Buster needs a dog that only poops in toilets though. Could be trained to do so, let's get Buster a dog.

Is your biggest complaint that dogs poop? I mean everybody poops my man...

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.

they cant wipe their own ass, and never will be able to. Unless it is on your carpet.

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.

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.

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.

nah, kthxbye

[max_boost]

What buster is saying is - don’t feed your dog and see how it goes lol

[2Legit2Quit]

To be fair I do love my wife.....and she's the person who primarily feeds me....

[JohnnyHockey13]

Funny how so many intelligent people in our culture put dogs and cats on pedestals... they're no different than most animals out there, they're food.

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.

Oh they CAN, but there's lots of things reasonable people CAN do that they still shouldn't.
