Dogs are not people, does anyone else find it weird how some seem to equate the two?

275. I have.

obnoxious
My aunts dog. Really obnoxious. Gets all up in your shiz, always noisy, making a mess. a 12 year old puppy.

a martyr
The Brother in Laws dog. If he doesnt get his way, he lets you know he is suffering. When they got married, and my sister decreed that the new bed was to be for people, and not incontinent dogs who try to kick her off the side, you shoulda heard the fuss. Did you know dogs can sigh?

petulant
Oh yeah. My Brother in laws dog again. It barks at anyone not my brother in law. Its not threatened. Its not unhappy. It just barks to bark at people, to show his displeasure at them for not being my brother in law. Oh.. And the reason it was banned from the new bed, above.. It didnt want to give up its position to my sister when she married in, so it would soil the sheets where she laid to show its displeasure at sharing its person.

more-clever-than-thou
Sitting with my father in laws dog and his dads dog. the one waiting to steal the others bone. And looking smug as hell when he got it, and offended as f when I returned it to the proper dog. And then sitting staring at that bone with intensity, just waiting for me to move out of range so he could make another try at it. Brazen as can be, Im gonna do this, you cant stop me forever written in every inch of its wound up little terrier frame.

judgmental against organization which do do them zero harm
Vaccum cleaners. Nuff said.

Calls people with different opinions 'crazy' out of metal laziness
They dont really talk, so thats a hard one. Ive seen them cock their heads and look at you like you must be under some sort of alien mind control when you don't share their interest in squirrels, though, so Im gonna call that one covered.

Pretentious.. Probably, though that one ive not personally experienced.
holier-than-thou.. Not sure. Ive seen them play innocent, which is not quite the same thing.

I like dogs. But I wont try and claim that every one of them has a pleasant, likeable personality. Ive seen some spoiled little brat dogs that I like no better than spoiled little brats of any species. And some outright bullies, similarly not overly likeable, in my opinion.
