DOGS

not all of them are racists im sure, but if u wanted to create a heuristic for a certain type of person in a certain type of london suburb, it would be 'english bull terrier owners'

I went through Penge the other day and I swear that like 90% of the dogs I saw there were English bull terriers.

If dogs have such sensitive noses, why don't they seem to mind when I fart in their faces?

Unless you're eating remarkably sulfurous food (onions, garlic, egg whites etc) which emit the universally (among animals) reviled hydrogen sulfide upon digestion, the distaste for manure smells is largely just cultural.

Dogs, you've probably noticed love smelling (and among German Shepards, eating) feces. It is a marker of identity as well as signal of what's on the menu locally. I've never lived with a dog that didn't love smelling about the toilet seat to gather information.

This is a very bizarre website. That said, it's probably among the best things on the internet I've seen in some time, if only for the pug portraits.

A man is fighting for his life in hospital after he was mauled by two savage dogs on a beach.

The unnamed victim, 30, was severely bitten all over his body by a pet mastiff cross and a Staffordshire bull terrier on Brighton beach, East Sussex, on Friday morning.

A 40-year-old man believed to be the dogs' owner was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault and possession of a knife and Class A drugs.

Remember that pic of the older pony-tailed dude cradling his dog in his arms while they float in the lake so the dog can sleep?

WCCO did a segment on him, which CNN picked up.

Warning, this vid will make you cry.

"Yaaaay! Another march!"

Despite my handle, I used to be mortally afraid of dogs and I'm still fairly jumpy around some of them. But I found in recent years that I'm allergic to cats. I'm now much more partial to well-behaved dogs than any cat.

Damn you Kingfish! I just watched that video and sure enough oh the tears. At my desk. At work.

My British lab ROCKS, when I had surgery he had to poop inside, and being a high class well bred dog has never done this. I mean, this dog never does anything wrong. He felt ashamed about it. So did I.

I had to explain to the super snooty and Japanese home "inspector" that we are normally very clean people but are sick, I am sorry. It would have been nice if he bitched about my extremely brave and well-behaved dog to my face, it's too bad his superior breeding as a human doesn't allow for that.

No one voted for German Shepard or Doberman Pinscher! Granted, these are quite large dogs who require a lot of space and exercise, but in the 1980s and 1990s, these were among the most popular dogs in the universe. Lo! How the mighty have fallen.

I hate dobermans

Hi Mike!

My dog was really ill all day yesterday and we were finally able to get a vet appointment this afternoon. I hope and pray that everything is okay, but he's nearly ten.

Here folks, this shiba inu blog should pick you up a little:

Kenny is beautiful. I love long-legged "curl up in bed with you" dogs like spaniels! My dog "Stan" is 9 and extremely healthy but I do have to start thinking about what I'll do when he is gone...another sporting dog, I think.

My siberian is sick today, but it's clear he just has a cold or something. This is extremely healthy breed.

this puppy belongs to a friend of a friend

OUTWARD HOUND

I love German Shepherds, they are geniuses and so "don't fuck with me." If you want an entertainer though, you should get another dog. I had a half Shepherd, loving and fierce but very reserved.

Only thing about the Husky is He has a problem / habit of eating blue jeans when he is frustrated! He had the same issue with shoes when we first got him...he ate all of our crap shoes, never the nice ones.

All my favorite jeans eventually succumbed to Husky frustration. Except for the 501s. Shows his mind is working.

The last German Shepherd I encountered was at a dude's house in India, and the thing was tied up but came fucking flying at us. My gf was all "I sure he's not dangerous" and the owner dude was like "no, he is dangerous, I bought him to scare off robbers". In Britain dog owners will fiercely and loyally deny that their dog is dangerous even if it clearly is, so this perspective was kind of refreshing.

I don't think Buzzfeed are dog people. The dogs in those gifs nearly all look stressed/hot/uncomfortable/in pain. Their cat list was better.
