Well, now that we know you're trolling, this thread should just end. You're not interested in why.

That's because it's cool on the internet to hate cats. But I can assure you I'll be just as emotional when my cat dies as my dog.

A dog will love you as nothing else will.

Dogs are our friends and protectors.

Their love is unconditional.

So you agree you would rather live in a world full of dogs than people? Or dogs are better than people for that matter?

No. But I also don't take things that are figurative and try to apply them literally.

Some people - and there are lots of them on TD - are way too attached to their dogs. Calling them kids, boys, girls, kissing them on the mouth, letting them eat off plates. They forget they're dogs.

But many people believe what I previously stated, to deny that people believe it is to deny truth. That is what I find illogical.

I agree with the first response to this thread.

If you are not emotionally damaged when your dog dies, you don't deserve to ever have another.

I don't understand this at all. I feel like they want a substitute for a real kid, but even then I'm not kissing my child on the mouth.

Well when you start becoming so emotionally damaged from an animal that it effects other functioning aspects of your life, I'd say that's a start.

Seeing a dog die makes you wonder if it was ever worth having one. But eventually, the pain of death fades and the memories of the good times stick with you..

I don't understand, its an animal. Get another one and move on. I also don't understand the people that say dogs>humans. What kind of shitty humans do you piece of trash motherfrickers hang out with?

Lock your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car for 2 hours. When you open the trunk, which one is happy to see you??

That's why.

Most people get over it. The reason they are upset over the death is because having this dog was an awesome experience.

Being emotionally attached to a pet, particularly a dog, is normal. Those who can't understand it are far outside the norm.

My own world? Damn right I would rather live on a piece of land with 10 dogs than a condo with 10 humans. It's not even a difficult decision.

If you're extrapolating to the population of Earth in general, then that's a strawman not worth addressing.

In general, yes. Humans lie, steal, cheat, kill, etc... at a much higher clip than a canine does.

So decent humans are better than dogs, but I don't find the majority of humans to be decent. So as a general rule, dogs are much better.
