Dog Lovers MEGATHREAD

[Buster]

LoL!! Even worse - they made it look like you started this thread!!
:rofl:

I DID start this thread...but it had a better title before.

I'm more offended that someone would suggest I would be a dog owner. Dogs are filthy, and I am not a filthy person.

[shakalaka]

Whoever doesn't like dogs is not even remotely trustworthy as a human as far as I am concerned. I rather have companionship of a dog over 90% of excuse for humans that walk this earth.

Agreed.

I limit myself to the other 10 percent exclusively, although my number is substantially smaller.

I feel bad for people who prefer dogs to people. My friends don't expect me to pick up their shit like I'm their slave. They can also carry on a conversation and have opposable thumbs.

I feel bad for people who value their time so low that a dog is their best option.

[killramos]

I don’t dislike dogs. Dog people on the other hand.

I am not saying you have to own a dog, nor am I saying you need to prefer them over people. I get that dog ownership requires a significant level of selflessness and putting something else above yourself which not everyone has the ability/desire to do. But to dislike dogs in general cause 'they are filthy and you're not a filthy person', that's just a joke of a sentiment. My dog is probably cleaner, better groomed and better behaved than 90% of the humans/kids out there. Haha.

[Buster]

If a human behaved like a dog in terms of filthiness, we wouldn't even want to see them, let alone interact with them.

Dogs are filthy and disgusting.

We're just conditioned to ignore it.

[ExtraSlow]

What if you hate kids? asking for . . . .nevermind.

I’m pretty sure you have zero concept of what kids are actually like in real life :rofl:

[Buster]

Having three kids has taught me nothing of selflessness and putting something else above myself.

I ought to get a dog so I can learn that.

[shakalaka]

Anyone would/should do it for their own kid. That's not an achievement.

[Buster]

Anyone would/should do it for their own kid. That's not an achievement.

No, I mean the idea that having a dog teaches you selflessness in a way that is in a comparable universe to what being a parent teaches you about being selfless.

[shakalaka]

I would say both are very similar and on some levels much harder to do/achieve when dealing with an animal vs your own flesh and blood. Also, I am not making it about having dogs vs kids and which is better and which is not - both are rewarding in their own way.

[rage2]

I’d say take this to the dog thread but this is busters sneaker thread.

[Buster]

you actually think owning a dog is like having a kid?

srsly dude?

I would say in many ways - rest I will let you know in 6 months if all goes well with the our pregnancy this time.

Fully agree with Shak. You don't have to have a dog to be a dog person. I have no dogs, but whenever I see a friendly dog at the park and comes to me for a pat, it gets a good pat. Good doggo.

Dog people who are covered in dog hair all the time I can do without. It's called a lint roller, use it dammit.

To be fair, a dog doesn't expect you to pick up his shit either... He is happy to just let you wallow in it at your own pleasure.

I think you meant that to be insulting, but it actually just bolsters the point that he likes to be fresh and clean.

[Tik-Tok]

Spraying a "fresh scent" is the opposite of that. It's just covering up an odour and giving a false sense of clean. Unless it's bleach.

Either you have never owned a dog or are not a dog person.

A person is incapable of making this assessment unless they've had both. I know this because I have two dogs and two kids.

Despite the fact that at face value there are a lot of similarities, they are indeed different sports.

The difference though is dogs are a pain in the ass like a head cold is a pain in the ass. Kids are AIDS... They last your whole life

My favorite game when we are driving is pointing out the adult human, bending over at the waist picking up a steaming pile of warm, disgusting dog feces. We laugh. It's a family activity. My kids like to hang out with other peoples' dogs. Then they remember that buying a dog is somehow choosing to forego the merits of indoor plumbing, and they are back to being savages handling steaming fucking feces, (while people drive by them laughing at them).

Do people think that turning a bag inside out so that your skin is a fraction of a millimeter away from the steaming, wormy feces, is somehow less embarrassing?

[shakalaka]

Haha. I used to hate that part too but the positives far outweigh that one somewhat of a 'negative'.

And doing that I feel is still a lot easier and quicker than wiping a baby's poop filled butt crack and disposing nastiest smelling diapers. But we all gotta do that too.

[bjstare]

Of course they are.

But too many people feel that a person can't have the same feelings towards a pet like a dog like they would a kid.

When that is completely false.

Too many people (without children) think the feelings they have towards a dog are the same that they would have towards their own children. Physiologically, the response is similar, but a different order of magnitude for a kid than a dog.

Anecdotally, I have yet to meet someone with experience on both sides (kids + dogs) who disagrees with that. If you have that experience, and don't agree, let me know and I'll add it to my dataset. I don't know a single dog owner that would literally give up their own life to preserve the life of their animal.

[ExtraSlow]

You can surrender a dog.

[Buster]

You can't surrender children. Ask me how I know.

No, also that they are retarded. And humanity seems to have developed an evolutionary blindspot with respect to dog's pack instincts. They think dogs "love" them, when in fact they are just viewed as the pack alpha and a meal voucher.

"My dog loves me"

The fuck it does.

Their breath stinks.

They can't put on or take off shoes, which is a bare minimum expectation of people entering and leaving homes nowadays.

I actually have to disagree on that part somewhat. If you are not a dog owner you have not seen what emotions happen at times. I have a dog that literally cries and gets anxiety and will not leave the side of one of my kids when they would be in a deep funk moment. Cuddle up to them, lay their paw across my kids lap and literally do everything in it's limited power to try and comfort them, and as soon as a smile come on their face the dog lights up too and starts running around happy as all get out... Understand that they do this with the one kid only and I am the dogs Alpha in the house bar none.

Craziest thing ever, but definitely dogs can feel some pretty heavy emotion towards people.

[shakalaka]

Haha. Yup. All good reasons to not have the most unconditional, loyalty driven, protective and forever companionship and love. But we get it, you don't like dogs and I am not going to convince you otherwise, just as no one can convince me to not love them. I wish dogs had the same life spans as humans, my biggest complaint of dog ownership is how my pup won't stay with me for forever and call me a pussy but it fucking breaks my heart when I think about that.

The pack mentality strong, but its not "love" in the sense that humans understand it. That's just anthropomorphizing.

Ours is turning 9 this year and while we know we still have a lot of time we also recognize when she passes the house is going to be very empty and quiet.

[Tik-Tok]

Dogs absolutely love people. I don't feed our dog. I don't do dog chores. I barely ever even pet it. I provided zero services to the animal, but he whines and cries when I leave and goes absolutely apeshit happy when I get home.

So yeah, dogs are retarded, but they definitely do feel affection.

What if humans don't love in the way we think either, and we ascribe more significance to the concept than is appropriate....?

I likely know as much about dogs as you do. I've had several over the course of my life. I'm just saying it's impossible for someone who doesn't have kids to know what that's like. It's a reasonably straightforward concept.

Seriously though, that is true of every species, human, dog or otherwise. Take away it's source of life and it will turn on you. Thinking animals can't feel emotions in a similar way (not committing to saying identical mind you) is arrogance on the humans part I think. We just need to feel superior in every way.

I just concern myself with the ones I let into my care versus the ones that taste good and must die for my sustenance and consumption.

I like my dog, but generally dislike other people’s dogs unless they are smaller, well behaved, don’t stink and well groomed.

I had a buddy that had 3 large mutts and every time I went to his house it was so annoying with them jumping all over you and not giving you any personal space, and the house just always had that background stink. Fuck that noise.

[ExtraSlow]

Dog owners who's dogs jump up on guests should be shot and thier children sterilized.

[haggis88]

In a similar vein to Tik-Tok, I have tolerate a dog that I refuse to do chores for, but he doesn't show any kind of affection toward me when coming or going. When he goes, I will literally die on the hill of not getting another one...even if it means divorce

I think it's designed this large to also be used as a catapult. You want a solidly weighted end for when throwing it back at the person who didn't pick it up.
