There’s a decent argument to be made that keeping pets is essentially slavery: animals’ entire existence is predicated on filling their owners psychological needs by appearing to be happy/cute/cuddly, without any right to live as they naturally would, keep their bodies intact, etc.
Not a fan of dogs, personally. Agree with OP, I find them to be very dirty. Don’t like the hair, the smell, the drool that they bring around with them.
I am scared of dogs. One stray bit me as a child and I could never got over it. I see they are like family and they are super loyal to their humans.
I can never get over my fear for them. They also seem to be a ton of work - managing their pee/poop, hair shedding, grooming /managing body n mouth odors, cleaning up after them constantly, etc. I can see why people love them and I like wholesome pics, people enjoying their time with them, loving them, etc. I can not see myself as being a pet owner though. I only feel bad that it is expected that we all love dogs. People can have other preferences but I am judged badly when I avoid them on walks or don’t bend down to pet them, etc. I feel uncomfortable because of this.
My shiba is very independent & it feels like we're cuddling her more than she cuddles us 😭 so very low maint in our opinions but high maint in stubbornness haha. They only require a bath 1-2x/yr or it'll be tough on their coat so they're extremely clean from what we know & research similar to how cats don't get bathe often. Just comb to reduce the shed. Love her to death but she always have a resting b*tch face of how annoying we are ☺️ she's a small hunting dog, she'll catch rats & stuff which I've seen.. Gross.
But seriously, I was at a park this weekend and there was a man with mic and loudspeaker lecturing everyone in a .5 mile radius about Jesus, Heaven and Hell. Everyone ignored him, until I heard him say loudly and clearly, "Dogs are not man, and not from God! Dogs do not go to Heaven!" And there was audible booing from every direction.
Sounds like someone didn’t read the Bible that closely then... It literally says God made all the things, “and it was good”. Which ooobviously means good bois go to heaven.
OP: “I’m going to voice my dislike for dogs, hopefully find people that relate” This bowl: “we don’t relate” posts picture of their dogs Me: 🥺 so many good boys
I agree. My SO wants a dog and I'm resisting. They smell, they take a crap and it's still lingers all in their fur and then they sit on your furniture. They literally smell other ass and stick their nose into other dogs pee and then want to lick your face?!
And don't get me started on picking up hot dog crap off the sidewalk and fleas or worms....yukk
Ey2: I own a dog. He gets washed weekly (more as needed), has been trained not to lick faces, and is only allowed on furniture when his special blanket is out.
You can raise dogs to suit your preferences. Not all are undisciplined smelly maniacs

Have to hard disagree. This dude comes with me everywhere, best friend, best cuddler, and awesome road trip buddy.
Same with mine
10000 years of bonding would suggest otherwise
This pup looks like he’s about to tell me that he won’t sponsor my membership because I’m not club material.
