Dogs

Little dogs can be funny, but I like a dog that's big enough to wrestle with.

I'm with Gris, the notion of 'Best' implies that there should ultimately be only one choice once the winner is determined and life just doesn't work that way. For some people a dog is too much work and intrusion on thier lives. They require exercise, attention and affection, three things a cat generally couldn'g give a rats ass about, or at least is not interested in your thoughts on the subject. Personally, I think that if you are looking for a low maintenance/impact pet, I wonder if you really need a pet at all? I got a dog so that I would go outside every day for a walk/run. I got a dog so that someone would greet me at the door and be good company when I'm at home. I love that my dog has a personality and strives to make a connection with me. I love that she has the ability to communicate beyond the two phrases "feed me" and "clean the litter box". Our dog has been such a great addition to the family that she now has a little brother.

I love dogs as long as I don't have to take care of them. It is well known that most of them have great personalities, rarely hold grudges even if you abuse them, are always trusting even after they've been abandoned before. They are by far the best animal friends for human as a combination of loyalty, temperament, and intelligence. However, as far as pets go I just can't give it a full 5-star rating as they indeed need a lot of work. They are not genetically pre-programmed to like cleanliness. Their affection is wonderful occasionally but their need for attention is a little too much to handle for busy people. If one cares about their well-being, then walking them daily is almost unavoidable. In places that have harsh weather conditions it just seems less feasible. I've had a dog and I loved him to death. However, it was also him that made me understand that dogs are not suitable pets for my life style. Not before, not now, and probably not in the future.

I am a dog lover, I admit it be it that it is an expensive endeavor as a pet lover and owner, I know I am bound by a responsility to love and treat my dog with about as much respect as I would treat a human being. I have to make sure my dog gets excercise, even whey it is ugh cold out side, lets not talk about rain, because I will not drag my dog, or dogs out if it's raining. Fortunately I do have a back yard where they can go and releave themselves, and I have a enclosed front porch. My babies time otherwise is with me indoors, it is hard to resist their furry little faces, which are 3 Yorkies, a mother and father and their son. Then I have a shelter dog a Shitzu, and medium sized poodle, that makes 5. But 3 are on the smaller side, I still cannot describe the joy they give, they all love to cuddle, they at times do fight for my attention, but I quickly stop that behavior. I have to be on guard, because I do have 2 males that more alpha dogs, they begin with low growl and then snarl a... Read more

Yes, dogs can be noisy and messy and taking care of them is time consuming. But it's also very rewarding. If I had the room and money, I'd have a dog right now.

No-- I love dogs. I've had three different somewhat scary things happen with dogs. Twice in my life I have had a dog inexplicably start circling me as I was walking down the street, and both times they wouldn't let me walk away, just kept circling me for about 10-15 minutes. Another time an unleashed dog walking in the park with its owners randomly decided to attack me. It ran across the field, barking like a freak, and I was 90% certain it intended to bite. Luckily, I had an umbrella which I lowered to defend myself. The dog paused for a second and finally the owners realized what was going on and called their dog back. Despite these occurrences, I'm not afraid of dogs and never could be.

Not at all, but I am not a big fan of them either.

Never been given a Reason to fear These guys.

From a young age I've been petrified of large poodles. Granted it has subsided a lot at this point, where all I do is take a step back when I see one. I was 3 years old when my Grandma warned me not to go near this poodle, which was the pet of the owner of the motel she worked at. I didn't listen one day, reached to pet and was snapped at and bit. It is still my biggest fear of any animal that I've encountered.

nooooooooooo. they r soooooooooooooo sweet. is any1 scared of dogs?

Unless of course this dog is bigger than me, coming my way and foaming at the mouth...

No contest

Some of them can look intimmedating. Im a dog lover by nature tho. They can sence fear, so if a dog is close to me and barking (not attacking) me, I just look at it for a second, and keep walking at my normal pace. They usually just back away after that.

no i love dogs

Only the big snarley kind that froth at the mouth. I used to be terrified of dogs until I realized one day that the heavy leather biker boots I wore would do serious damage to the teeth of that little b*stard who was heading my way in a threatening manner. Odd thing... the moment this thought occurred to me... the dog stopped dead in his tracks and backed up. I keep this thought in mind whenever I feel threatened and find that dogs are more afraid of me, than I am of them.

depends if they are mean

ONLY the BIG ones!!!!

dogs r the best. i have 2 big ones.

I was scared of dogs from age 2-18. Now I love them.

I LOVE DEM~

i like dogs

just enough to put me into kill mode if they are agressive

Can be scary

hahah dogs????

dogz r baller!!!!

Dogs shouldn't be inherently scary.  It's the people who own them who can be scary and who make them scary.  I've got a dobermann, and while he would defend me or my family with force if necessary, he's the biggest baby in the world if you know him.  Dogs are so trusting and loyal.  There is a quote by Andy Rooney that says The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.  I've been around dogs my whole life and I have to agree.

dude no comment XD

If its like one thats about to bite my face off then yeah,but for the most part i love dogs.

NOW IF A PIC OF A BIG ASS PIT WAS ON HERE I WULD AHVE BEEN HELLA SCARED

I get scared of stray dogs because I dont know if they will bite or not. I got bit once and it was from a dog in a yard. The thing is I was just walking by, I didn't even see the dog until it was to late.

they are only good because they sometimes keep you safe.

I don't know what I would do without my trusty sidekick, Fido.

Dogs can find people that run away or get lost. They can help people that are blind. They can smell out drugs. They bark when strangers come by the house. Dogs can be a good friend. Dogs can cheer up people in hospitals and nursing homes. Dogs can help farmers to herd cattle or sheep. Dogs can keep unwanted animals away from farms..such as the fox or coyote. We second graders believe that dogs are the most important and helpful animal of all.

Dogs are incredible Pets. I own an All American Mutt and A Rat Terrier. Raised properly and you will know why dogs are mans best friend. For those who say dogs cannot think and work only on instinct I say Bull Sh*t. Dogs have intelligence, Dogs are loyal,Dogs Protect and will give their life for their master, Dogs are heroic, Dogs loved to be trained to please their master hence all many jobs dog perform. My Dogs go everywhere that it is possible for them to go. I will never go without a dog in my house and by my side.
