To be sick of dogs in cafes/restaurants etc

[Dreamingi]

Just this really
obviously not service dogs

but why all of a sudden is it ok for dogs to be allowed places where others are eating?!?

Humans are Much more of a menace than dogs will ever be.

Well that’s handy for you. A dichotomy of you and dog haters(anyone not you)
Choosing not to anthropomorphise a dog or elevate them to a special status isn’t dog hating . At all

Fucking hell, me and the other poster were on about our dogs. How much she missed her dog who she lost recently, and how much I will mourn the impending loss of mine.

If you are going to comment snarky shit then a post like ours was not appropriate. Fucking nasty and not on at all.

Yes, people should only have pet dogs on their private property. No one needs to have a pet dog so 🤷

"I don't like dogs so I think the 30million+ people in the UK who do should be deprived of their love".

Fixed it for you.

But they do have pet dogs and pet dogs are allowed out in public. So...

No one needs to eat out, so that solves your problem.

Human menace? Show me the dog that’s undertaking life saving surgery,driving buses, creating vaccines,making art, making movies Oh wait? No you can’t. So spare us syrupy gushing about dogs and the demonisation of humans to prove your point

The vast majority of humans don't really do much either.

And my dog saved my life. I am here because of her. She is worth more to me than some random person on MN ever will be.

Show me the dog that's raping young children or abusing their partners. Murdering in cold blood.

Oh, wait....you can't.

You can have whatever opinions you want about where dogs should be, but humans are the ones destroying society (which we built, so that's just stupid of us) and the planet. Humans are not good things.

Nothing grips my shit more than precious parents who think their little darlings are more important than anyone else’s kids, dogs, family. Especially when, by and large, the dogs are better behaved.
Yes SIL I’m looking at you.

I know, dogs are animals, they can’t do anything other than be your ‘companion’ in return for food and shelter. That’s it. They are no different to the animals wrapped in cellophane in their fridges, or in their dog food tin.

Grips my shit?

That's a new one. Haven't heard that before. I'll bank that and use it soon.

I am sorry you have never had the bond that someone and their dog can have. I really am. You are missing out.

Are we really going to do this? Humans are capable of both cruelty and greatness . Humans innovate and problem solve in a way that a dog cannot. Humans are intellectually and emotionally superior to a dog. End of

I would argue the last point.
And it is because of that last point that humans are capable of the most vile acts too.

You can't tell us to stop demonising humans when humans do appalling things all the time.

Stop making out like we're the superior species simply because we have the ability to innovate. It's that ability that makes us terrible and more "basic" animals better.

I'm sad for you.

You’re fortunate to be tapping out posts on mn,on a digital device,sent by internet all possible because a human made it happen
When you get unwell will your dog treat & diagnose you? Or will that be a human menace who trained at their own expense to treat other humans

Not good humans have given you the relatively pampered life you live. Fresh Running water, free health care, internet, online forums, well stocked grocery stores, medicines, policing, local authorities, roads and infrastructure

Yep, and it is that last line (in the PP) that gets trotted out about people that are a different race or religion too. Otherwise we would not have wars.
Humans are fucking vile. We need to be more dog.

My dog enhances my life.
You should get one.

No! Poor dog.

True!

Be more dog? The dogs that are working to invent,innovate and maintain your online connectivity. Those dogs? The oncology dog?the midwife dog?Teacher dog? oh wait…hang on… dogs don’t do infrastructure or make stuff. Looks like be more dog is kinda flawed
