Mans best friend

This is all true. The reason that dogs were domesticated in the first place is that they were a very effective 'cave cleaner', eating any waste including human excrement. You really should not let them lick your face, share bowls etc. They should be kept outside. I have at present seven dogs. I only allow them into the house exceptionally.

 

I must say that I prefer them to some humans though, therir loyalty is endearing but is based on selfishness nothing more. Dogs are not human and should not be treated as such.

 

Some of my best friends have exactly the same attitude. Which is a very reasonable one IMO. I'm not a supporter of the pet idea because I think it is immoral when so many people are starving. Working dogs are another thing all together, and I tolerate this ownership. Dogs should be so well trained that a child could kick it without it turning on them, not even a growl.

Never understood why they are so intensely anthropomorphised. They're just dogs, like a fox is. Yet the fox is less likely to cause damage to the national economy to the same degree. Or rip the face off a 4 year old. (I'm no fox fan either)

Dogs are not patriotic, their doo ( I cant use the word I want to because the use of that selection of letters is considered more offensive than the substance it describes) contains a bacteria that causes 75% of diarrhea cases. Which in turn keeps British workers away from work. Thus damaging the national economy. They are carnivorous pack animals. Never to be trusted. We spend more on dogs than we do on African famine. They smell horrible. Their saliva, which they are kind enough to share with kids, contains doggy doo, cos hey they eat it. They can't be taken thank god onto many beaches, you will have to fund this hobby and employ dog sitters. They do not have the capacity for love, they have well adapted survival instincts (cupboard love) People (and this is the worst thing of all) actually think that their dog is more important than my children. Can I eat doo and lick your face? You'd kick my teeth if I did that to you and you'd kill me if I did it to your kids. so why is it cute when these abhorrent creatures do it?

Don't get a dog!

I robot the book/movie is actually about the enemy within...dogs. And so many are fooled.

I really shouldn't sit on the fence so much.

 

Just to clarify..... is that a NO then???????

I would say the loyalty thing is based more on a pack instinct than selfishness.

 

I do agree on the humanity issue. The majority of "dog problems" are founded in peoples misunderstanding of the pack hierarchy.

I do agree with you. The point I was making was that many truly believe that a dog 'loves' them when in fact it cannot feel such an emotion and really just sees you as a provider for their needs. In too many homes the dog is elevated to the status of pack leader (top dog), this is where the trouble starts.

Thinking about getting a dog. Never had one before so just a few q's about the pros and cons. Are they the great tie that everyone I speak to says they are? Are they the best companion that people say they are? Do we have the best job to have a dog. I'm guessing there are a lot of tree surgeon dogs that are happy to spend the day in the truck or on a long lead on a stake in the middle of mrs Miggins gardens. How do the clients react when asked if Rover can have a run in the garden etc. Generally....Dog ownership....Good or Bad????????

Thanks y'all

get 1 m8.mines so much fun to have around.chloe loves him and so do the clients,think ive had 1 client in 2yrs turn him down.perfect job for a dog.be careful tho nearly killed him when i felled the head out of a poplar.do it m8 you wont look back.
