Working with dogs is definitely helping me with my anger problems, since getting angry or impatient is always the 100% worst way to respond to anything a dog does. I bet a lot of people here struggle with anger. Having a companion animal can really help with that stuff. It can restore feelings of self worth because dog exhibits a very pure and simple form of unconditional love as long as its treated with the same. It can make a depressed person feel capable of caring for another's needs and by extension xher own. A dog is also a gateway, not a substitute, for humyn interaction, because there is a whole world of dog owners out there who spend a great deal of time on their dogs and want their dog to be friends with yours even if you are slightly unlovable as are so many of us.
an sometimes they lick your face an make you laugh. haha!!

wow, what an ass
DoGSSSSSSS
fell out of a guard tower!! he wa sa nazi! hated jews!
my maternal grandfather was a respected german immigrant with a phd.
my family is a product of social programs to assist poor whites, the new laxity in mixing labor aristocrat and bourgeoisie blood, and a wholesale buying of the american dream; it almost killed my dad because the more money he earned the more weight he gained and the more depressed he became. it took us losing a lot and him taking on multiple jobs for him to normalize.
as my family has become poorer we've become better; i want to live poorer. we have dogs. i'll have dogs.
i love this useless yappy shit of a mammal.
this is buster my parents dog i took him to the paws walk because my landlord is a stupid jerk who wont let me adopt a rotweiller. he looks so happy on account of having just killed and half eaten a koala
these are my two doggies. brothers! from the same litter! amazing.
well, actually, the one the on the right (Moo "Moo Moo" LastName) died in january. most likely for being gay w/his bro. licked each others dongs and buttholes all the time. god bless em.
my other grandpa died in april from lung cancer and smoked until the day he died. he was a big participant in AA too, and they held his funeral at some place an AA friend of his 'hooked us up with' (it turned out to be a bingo palace)
it got weird when one of the AA dudes got up there and talked about my grandpa chasing down a naked prostitute (of 'his') because she owed him money
real weird.

What would you guess was the risk at the time that this could have gotten him killed

the communists shot my great-grandfather in 1962 and ran the rest of the family out of the country including my mom who still has PTSD so ultimately it was very very high. i dont think this was directly connected to the restaurant though
gyrofry posted:eugenics would be a good final solution to the pit bull question
I do think it would be appropriate to criminalize possession of a non-spayed or non-neutered dog unless you have a breeder's license. I dont think breed temperament is all that important when we're asking what are the "problem dogs" that shitty owners like to get and mistreat and turn into mean animals. In my area the most common evil dog was the boxer until pit bull got more common in the last ten years, now the dogs to look out for are weimeraners and GSDs.
Every once in a while I see some tough dude with a big tough masculinity issue walking a big GSD off leash and i do think it should be legal for me to kill his dog

yeah. we are supposedly descendents of confederate general jubal early according to my grandfather, who actually seemed proud of this
I have a family relation to Jefferson Davis and my Great Grandfather once met one of his family's former slaves who had the same name as my Grandfather.

To get to the bottom of this question about dogs, I kicked a dog until it produced the symptoms of a severe concussion. Clearly the answer is that dogs can suffer concussions. What's scary is that according my research 100% of these concussions prove fatal. So be careful with your dog's brain!
