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.

Or us dog owners crack on as we are and you lot get weirdly excited (?) about it.

@Onleemoi

please don’t crack on as you are dog owners as clearly some don’t pick up their shit!
should be a £1500 fine for anyone not picking up their dog shit

This is hilarious. Dog haters on here go on about dog owners treating their dogs like humans, when you are doing exactly that.
Dogs are not humans, so we don't hold them to the same standards.
Humans only wear clothing and don't piss in the street because of societal standards. We are literally brought up and taught to act less like animals.

@YeOldeGreyhound

maybe there could be special dog areas people can take their dogs? Cos let’s face it even when picked up dog shit is gonna leave a residue. Also if dog has upset stomach it may be impossible to pick up.
then it’s all contained and doesn’t infringe on the rest of the village/town

I see Hulk is also obsessed with arseholes - maybe these people are just obsessed with bum holes generally?

Us dog-dislikers aren’t the ones who find grasping a grim, still warm chod through a few microns of polyethylene a turn-on.

It should be like e-scooters etc, fine on your own land, but not allowed in public.

Neither are dog owners. Picking up after them is just responsible. We don't get turned on by it. There is something wrong with you if you think that.

We pick it up because it’s the polite thing to do. You lot seem to get a massive kick out of talking about it.

Given the prevalence of e-scooters, thats probably not the best suggestion!😆

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. 🐾💩

ShowMeTheSushi · 29/08/2025 23:17

These threads are getting weirder by the day! 😂

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! 🚿

HangryLikeTheHulk · 29/08/2025 23:20

Dog owners squeeze their animals anal glands. And have the temerity to call us kinky.

HangryLikeTheHulk · 30/08/2025 00:45

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
