Ahh,great to hear from other animal lovers,especially such good arguments curious_aardvark
I have brought my dog with me to work a few times(I work at a mental institution) and no matter how aggressive or anti-social the pasients are they all flock around him to pet and talk to him.Strange how a dog can make someone open up,have a pasient who donīt talk at all,refuses to speak to humans,but when he gets to pet a dog he never shuts up
How someone can say dogs are useless Iīll never know.
Funny story:
Had a friend who claimed he could defeat a dog in a fight because dogs were so simpleminded and weak(whaaaaat
)
He said this to a friend of mine who trains dogs for the Norwegian Army,who challenged him:
My friend in a protective suit vs one of his 2 trained dogs,Rottweiler or German sheperd. he wasnīt quite so cocky when he cried for help and crawled back out(we actually waited for 5mins before we let him out..call it a mean streak..).
seriously believe that if people realized what a dog could do to you if it wanted,they would be much kinder to them.That is what I tell my son when he hit our dog while they played: "He could crush your arm if he wanted,but he doesnīt.That is because he loves you.so why do you hit him?"
