I am always fucking nervous when somebody leaves a child for a minute near me and my dog. And let me tell you: My dog is even more nervous. Just don't.
Dogs are dangerous. Every goddamn time I got bit while working delivery the onwer would say "Oh he never bites! He is a good boy!" all the way up until a client dog attack required surgery, forever changed how I walk and keeps me in constant pain 24/7.
I fucking hate dogs, but I hate even more how dog owners make excuses for their dogs that put other people in danger.
Hope you get jacked by a dog again
Boring uninteresting troll.
Yepp, irresponsible dog owners are the fucking worst. Not only are you potentially going to harm someone outside the situation, it is also torture for the dog.
If you aren’t going to care for your pet, DONT GET ONE.
That family is kinder than me. I'd have killed the dog then and there.
Vengeance is a disgusting trait in people, just saying.
It's also not the dogs fault, as controversial as that might seem to some people without further explanation or a bit of reflection.
Maybe, but I have lines I won't have crossed and killing my family is one of those. Instinct or not that dog is not getting the chance to do that again.
In this scenario you've imagined here though, the rage you feel towards the dog is actually caused by your own negligence. Reflect on that if you like, or don't. Either way I won't return to this post because it's a depressing subject I would rather move on from.
You're really leaving it? Because you sure love judging others for it. This wouldn't happen in my situation because I have had 3 kids and a dog the whole time and they've all lived. But let's assume I had been negligent. I'd still kill the fuckin dog. Because any dog with that kind of problems doesn't need to go to a pound to do it to someone else.
I wouldn't. But of course I wouldn't want to see that dog ever again, no matter how much "good boy" he was.
I really don't like living with dogs to be honest. I can love and play with your dog, but I never want to live with one.
Pro: no constant barking, no chewed up stuff, no jumping and ignoring personal space, no begging, no dead babies.
Cons: dating site profiles have shown me over the years that 99.99999999999% of women are almost literally obsessed with dogs. Or at least that percentage of women who also use dating sites... :(
You've never lived with a dog that's actually been trained then. I've had dogs my whole life and they've never done any of those things beyond the puppy stage. I recommend it, but it is a big responsibility, akin to parenting when done properly.
Also dog owning girls are usually in better shape.
I love dogs and think they're fantastic roommates, but I definitely get where you're coming from. Most of the negatives of dog ownership can be fixed with proper training, but most people are too damn lazy. I often find myself annoyed by other people's dogs as well. The only one of your listed problems I have to deal with is the personal space one (Golden retriever), and it's as simple as saying "Go to your place" to solve/prevent it.
All that said, no dog, no matter the size or temperament, should EVER be left unattended with a small child, let alone an infant! Even with zero aggression dogs can hurt small children by smothering them or knocking them over. It's as simple as buying baby gates to prevent it, and I just don't understand why people let things like this happen :(
The training is really the biggest issue, I'd need to be completely in control of that. I've dated people in the past with the whole "oh but he's too cute I can't not do XYZ thing!" and their dog would drive me crazy.
Unfortunately that "oh but he's so cute I can't help it" crap bleeds over onto those of us responsible owners too. Golden puppies are adorable, and everyone wanted to let him jump on them when he was little. I would stop it at every turn, but it was a constant fight with him and other people trying to fix it. So what I'm saying is, screw those people. They make everyone's life with dogs hell. -_-
I only keep dogs under 30lbs and I still wouldn't trust them near a child let alone a newborn. Jesus.
Some people put too much trust in animals. Even good animals can have "bad day".
Yeah, dogs have a prey drive, and babies are unfortunately right in that “looks like prey” zone. Because, ya know, babies are prey. Your dog will fuck up a baby for the same reason that they’ll fuck up a squirrel or a cat.
Husky (the dog in this incident) prey drive is ridiculous too. I could imagine new parents might also be unable to give that sort of dog the stimulation it needs to be less likely to misbehave. * I am aware of how misbehaving is a massive understatement in this context. *
