30. Sounds like a typical shitty dog owner

Tue Jul 11, 2023, 09:46 AM

Jul 2023

Not all dog owners are shitty, but enough of them are that I automatically have a pretty negative opinion of most dog owners.

They see their dog doing something that is obviously bad behavior and don’t do anything to really stop that behavior.

It’s one thing to have a dog, but it’s another to assume that everyone loves your dog too. No, I don’t want to pet your dog. No, I don’t think it’s cute when you let your dog walk up to me without warning and jump on me and slobber all over me. No, I don’t enjoy hearing your dog bark non-stop. No, I don’t think you’re automatically and admirable and righteous person because you rescued your dog (and most likely still eat meat and don’t truly care about animals).

Sorry, that article hit one of my peeves…
