I will elaborate more in the replies, just be nice.
Tldr… I hate how one of the most common advice you receive as a loner without social life or a partner is to get a dog. I’m taking care of a dog for a while now as a favour, since I’m unemployed and have “nothing to do” (my brother went to his gf beach holiday house for the summer with her, his daughter, my younger siblings and my mom, couldn’t take the dog, it’s old) and I’m miserable, I HATE this. I don’t wanna have to deal with any animal after this.
It really depends on the dog for me, and sometimes it’s less the dog’s fault and more the owner’s fault. My wife was bit and chased by a dog as a kid, so she immediately has issues with them.
The thing I dislike is the entitlement of owners that bring their dog into every business. It’s fine if your business has signs stating it’s okay, but I’ve seen people walk right into places with their dog and not even question it. For them, it’s somehow flipped in their heads and they think dogs are permitted unless otherwise stated. Then you have the folks that buy fake support vests for their dogs, which is just a dick thing to do. It undermines people that actually have a need for a support pet.
I’ve always been a cat person but I’m not the type that fucking advertises it everywhere.
I love my kids, their friends and other parents kids…eeeehhhhhhhh
I love my dog, other people’s dogs…eeeeehhhhhhhhhh
It just depends dude.
So true. I actually love dogs. Just not all of them. The same goes with cats, but I generally gel better with their personalities. Cats have always gravitated to me.
Animals are who they are, very occasionally one will be born aggressive. Otherwise their demeanor is a result of the humans around them.
I don’t dislike dogs, I dislike their humans for not “doing the needful” and properly socializing them.
