Would you blame the dog -
 

If this guy got his throat ripped out?



Im not sure i would. Im a dog lover, and yes the guy probably has a good relationship and trust with the dog, but come on man. If he was attacked there he'd only have himself to blame imo.

Cute video.

he was lucky not to get his head bitten off A rotty's bite strength is insane

There are a few of these videos

Yes,
dog nails must be cut
that dog may have been,
a baby with that fella.

Appears to be a nice respect.
Which is needed
with that killer dog.

If the dog was walked regularly he wouldn't need his nails clipped. I say.... let the dog eat him.

Horrible creatures

Not a fan of dogs, are you?

Always find a person who hates dogs suspect. Unless they have childhood trauma from a bite or something, then i understand. But other than that not liking dogs is just plain weird imo.

i don't think there is anything wrong disliking an angry, growling dog :laugh:

Finding people who don’t like the same things as you weird is even weirder. To some people dogs are furry bundles of assertive joy. Other people find them and their loudness a bit much and prefer cats or goldfish. There are 7 billion people in the world. Natural human differences shouldn’t be pathologised just because you personally have such a great affectation for one particular kind of animal.

I was reading a post on Reddit the other day about some guy (who was likely a troll, I’ll admit) asking if it was okay to let his dog take a dump on other people’s front-lawns so long as he cleans it up after. I’m not saying all or even the vast-majority of dog owners are like that but there’s a difference between having a normal attachment to your pet and letting it run wild in other people’s space and assuming that anyone who doesn’t like it must have a problem.

There are no "horrible" dogs, just horrible owners. It's not the same as hating a tv show, or sport. A dogs love and loyalty is 2nd to none.

How is it weird to find something weird though? I think Furries are weird, is that weird?

In your opinion. It ends there.

Some people like seafood, ginger beer and mushrooms (me being a prime example), others don’t. Some people like boiled eggs, others (like me) don’t. Some people prefer a cat’s loyalty and overall presence. Some people prefer dogs. Others prefer goldfish or hamsters. Humans are full of diversity and unique preferences and personalities and that’s something that should be encouraged, not pathologised or weirded-out. Surely you can understand why some people find dogs annoying.

No, not really, If you treat a dog right, hell you don't even really need to treat a dog good (even though i hate that) for it to be loyal to you, and love you. 99.9999% guarantee you, a dog will be loyal to you if you treat them well.

Some people prefer the loyalty of a good spouse or close friends. I don’t know what it is with hardcore dog lovers weirding out everyone who’s not like them. When exactly did it become a crime to prefer other animals and other forms of loyalty?

It was the "horrible creatures" i was referring to. You're talking about respectful, different opinions, likes and dislikes. Is every dog a horrible creature, iyo?

Not liking a dog is fine, but calling them horrible creatures is weird, imo ofc.

Far from it (re. your last sentence) but besides Clifford (for old times’ sake) and Brian Griffin I’m also not the biggest fan of dogs. I’ve only ever owned fish as pets and so that’s what I’ve been used to. Others might have grown up around pet dogs who they trained well enough and developed a love for them and that’s absolutely fine but being suspect about people with different likes and dislikes to you is just ridiculous.

We have been through this before anyway Redway, you seem to think im some animal nut. Of course i love animals, but im not some radical protester about it. You even compared me thinking racism was a lesser crime than animal cruelty. How you compared the two was actually one of the weirdest things i've ever seen on this forum tbh. How are the two in any way connected?!

Calling a dog a horrible creature is a weird stance imo. You can disagree with me, that's fine.

No more weird than calling brussel sprouts, tuna or marmite horrible. Some people like them, some people don’t mind them, some people really don’t like them. I can understand all sides. Generally I don’t go out of my way to call people “weird” just for being different to me in some way.

By the way, you did say re. MTVN’s post that even just-plain disliking a dog (not just calling them horrible creatures) is weird so.

I hardly remember that side of the discussion but whatever I did say about racism you must’ve surely taken out of context and went ’round the houses with. That’s fine but life’s going to be difficult for you if you get weirded out by people saying they find dogs a bit horrible. That’s MTVN’s perspective (and I’m guessing he was probably exaggerating a bit anyway).

So, using your own logic here, some people don't like other races, is that not weird? Thing is yes, that's an extreme example, but when you compare not liking brussel sprouts to thinking all dogs are horrible creatures, it weakens your argument.

That was far from whatever point I must’ve been making on that thread (I’d have to re-read it and I’m not trying to do that this sunny Saturday afternoon) but you knew that already, didn’t you.

Not everyone loves dogs as much as you. Get over it.

No redway, you jumped straight in to MTVN's defence, if he wants to tell me to f off himself, that's fine. But when you compare brussel sprouts and dogs, i can't take you seriously.

Remember the footballer who was filmed kicking his cat all over the kitchen? It's not the same as him kicking a brussel sprout all over the kitchen is it? You are putting animals, domestic pets, which are pretty high on the scale of things to care about, than say fruit and veg, on the same pedestal

I actually like dogs in general :joker:

I was specifically talking about rottweilers which I do think are horrible and should be tightly controlled. For me it's weird to have a dog like that as a pet especially if you have children or live in a busy neighborhood

I’m comparing brussel sprouts and dogs to point out that different people like different things (whether those things are animals or people). It’s not even like I hate the vast majority of dogs but I don’t have the same sentimental affection to them that’s always ready to take offence when someone dares to admit to not being as keen as dogs and assume that other people who think they might have a point are rushing to their defence. You really need to calm down when it comes to this whole dog-loving business. But knowing you you’re going to be like a dog with a bone (pardon the pun) because of how passionate you are about the whole thing and I just do not share that passion of pets that you do so I’m bowing out. Koppaberg awaits.

Well it's a ridiculous comparison. Just like your animal cruelty and racism comparison.

Anyway, MTVN just said he was talking about a specific breed of dog. Other breeds are obviously more aggressive than others. Using the word "weird" probably is triggering, i can accept that.

Also, i dunno why you can't handle my love of dogs? Also, you're suggesting im on here everyday talking about dogs or something?!

You really need to calm down when it comes to this whole ridiculousness comparing things that aren't even remotely related.

I like Rottweilers but I agree with you about having them as a pet if you have young children. Powerful dogs like that should be with adults experienced with big dogs only imo

Yeah, that’s nice, Swan. Bye-bye.

Bye.

Yes because Brian Griffin’s such a regular dog isn’t he.

If you’re looking for an argument about dogs, make your own original lines instead of copying what I say (that’s as lame as you can get) and making reference to anthropomorphic figures I already admit to having a soft spot for. Try and get the ball rolling for something new if you really have a new point that’s worth making.

Maybe you should change your avatar to a brussel sprout or something, otherwise you might give the wrong impression about your stance on not really liking dogs. Not everyone knows, or cares about Family Guy (which is a poor mans South Park anyway.

That stack of cards is about to crumble down. You sound utterly delusional.

Dogs are more loyal than most humans imo and my nanna always told me to never trust anyone who didn't like animals and through my life I have found very few dog haters,I understand if someone has been bitten by one ,but it is down to owners how their dogs behave,I myself have been bitten trying to part two fighting dogs,my fault not the dogs.

My ex had a Rottweiler when we got together and it was aggressive to other dogs, but humans it was fine with. My old Dad came to visit and it was so gentle with him which surprised me
