogs page. But I feel compelled to write here also. Playing with dogs? like playing fetch with them? They slobbr all over everything. Yes I know that’s their nature dogs naturally slobber. But it just feels real gross and makes me with I had a whole bucket of sterilization chemicals to put my hands in to get the slime feeling off. Why would you want to play with something that makes everything its mouth touches feel and smell very ad and gross? I don’t like dog slobber for the same reason I won’t pick up slugs in the backyard in summer and play with them. Getting the slime off is real hard and takes lots of time and scrubbing and washing. I remember when I was in college. I had a professor who always asked why I don’t have a guide dog. He said it would help me out a lot rather than having to “feel my way across campus” with my cane. Just shows you even college professors can be so very uneducated and enamored with dogs also. My cane, gps, maybe a braille compass and my own skills are all I need to get around successfully whether it be in the city, a town, or mountains forests or wherever I choose to go. I don’t trust dogs guiding me. I feel like I’m not in control of where I’m going. It makes me nervous.

- This is what my walk is like in a rural neighbourhood.
The doctor’s dogs start barking like crazy so I wear headphones. Don’t run in case they get out and attack you.
Walk past the biggest Rottweiler ever snarling and barking at you. If that rope breaks, I am toast.
Walk up the concession to the farm, where I have to watch out for 2 schnausers and a Lab who attack me as a group regularly. One bit me and they still let him run loose.
Walk home again past the barking dogs and the Rotty to my neighbour’s dog. The previous neighbour had a poodle that regularly invaded parties, raided your plate, and stomped all over the fireplace.
And friends who brought dogs that had my old cat in it’s mouth – on my deck. Twice in a row. Without an apology.
They are gone now; now we have a very large Malamute with two very young children next door.
I don’t understand why people want to push the limits of human beings with their animals. -

- Why would anyone breed or buy a dog with a well-established history of vlolence? Why not get a pug or a collie? Nobody wants a dog like that for a dern good reason – it kills and maims people.
You are a very selfish person who is desperate for attention. -
- I hate dogs sooooooooooo damn much & also develop a fear of them due to being bitten as a child.

- Me too!

- God didn’t made dogs. The bible even states that dogs are evil beast to be avoid at all cost.

- Oh behalf of irresponsible and idiotic dog owners, I apologize. I want to punch some of them in the throat on a daily basis. And I own 4. Not all of us are crazy and delusional, I promise.
I understand that some people simply don’t like dogs. Some have been bitten, some are allergic, and some just flat out don’t like them. I don’t take this as a personal affront. They’re not people. They’re animals.
I have a very sturdy 6-foot privacy fence in my backyard. I don’t allow my dogs to bark and disturb the neighbors. And I keep the poop cleaned up daily because nobody else wants to smell that, and I certainly don’t like stepping in it.
When I walk them, I do not let them off lead. I don’t allow them to jump on me or anyone else. I don’t feel the need to take them everywhere I go. When we go places and cannot take them, they are crated indoors until we get home. If someone comes over and they’re uncomfortable around the dogs, I put the dogs outside or in their crates. I don’t have small children (my son is 15) and I think leaving small children unattended around ANY dog, no matter how well-behaved, is just asking for trouble.
While I realize I’m probably stepping into a gauntlet by even posting this, I just wanted to let you all know that some of us hear you and understand.
What I want to hear from you is what are your biggest irritants regarding dogs and their owners? What drives you the absolute most bats**t crazy? -

- Just been scanning through some of the posts.
I don’t wish to label those who own dogs as anything other than misguided and/or anthropomorphists.
That said, I do not understand why these dog lovers are so upset by the idea of humanely killing dogs.
If they are not vegetarians, there is no reason a dog should be treated any differently to a cow or a pig. Which we are happy to kill to eat.
If they are vegetarian then what to do they feed their dogs? Dogs are carnivores.
If they feed them on textured soya protein then they are abusing their beloved animal.
Ether that, or they are hypocrites if they feed them meat. -

- Oh man, that one line near the end there sums up EXACTLY how I feel about dogs and their owners… Hahaha, holy smokes I am dying of laughter and appreciation.
-
- Thankyou for existing. I finally feel like I’m not alone with this anguish. Since I moved interstate to the suburbs I’ve developed an intense and horrible phobia of dogs. I have frustrated so many “friends” and exboyfriends and am belittled all the time for it. I struggle to meet guys because admitting that you hate dogs makes you an alien. I think I’d fall in love instantly if the first thing someone said was, “dogs are so overrated” haha. I feel like I can’t go anywhere without bumping into one, I’m terrified to even walk down the street. It has gotten so bad that I freak out leaving my house to get in my car, I practically shake with fear putting the clothes on the line because we don’t have a closed in yard and we’ve had dogs run through it in the past. Dog people just don’t sympathise and are horrible about it, yet all their fears are justified. We had a dog once and it was by far the stupidest, most frustrating pet we’ve ever had. We’ve since had some beautiful guinea pigs, who were maliciously slaughtered by some stray dogs, the part that grinds my gears is there will be no repercussions and it wasn’t doing it to eat but just to kill, for fun. I’ve seen so much killing by these horrible, hideous beasts. We recently had ducks and they were wonderful pets too, friendly, non-invasive creatures and very beautiful. We planned to enter one in the local fair/show but, and you can probably guess where this is going… Disgusting stray dogs snapped its neck and broke the other’s wings. They are not kind animals. Not in general. More like bears, or lions, every now and again you might get really lucky and find a nice one, but deep down they are killing machines. If we were not a more dominant species they would kill all of us. I can’t stand reading dog mauling stories because the victims are not even remotely respected. I just get so bleeping angry. Beautiful little boys and girls, with horrible deaths, and the only comments are “think of the pups feelings!!!!1!!” I hate when people call ferocious beasts pups by the way. I remember reading about a little girl playing in her lounge room and a loose dog got inside and savagely killed her, in her own house!!!!!!!!! I cried because I can only imagine how absolutely terrifying that would have been. But, of course, who cares about her? Poor dog right? Give me a damn break. And seriously, I would eat a dog the same as I would a cow, (I probably wouldn’t because they’re freaking filthy and I’ve seen them eat their own shit, unlike cows) I like cows more, they are genuinely gentle creatures, but I eat meat and don’t discriminate against different animals. People who humanise dogs are the biggest hipocrits, and usually massive human-haters. Just. Ugh. I could rant all day obviously. Haha. So I just wanted to stop and show some appreciation, because I sure as hell can’t be out going for a walk or something, might run into one of those monsters 🙁

- IF ONLY. Dog people have dog brains though. Jump up and down on you and invade your space! Why look up ihatedogs in the first place if you’re a dog lover? To impose your thoughts and shove your dogs and dog-love in our faces of course, because we aren’t sick of them enough as it is.

- This website has saved me much emotional turmoil by the cause of the insanity that is being posted all over the net these days. You’d think Armageddon had arrived with the mere way people who love dogs act, placing them on a pedestal above their own families, while billions of child-slaves are tortured in the East-who cares, right? They’re not ‘dogs’ (aka gods[funnily, dog is the opposite of god]) and humans are evil. I admit it’s late and I have little time to post, but hence initiate myself as a poster at this site because it actually makes sense, and for once, does not make one feel like FILTH just because one disagrees with being hated for NOTHING. I greatly appreciate the work the mods and posters have put into the creation of this site, as I feel it serves to create some mental stability on my part. Kudos to logic and respect!
Oh, and my name is LovetheUniverse because I have a love and respect for everything that does not hate me for absolutely no reason, which is what dog lovers do; and so, I do not have a hair of respect for them.

- good to see there’s still reason and logic in this dog whorshiping society. I believe there are good dog owners and there are some dogs who do serve a purpose – i.e. police dogs – just like cows, horses, or any other tools people utilize. But the idolization of pet dogs is getting out of control to the point that many people value this animal over people, this is sad and terrifying.

July 18, 2014 at 5:53 pm
- Note how moronic dog owners no longer take their animals for walks these days, but let the dog take them? What I see are these people waling down sidewalks and allowing the dog to zigzag from one side to the other, giving not thought or care to oncoming pedestrians who have the right of way. I’m sorry, is your dog royalty> Is the rest of the population supposed to stop or change sides of the sidewalk to accommodate your animal? What about those who walk on one side of the sidewalk, then have their 10 foot leash and dog go all the way over to the other side, forcing everyone to have to step over the leash or get tripped? Your dog is not your ‘baby’! It is not royalty! Keep to the right and keep your bloody animal at heal beside you!

- I hate dogs to the point that I wish they didn’t exist at all. My aunt is a typical dog lover who calls them her babies. I’ve tried to explain to her that just because I hate dogs doesn’t mean I’m a bad person. Allot of dog lovers say well, if they don’t like dogs I wouldn’t trust them. Lol I love my kids very much but the thought of a slobbering, flea infested barking wormy shedding smelly dog just down right makes me sick!! My sister has gotten kicked out if places because of her dog and she treats her dogs and seems to show more love to them than her own children. She says I will never understand because her dog is like a human and speaks to her. Oh my god really?!!! The dog is aggressive and she has to keep her kids away from it so they won’t puss it off. Why in the hell would you take a chance on your kids safety for any animal!? Anyway I hate them and the dog lovers need to keep their barking ass filth away and out of site!

- Greetings, dog haters. \
finally got some outside help on this. I don’t really hate dogs. I hate the way certain people behave around dogs.
Dogs do not really like to be put in purses, painted with nail polish, or held constantly and treated like an infant, but people do it all the time. We knew that.
But it’s people who encourage bad behaviour that are morbidly intriguing. The mother that pushes her toddler in front of a large malamute and films herself; the woman who loses control of her dog at a picnic and says, “What can I do?” smiling sweetly ; the endless stream of pitbulls on Facebook “proving” they are gentle, misunderstood, and noble….all markedly antisocial people, putting friends, neighbours and family at peril despite their protests and obvious danger
And like all good narcissists, they don’t really care about the dog – they’d train it if they did – they just want an excuse to be the center of attention – at the expense of the dog. After all, they can always put the dog down and get another one. -
December 3, 2014 at 3:53 pm
- gonetothedogs, you seem like a good dog owner and I’d probably like your dogs. I thought I liked dogs until I started dating someone with an unruley, untrained, disorderly, disruptive dog. The dog barks far too much, bullies for food and attention, and begs. It’s unnerving to be around! The owner is oblivious to her dogs bad behavior and even rationalizes the dogs bad behavior. She defends this creatures behavior and ultimately encourages it. She says “my dog’s behavior doesn’t bother me.” Meanwhile, other people have to suffer.
This is the type of stuff that makes people hate dogs. -

- When I was small a dog walked up to me and bit me. Just like that.
Later, my mother, an animal lover bought a mastiff that used to growl if you walked near him whenever he was chewing on his bone, the very bone YOU gave him.
After a while I got used to dogs and even came to love them untill tonight. My landlady’s dog (I rent a room in a house) nitherto friendly mutt bit my face while I was petting it.
If he were my dog I would have beaten him within an inch of his life and then starved him for couple of days.
The current situation is ridiculous. That silly dog is friendly and normal 99% of the times, then something clicks in his pisspot brains and he bites.
He is never punished, only scolded. -

- I used to like dogs as a child. It has changed since my child was attacked and almost killed by a nasty pit bull at the public park. We were just walking, not that I should have to clarify ANYTHING, since humans are allowed to walk in a playground and not be killed by canines. At least they were until recently.
We were lucky, the dog tore up my sleeve but the owner managed to get it on a lead before it could kill my toddler. She then proceeded to tell me that my child needed to be on leash.
Logically, this would not have prevented the attack, but any of that logic stuff doesn’t seem to work with these people. Are they brain poisoned? What on earth is going on?
We have had many other incidents. Even today with a small terrier dog, the owner is an acquaintance who says her dog is friendly. Oh, so friendly! She encourages small children to pet her friendly dog. Then her dog picks up a stick, and suddenly the dog needs 5 feet of space between it and the stick so it doesn’t attack.
This is not a friendly dog. I come to the realization that my acquaintance is insane. Good to know….
I never touch dogs anymore. I’m polite, but as soon as I find someone owns a dog, especially a pit bull, I make a mental note that we won’t be good friends. I don’t want myself or my children attacked. There are too many stories. This is an especially heartbreaking one:

Here is another. There are literally books of stories like this out there:

- thank god for this site. what unnerves me is how dogs are kissed and cuddled when in my mind it was always obvious dogs don’t enjoy being kissed and it’s the owner using the dog for his strange needs, dogs are gross as hell and owners don’t respect the instinct and danger of dogs, they don’t see them as animals, they see them as children and it makes me sick to my stomach. Entire industries for dog food and toys sit behind this screwed-head owner mentality and it’s self-reinforcing, this “dog obsession” in our nation is destroying romantic relationships, replacing people for dumb animals, it’s out of control it’s everywhere I don’t wanna deal with it I don’t want dog hairs on my clothes or food I’m stuck with these dirty creatures because my boyfriend loves them but I can’t even say I don’t really like dogs without being treated like I’m a psycho, what can we do to bring down the “dog obsession” and bring things back to normal??? I don’t remember this dog thing being so bad back in the 90’s, I don’t know what the hell has happened but it’s getting worse and I need creative ideas on how to prevent this from going on and on

- Dear Kiwi, I too was involved in a relationship with a dog person that ended a year ago. He had a 130 lbs beast that would bark and try to sit in between us when we hugged or kissed, he would piss on the living room chair every other week although he was trained to piss outside. He needed constant attention and was a nervous wreck. He would lick and bother you while you cooked food or eat anything in the house. My bf would take him on rides in the car and he slobbered on us and tried to lick my face non stop (so gross). He overall didn’t listen to me although I pet him, gave him treats, watered him, fed him and took him outside and tried to make friends and even my bf had issues with him. He growled at me on different occasions when I tried to get around him so I can get to a different room (even tho I gave him the bone) and it shows how stupid this animals are and people are still falling for them! This dog was a mess but it was my bf’s ”son”.
Towards the end of our relationship, I asked him who would he save from the fire if there was one in the house, me or the dog? He answered the dog because the dog cant save himself by opening doors etc. Are you kidding me?? Saving a dog over a human? Needless to say, I am happy now with my new bf and we don’t have any dogs. I see dogs as parasites that leech from humans and they offer very little in return. Their place is on farms or police/rescue not on a couch slobbering all over the furniture and stinking up the house doing absolutely nothing. If I was to get an animal as pet I rather get a pet pig which are a lot smarter than a dog and they don’t maul people! -
- It’s because they’re such wimps that they can’t protect their families themselves. So they get a huge dog to scare people away. That, and being antisocial it’s a great way for them to keep strangers away.

- When i was a little girl i was terrified of dogs, at the streets or houses, now i am angry about the responsibility of the owners they are not babies and not everyone want to be around them, my sister adopted three dogs a two labratos and a little one, i was terrified to go home every day and furious about the smell, the noise and the responsibility. She get married and every time she came to visit my mom she bring the dogs because they are her daughters, i thing all that behavior is weird but they make me feel like i am intolerant.
