Dog Appreciation Thread

It’s a great deal for dogs but we have to keep our end of the deal. Definitely two way deal.

I knew this dude who was staying at a friends house who went on this whole tirade about how he hates people that abuse animals and that if he saw somebody do it he'd beat the **** out of them. When he moved out he abandoned his snake that died because he was walking around with it and accidentally dropped it and they think he broke it's jaw but he never took it to a vet or anything and his tarantula that they starved so bad that it started losing it's hair. That dude is a p.o.s. and shouldn't own any pets. I hope his dog gets taken away or something. He's one of those people that owns a big dog and constantly tries to prove his masculinity.

Gah, people never fail to disappoint.

I volunteer at a rescue shelter and seeing the amount of abused, mistreated animals that come in breaks my heart. I can’t imagine leaving an animal behind.

I met a married couple I’m friends with today and the told me they gave their dog away to get a cheaper apartment. He’s with a family member but still it’s like an hour away. He’s a pit bull.

Sigh. I don’t think I’ve ever met a single person with a pit that was equipped to take care of it.

A pet’s death can hurt more than losing a fellow human

****ing duh right? Even if they're amazing people, every human has at least a little bit of **** under their fingernails that you can remember, whereas dogs are only loving and loyal, even if they are an occasional bad boy.

Oh I met a very good pit bull on my train the other day. Had one of those huge heads. Fingers crossed that the owner needs to find a home for that guy because I want it.

My mom adopted a pitbull from the pound a few months ago (despite our family being ill-equipped to take care of a dog at this point in time) and she's a real live wire. She was found in an abandoned house and docs determined her to be not even one year old yet, so she's basically still a puppy. She's a little under medium sized and is ****ing ripped lmao. She leapt over a 5-foot tall fence at the "doggy-day-care" my mom brings her to try and get her to chill the **** out and maybe get some training. My only hope is that in a year or two she's mellowed out.

People who get pets and rehome them constantly really really piss me off. I have a few acquintances who do things like that and no matter how much I tell them it’s a bad idea they go and ****ing do it anyway. My boyfriends sister also decided to get a springer spaniel puppy (5/6months old) when she had a 6yr old and a 6month old baby and I told her 100x she wouldn’t be able to take care of it. That she would find it very hard to give it enough exercise and mental stimulation but nooo, she was going to change her life... low and behold 6 weeks later the 6 month old puppy found itself in its 3rd home.

I honestly don’t understand how being a responsible pet owner is so difficult.

My family have always had Great Danes and it is honestly ridiculous how many of these amazing dogs are getting rehomed between 6-9months of age BECAUSE THEY GOT BIG?! What the **** did you expect to happen.

Wow. I mean they have the word "Great" in their name for a reason. WTF is wrong with people.

I started hiding my friend's minpin's toys from her and letting her search for them through the furniture. Now she's trying to hide them from me, but she's not good at it because she gets really excited about it and shows me where she puts it.

I love playing games like that. Some dogs take that **** crazy serious. It’s like NFL level.
