Yes theyre wonderful, but they aren't doing it for honor or loyalty, theyre doing it because it's in their nature and DNA. They aren't your " fur babies". They're cool animals.

The silver lining, if there is one, is we are given the opportunity to know and love several great dogs in our lifetime.

One of the strangest things about the Bible to me is that other than some generic references to working breeds, the Bible never says anything positive about dogs.


Because it has nothing to do with dogs. It’s about the salvation of our souls as human beings and getting ourselves and all the people we love to heaven. (and no, dogs are not people)

Calm down. The Bible says all sorts of things about the times the events described in it occurred in. Domesticated dogs were well established by then.

There are descriptions of other animals, crops, all sorts of things about every day life. I’ve just always thought it curious that in those type of comments, there isn’t any positive discussion about dogs.

Not sure about the downvote. Google bible verses about dogs. I’m not saying anything controversial.

My previous comment still stands. Perhaps the lack of discussion of dogs in the Bible tells us something about dogs and their actual value/worth in the long run. (Or lack thereof).

The only downside to a dog, is that they don't live long enough.

Agree. Dogs love is unconditional.

Lock your dog and your wife in the trunk of your car.
Come back in 20 minutes and see which one is happy to see you.

Show us where the dog bit you

Dude you are taking this to a whole other level here hating on dogs and bringing up the Bible, geez

Some people like cats, some don’t.
Some people like dogs, some don’t.

You made a dumb comment and got called out on it so you are upping your position by referencing the Bible over if dogs are equal to humans? lol, just wow!

1.) Dogs do not have the capacity to “love”. They are animals that are not sentient and do not have intellect or free will like us.

2.) Bad example:

Locking someone or something in a trunk like that is really shitty, abusive behavior. The dog is just not intelligent enough to know that or to realize it’s being abused by you.

That’s a lot of opinions presented as facts by someone who clearly doesn’t know dick about dogs.

Throw a stick, and the servile dog wheezes and pants and stumbles to bring it to you. Do the same before a cat, and he will eye you with coolly polite and somewhat bored amusement. And just as inferior people prefer the inferior animal which scampers excitedly because someone else wants something, so do superior people respect the superior animal which lives its own life and knows that the puerile stick-throwings of alien bipeds are none of its business and beneath its notice. The dog barks and begs and tumbles to amuse you when you crack the whip. That pleases a meekness-loving peasant who relishes a stimulus to his self importance. The cat, on the other hand, charms you into playing for its benefit when it wishes to be amused; making you rush about the room with a paper on a string when it feels like exercise, but refusing all your attempts to make it play when it is not in the humour. That is personality and individuality and self-respect -- the calm mastery of a being whose life is its own and not yours -- and the superior person recognises and appreciates this because he too is a free soul whose position is assured, and whose only law is his own heritage and aesthetic sense.
