The dog next door still barks like a maniac at me even though we've known each other for over five years, and I frequently pat him and talk to him.
He's really friendly to me when I engage with him, but if I walk down my driveway, you'd think he wanted to kill me.
If I ride out on my bike, it's like he's having a fit.

"She won't bite". Unless the owner is psychic or telepathic, the owner does not know if it will bite

"She's friendly". Dispositional versus situational. Opinion of the owner.

"Friendly" dogs that "won't bite" are not exempt from the leash law

Dogs have names and get called "he" and "she" and wear clothes

:roll:

Dogs are more important than people to many people. Saying negative things about dogs will get you the same reaction as saying the N-Word to a group of Social Justice Warriors. If you want to be thought of psychotic one of the fastest ways of doing that is say you do not like dogs. If you want to really insult people lack of eye contact works fine but ignoring their precious dog is even more effective.

My Autistic pattern recognition has shown that apparently every dog is friendly, and does not bite or growl except when they see me. Or at least that what their owners keep on telling me.

I have quite the noise sensitivity to barking, and I find being licked on jumped on grating. Having one's dog jump on or lick a total stranger is universally considered not only acceptable behavior but a gesture of friendship. I guess I really do live on the wrong planet

"Dogs are more important than people to many people. "

Some owners value their dogs more than some owners value other people.

"Important" to whom, in what way, what amount, what time?

Even the monetary exchange rate, changes daily





"Saying negative things about dogs will get you the same reaction as saying the N-Word to a group of Social Justice Warriors. "

The statement is correct. But two dogs bit me, so that justifies some cynophobia (but not all of it). Dog owners want to claim "species discrimination"


"If you want to be thought of psychotic one of the fastest ways of doing that is say you do not like dogs. "

Yes, the owners are so egotistical that they could not fancy that anyone does not love their dog. Their dog represents their inner child.

I like dogs and I like cats. I always have one of each and I teach them to peacefully coexist together. My current dog has a strange inherited trait that I haven't seen before. Whenever a stranger appears, my dog finds a stick or bone and then approached them with the object in his mouth. He is telling them, look I am not dangerous, you can pet me. I will not bite you.

The Schnauzer has had years to know I'm not a threat.


Not if you've ignored it the whole time.


thanks for the tip, the barking's got better since I started being more friendly

When I was little I had an extreme phobia of dogs, and I still do not like being around them.

Mainly I think it's the combination of their size, speed, and loud noise that I find unnerving. I don't too much mind being around tiny cute puppies, but I definitely don't like being around larger dogs.

Two dogs bit me

I was screaming

Involuntarily

But the dogs suddenly left me alone

Just as suddenly as they approached

Because I can't run faster or wrestle a dog

Pepper spray

What is the solution?

The second time, someone had the nerve to tell me to leave the building. "We don't treat animals like that. Animal rights!". The self important, entitled lil ass hole simpleton had the nerve to tell me.

Don't treat animals like what?

It bit me. Any reaction other than lying down and let it maul me to death, constitutes :twisted: animal rights violation :twisted:



The two lil simpletons acted like, involuntarily screaming in reaction to a dog bite, is the ethical equivalent, :roll: pigs in the slaughterhouse



:skull:


Their website says they believe all animals have a right to be "happy, free and safe".

Nobody has a right to be happy

Plenty of people make fun of Trump

The Commander in Chief of the military can't stop them

Nobody has a right to be happy
