Why do white people like dogs so much?

I get it everyone loves dogs. They’re protective, cute, and smarter than people sometimes. However, yall know white people go too far with it. (The costumes, the doggy birthdays, etc.) Even fictionally, Princess Belle still dated her man after he turned into a ‘canine-esque’ beast. Just the other day my white friend cried during Marley & Me but was silent during The Devil’s Arithmetic. Some of yalls dogs are obnoxious and not as cute as yall claim. Not worthy of the praise, sorry.

If you have a Chihuahua, this is especially for you.
