I like dogs like I like toddlers. It’s fun to hang out with other people’s for a while, but ultimately they’re annoying, loud, and make a mess. I feel like in the past 10 years or so, dog owners have become increasingly convinced that everyone thinks their slobbering, untrained mutt is god’s gift to everyone, and expects everyone to love it unconditionally. Dogs in restaurants. Dogs in stores when you go shopping. “Oh it’s so funny that your dog is jumping on me and getting it’s dirty paws all over me while it tries to sniff my crotch.” “Oh oops! Your dog ate my food off the counter, fucking again. Guess that’s my fault because in this house nothing is safe from the coddled fucking dog.” “Hey man can you watch the dog? It’s really easy, not like it pisses all over the floor and knocks the trash over or anything. We have to leave the house for 2 hours and it has anxiety/depression/borderline personality disorder and he’s a wittle special boy who needs constant attention.”
I’m just tired of it. Nobody gives a goddamn about your stupid dog. Stop bringing your animal to restaurants, it’s disgusting and inconsiderate. It’s not your child, it’s a dog. Dog people have made me hate dogs.
I agree, mostly.
My parents owned a kennel and bred and boarded and trained dogs, so we had at least a dozen or so full-time residents and generally another dozen or so being boarded and/or trained. I literally grew up surrounded by dogs and I’ve always loved them.
BUT, dog owners, at this point, are fucking awful, and that’s led to a whole lot of awful dogs, exactly as you so colorfully and accurately say.
You’re gonna be in the dog house over this hot take…
Dogs should be outdoor pets that live in the yard, as long as the climate is safe for them to stay outdoors. Indoor dogs are the big problem IMO.
Lmao what
If you leave your dog outside 24/7 you’re kind of a piece of shit and shouldn’t own a dog
Nope. You’re wrong and it’s normal for people with land. Dogs love it outside.
Yeah sure if it’s normal if you live on a farm and you consider a dog a farm tool which we’re clearly not talking about here. Leaving your PETS outside drastically reduces their life expectancy.
Don’t get a PET if you’re going to neglect it like that
That sort of life for a dog is fine for farmers with working dogs who spend their whole day outside working and their dog is with them being stimulated, doing things and getting attention.
Its not wether the animal is indoors or outdoors but the level of care and attention the animal recieves.
Nah fuck you, if you are the type of person who leaves your dogs in your backyard 24/7 barking non stop, filling your backyard with dog shit for all your neighbors to hear and smell than fuck you, you are a terrible dog owner.
Nope, I’m a great everything, and I’m better than you. So go fuck yourself, and enjoy this block so that you can never hassle me again.
Our neighbours across the road let their dogs roam; one has nipped at a neighbour’s visitor; they occasionally get out as a pack and topple garbages down our street. One of them poops on our lawn at night. They had a year-long ban on getting any more dogs and some taken away, but that’s expired. They’ve taken to letting cats (in)breed this past year, three litters in the past year. One kitten got run over last week, since they’re all allowed to roam free and obviously are foraging for food.
The owners are totally negligent and we wish they would get a perma-ban from Animal Services… or at least required to gate and fence properly.
I’m a dog owner and dog people have made me hate people 😂
