Dogs are so overrated

scouser82

Dogs are incredibly overhyped in society and popular culture. Anytime a dog does something good (such as rescue a family member from a burning house etc) the dogs always gets praised, it is always because it is such a "good dog". But when the dog does something bad, like bite an innocent passerby it is always the fault of the owner for not training it properly. The owner will always get blamed for bad stuff, but never ever praised for when he/she trains a dog well.

Also, any of the good aspects of a dog (being very social, playful etc) are always used as reason for why dogs are so great, but any of the negative traits of dogs (humping, drooling, constant neediness, barking for no reason, whining for attention etc) is always seen as the fault of humans for "making them that way" over many thousand years of domestication. Its a joke, you have animal lovers going on about how dogs are loyal and they will never let you down while humans are apparantly the scurge of the earth, yet these people never actually bother to realise that dogs only have such good traits because of humans. We made them that way. They are only so loveable because of us.

It seems like dogs are in a win win situation. Do something good, get praised. Do something bad, deflect the blame to the human owner. Humans on the otherhand are in a lose lose. The dog does something good and you have dog lovers going on about how much better they are than humans. Dog does something bad and you have these same people giving out about humans for not being able to train them.

You cant have it both ways!

End of rant!!

Sigh.. I wish I was a dog.

Especially if I had a tail!

My dog is better than yours :P

Poor Craythur

I like dogs but agree, OP. They are damn annoying sometimes and very needy. Give me a cat, any day.

EDIT: And I HATE slobbery dogs. My childhood mutt didn't lick us or slobber, he was too cool for that shít. He did wee on me once though, which was kinda funny.

Cool story bro'

Dogs are awesome. Some are jerks, idiots and what not. But as a species, dogs are excellent. Cats are bullshit.

Scheming, machiavellian fiends with less loyalty then a politician.

The cat outside hangs around the top of the steps, most likely trying to trip people and kill them

We took in another stray cat, took it to the vet, fed, cared and housed it and a few months later it went and shacked up with the neighbours.
She even has a new name now. Turncoat!

backthephilup

But as you've ably demonstrated OP dogs can and do have it both ways
Thats whats so freakin cool about them man

How can you not love dogs!!

Nah, I like their general "not giving a shít"-ness. Much better than a needy dog. Plus they are so graceful.

I think it's very unfair of you to insult the whole dog population like that, especially when they can't log on to boards to defend themselves.

Cats are far superior. Dogs have pretty much turned into scavengers whilst even domestic cats can still hunt.

Hear hear!

I find dogs a bit too high energy and it can get annoying at times. Cats are just chill.

You have heard of civilization haven't you? We no longer need to hunt, instead we can concentrate on more important things.

Like "who truly is a good boy then"?
What is this fluffy thing coming out the back of me?
and "wheres the ball"?

Cats eat dead people even the ones they love, Dogs stay as a true companion to their deceased owner and will never eat them.

Actually cats don't like people? was proven they go to the most unaffectionate person in a room when cats rub their scent on you it means that they are telling you that their the boss and your their b$£"%h.
I like all animals btw but always liked dogs most

Ridiculous thread.

Can't we all just get along?

admiralofthefleet

dogs are brilliant, they will sit and watch you eat and then enjoy the bit you give them at the end before their own dinner. cats on the other hand would just rob rather than wait
the only good thing for a cat is a pillow case, bricks and the nearest canal/river

Sarky

I caught a cat trying to get in to my dustbin last night. Scavenging, if you will. I threw things at it until it went away. I wasn't actually aiming for it, but I didn't tell the cat that.

Dogs > All other pets. Except maybe a monkey butler.

Woof!

There's a cat crying at night for the last few nights.

It would chill you to the bone :eek:
Sounds like a new born infant left outside

I think if you took a closer look you'd see the cat getting a bone of her own.Cats make a terrible noise when their rydin.

Cats work on thought transference and don't need to talk. When my cat looks at me, I hear "fuck you, where's me dinner" in my head.:(

Maybe you should talk to a professional about this attitude to a defenceless animal.

The Cat's Diary


Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine l avishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash
or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations
perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my
strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an Attempt to
disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse
and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike
fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities.
However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little
hunter" I am. Bastards!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed
in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear
the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to
the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to
my advanta ge.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my
tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this
again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and Snitches.
The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to
be more than willing to return. He is obviously Retarded.

The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the Guards
regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have
arranged protective custody for him in an Elevated Cell, so he is safe.

For now.

If there was re-incarnation, a dog would be my first choice. They have the way to live life down to a tee!

In fairness, when has a cat ever saved someone from a burning house. Cats probably start the fires to watch the humans suffer. Evil animals.




Ah no, I'm growing to like cats more.

Poor Craythur

I love cats but dayum if they were human, they would cruel lovers!

Da Shins Kelly

Cats are so much better. Dogs smell, they are the biggest attention-seekers of all time and can barely look after themselves. Cats, on the otherhand, are low maintenance, independent and don't stink to high heaven. My cat and I have a mutual understanding. She doesn't love me or anything, she just wants to be fed and given a comfotable place to sleep for 16 hours a day. I'm happy to provide this, so long as I don't have to wash her or bring her for walks or constantly play with her. Sometimes she brings me gifts in the forms of beheaded birds and mice, which is thoughtful, and I bought her a nice collar. We don't require anything from each other except the bare minimum, with the occasional bonuses. It's the perfect relationship.

I love dogs. Especially boxers dogs.

Whenever I see a dog I love like a boxer or king charles, I go up to them, pet them and might give them a kiss. They always return the favour with licks.

Can you imagine humans acting that way? I would be greeted with a smack if I was to walk up to a hot stranger and kiss him.
