Have you ever had a dog? How about children? Spouse? It’s entirely normal for people to get frustrated with any family member, and a dog is just that. I loved my dog with all my heart but there were times when he drove me nuts and I got frustrated with him. Same with my children and my husband. Maybe you just haven’t had enough life experience to understand that.

And some people just get dogs because "everybody loves dogs". People have no personalities in Vancouver so dogs are the easiest way to get people to socialize with you. Maybe even get you laid lol.

There are no bad dogs, only bad owners.

I have noticed this too.. and to the poster above, yes I have had dogs and cats in my life. You can tell when someone isn't really into the animal, and just has it for a fashion statement or because they
didn't understand what it would be like to have to walk and feed the dog, etc.

I don't have a dog because I live alone in a condo, so the dog would be alone without much of a place to run around and play, for nearly ten hours a day while working and commuting. I don't understand people who do this with certain breeds that need to be social and need to be active during the day, such as some in my building.

who is your dog ... someone should be wearing the leash. Your dog mimics only in dog status, you pick up your dogs character. I need a walk. Sniffing...meow. I'm not a good hound sherlock..love em
