In shops and cafes, barking and making people jump, tripping over them in the street... Seems everyone and their Auntie Flo has a dog nowadays.

After a lovely long countryside walk to a beautiful country park where I indulged my dogs and enjoyed a coffee outside by the children’s play area; I am at peace. I can even pity poor Hangry. I’m sorry she has had bad experiences with dogs. I just hope that she doesn’t suffer similar from a man. Proportionally, women are far more likely to suffer sexual, physical and emotional abuse by a man than they are to be bitten by a dog.
My dog will protect me from that.

Absolutely.

It’s common that dogs start eating their dead owners faces if they die at home and the body isn’t found for some time. They don’t give a shit.

It common to hear stories like this below. You talk rubbish.

  • Jack Russell Terrier (Colorado, 2023):
  • A small terrier stayed by the side of her owner for 10 weeks after he died in the mountains, losing half her body weight but ultimately surviving.

I have never posted about things being better in the eighties. Literally never. Or badgers. Baffling.

I do have a long list of shit experiences caused by dogs though, which no amount of therapy could reverse - they actually happened.

If I die alone at home I don’t really care if my dog eats me to survive. That behaviour is more common in cats though.
You’ve not responded to my comment on how valuable service dogs are.
I think you need therapy for you deep rooted hatred of dogs. Is this something you would consider? It would be life changing.

That poster won’t pay any attention. They’ve a very black and white way of thinking - they comment and change names all the time. They bang on about how it was better in the eighties when there were less dogs and less better behaved dogs and the ones around were just roaming free and how they’d prefer to see badgers roaming the streets instead (bc of course we all know how much more friendly and less likely to attack a badger would be 🤣). Best response is just to have a chuckle at how ignorant they are.

I must say though that I’ve never seen so many anti dog posts that are focussed on dogs bum holes. There does seem to be a bit of perversion and kink on this thread.

Ad I’m typing I’m at a dog friendly cafe with my girl, she’s so well behaved. There’s at least another four dogs here and they’re as good as gold. It’s so lovely. It’s a shame the haters don’t embrace it - they’d find a lot more peace in life. Imagine what it must be like to live with people like them.

Service dogs contribute to society, and don’t spoil a day out. Unlike the playthings.

“Some 73 percent of cases involved bites to the face, and just 15 percent had bites to the abdomen—which is the area of their prey's body usually consumed in the wild.”

So do cats. They need food.
By the way, they tend to nibble finger tips and ear lobes. They don't eat faces.

And people have been known to do the same.

lol, how do you know?? Animals can’t talk so they might think all kinds of bad thoughts, and want to be around you only for food, you just don’t know.

Some animals are natural, and some are fake freakshows bred by humans for their own amusement, and whose original purpose has now been made redundant and they exist purely as playthings. Dogs as we know them today would not even exist without humans.

I have no issue with wild, natural animals. But creating a massive population of invasive genetically engineered creatures as playthings which are an overall burden on society is not my idea of fun.

Unfortunately for some, there are animals on this earth not just humans. A lot of them a lot nicer than some humans.

Dogs are all bum and teeth. There’s nothing else to them.

I think returning to the structure of school and doing homework will do you good. Not long to go!

This really is the most ridiculous statement. Just because you don’t like dogs at all doesn’t reduce them to bums and teeth.
The very many benefits of dog ownership have frequently been pointed out but what about service dogs? Just above their teeth is a wonderful sensory organ that can sniff out drugs, some illnesses, dirty money and criminals. They go above and beyond to protect people and save lives in earthquake and bombed conditions. There are service dogs for blind and deaf people, therapy dogs for people with autism and other conditions. Dogs are massively important in many ways in our society, (I’m talking UK as that’s where I live).
As for poo and bums; well I’ve worked in hospitals and have wiped many a human arse. It wasn’t pleasant and sometime utterly revolting due to illness or dietary choices but poo is a fact of life and needs dealing with.
Your ignorance is staggering - ignorance is not an opinion. Maybe you should look to live in a country that is less dog friendly but you might find that street dogs, in that situation because of humans, not only fail to clear up their poo but might be aggressive and might steal food.

Obsessed kinky anti-dog clan — first poo, then bum, now doggy ice cream. This isn’t OnlyPaws, it’s MN. Go take a cold shower! 🚿

It is on another thread, but there is an explanation about how dog's bum holes work so they are not dirty after having a poo.
And why is it people who are not a fan of dogs are always obsessed with their anuses and excrement?

Exactly! The constant rejection from humans who choose dogs over them, mixed with a lack of reality check and caffeine withdrawal, has clearly done a number on them.

Funny how they claim not to like dogs yet spend so much time obsessing over their bum holes and poo. 🐾💩
