Dogs everywhere!

[WilmaFlintstone38]

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.

Yeah, great isn't it 😁

@WhatATimeToBeAlive

no, it’s shit.

YABU

I took this floof to the garden centre cafe yesterday morning because, well, it’s allowed. He was a good boy and very much less disruptive than the two dickheads who had set up their laptop with a PowerPoint presentation and were conducting a business meeting at the top of their voices.

My two on the train to St Ives trying not to bark and scare anyone or get under anyone's feet 😣

Sigh!

One is a wolfhound cross (we think!). He's a rescue 😊

The upside down one is 1/3 lurcher, 1/3 GSP and 1/3 complete moron 😁

Well trained dogs and responsible owners are ok, but there’s not many of them.🙄

I hate dogs around food though. In shops or eating places. Just yuck.🤮

Gotta love an old lab

I actually like humans but I am sick of litter everywhere. On pavements, in fields, beaches etc. It's terrible in the UK, in other parts of the world it's not such a problem. So for that reason I think humans should be banned.

👏

😆 🤣

☝I detest people that drop litter.

I dont mind dogs but please clean your dog’s shit up. Its vile.

I agree with you on the town centre thing. I've taken my dog into gifts shops when we're pottering on holidays and into a million cafes (although, space and weather permitting, we prefer to sit outside even in winter) but I cannot think why people take them shopping in town centres!

Do you have any evidence for the UK being worse than other countries for litter? That's not my experience at all. For example, I was in Spain last year and it was disgraceful.

Dogs aren't the issue...humans are, so get the target for your hatred right.

My dog is a mischief making scamp, but I love him more than many of the humans I have come across. He has filled a gaping hole in my life (as did his predecessors). He has made me happier , healthier, poorer and more exasperated, but he has been worth every penny and swear word I have spent on him! This world needs more dogs alot more reliable than men.

Hear hear. The middle ground gets lost with the extreme views on either side.

People and dogs coexisted ok for years. Things have changed since the pandemic and some consideration has gone.

It’s a shame that all these people dislike themselves so much and are clearly surrounded by awful humans. The people I surround myself with are great company and lovely!

Humans are a much bigger pest problem.

Just here for the dogs

No it’s because dogs don’t destroy their own planet.

All of mine would be sniggering if they aren't committed to their daily 22 hour power naps...

Hard agree.

I have only ever had negative experiences with dogs. Here's a partial list:

A dog ran under our picnic table, stuck its head suddenly up between my (then) toddler son's legs and tried to steal his sandwich.

A dog tried to bite the (pooed) nappy off my (then) toddler son on a beach.

A dog ran into a beer garden full of kids and went beserk terrifying mine and other kids. Nobody claimed it so I grabbed it by the collar and marched it out on its hind legs (to shame it). MARCH OF SHAME DOG. Someone pointed out I was "choking it". DIDN'T CARE.

I once stood in a cold dog turd on Hemsby beach.

A dog ran out of the boot of a car and chased me while aggressively growling. I turned around and yelled CUNT at it. Owner was distraught.

I was working near Athens and went for a swim in the sea before work. I took my hotel towel with me, left it on the beach. As I was swimming back in this massive Alsatian was approaching my towel, eager to piss. I grabbed a rock off the seabed and flung it to scare it off, but IT PISSED on my hotel towel. My white hotel towel was saturated in flourescent yellow DOG PISS looking like the canine FUCK had overdosed on BEROCCA. Now I had to leave my pissy stinking towel in the hotel room bath for the staff to deal with. PISS DOG.

A dog jumped up and dug its claws into my chest when I was running at York racecourse last year. The owner was looking at his phone. Should have STOVED ITS BOLLOCKS IN.

Yeah. I would go full PINOCHET MODE and yeet ALL DOGS out the back of a C130 Hercules or A400M (I'm not fussy) over the North Sea and call it the #foreverswim.

The problem with dogs is dickhead people as well. Those who just leave them to bark and don't look after them properly.
