: : : and they bite people, and they bark annoyingly, and they scare you with growling, they stink, they take craps everywhere, they are so incapable of taking care of themselves, that if you leave them alone, they start whining as if it was doomsday or something.

: And who's to blame? The people who raised and trained him - or actually didn't. If you train your dog properly, no harm is done and none of those things will happen.

Well, there you have problem nr. 1. A HELL LOT of people doesn't know how to train their dogs. And some train them purposely for doing so. There should've been a license to have dogs, just like you need a license to have guns, cause some people simply can't handle them right.

: Oh, and if you didn't know it yet, they only act like that cause they know you are their main source of food. They don't love you. They just know you're the boss, and if they suck up to you, they know they will get their treats. As simple as that. And there's no need in arguing with this, it's the cold truth.

: That's so untrue, and I do argue 'cause it's totally different. Just study wolves who the dogs are descendants from and you'll know wolves and dogs too have a strong sense of group feeling and will never abandon the group.

Does not mean it's love. It's like I said. They suck up to the leader. They have a hierchial(sp?) system of ruling, which means that there is one leader, then maybe one or two under him, and then one or two under them and so on. And by sucking up to the leader or one of those above you, you can get a higher position in this system. And why do they want that? Cause the higher you are in the system, the better food you get? Say they kill some animal. Then the leader gets to eat all it wants first. Then those under, and so on, and if you're low, you may end up not getting food.

Sure, they get food out of it, but how about playing and having fun? That's what wolves do, you know, it's not only about food and treats.

They play, do they? Hah, pay some more attention to those who teach you this, OR get someone who knows what they're talking about. It may look like play, but it's practice for hunting. It's always about food, will you stop trying to say something against that? It's not worth it, cause it's wrong.

And how 'bout if a group member dies? Then the wolves howl.

Aye, and you know why? One less to help in the hunt. Plus the fact that groups of wolves fight against each other, and this is an advantage for the other group.

: Humans give their pets human attributes, while in fact they have none. Love is a word that is non-existant in the animal kingdom. So the next time your dog(s) act up lovely, they either want food, or to go out.

: Or they simpley want a hug.

Well, yeah, that may be the reason. But as I have said, it's not of love, it's for something I forgot to mention, the feeling of being one of the group members.

: : Thank you. You could not possibly be more correct.

: Real cat persons.

I do like cats, yeah, but I don't mention them here, at least not purposely, cause that has nothing to do with my view on dogs.
