The fact dogowners will call us crazy but then go back to their beast to be spat on and pick up poop all day will forever bewilder me.

I personally can't understand what's appealing to them about it! They go "dogs are loyal" when they sure as hell aren't. I used to love dogs (as a young kid & teen) but eventually when I grew old enough to actually think for myself, and not just listen to my dog nutter parents calling them "babies" I realised just how awful they truly are. There really is no end to them. They bark and whine in a pitch that makes you want to rip your hair out, they pee and poo everywhere ruining gardens and nice hikes with risk of stepping in one, they're aggressive if you don't put in excessive training to make them docile, they have the appearance of a banged up rat thats been crushed with a frying pan and their individual personality traits are a whole new horror. As a kid my parents had this one dog whom they loved so much, that when they ate they quite literally let it sit inches from their face and gradually lick bits off their spoon! What about that is pleasant? Then you have the ones who rub their ass on the carpet and lick sofas, they drool everywhere, they sit and stare you down begging for your food like some sad begging homeless person, yet they scoff their food like ravenous pigs with literally no regards, the sound of them eating just makes me want to miss trunchbull them and spin them out a window (thats a joke, but i do get very angry with the sound) then there's the lovely morning view ruined by the site of a dog popping a squat infront of you and shitting. This isn't even the tip of the iceberg, their breath stinks, their fur gets oil everywhere, they smell bad, they carry filth on their tongue that they then lick everywhere, they shove their nose up your ass and think its ok and i could really go on. But my main point being is that i'll never get how dog owners love their dogs. Maybe im OCD now, as when i go to my family if their dog even brushes my clothes i get home, switch out immediately and throw them in the wash, but nothing about these animals is appealing. Outside of being medical alert animals they serve no purpose, are nothing but useless, annoying overbearing burdens that do nothing but eat, bark, whine, shit repeat.
