I'm really not a dog person. Unless they are very friendly, big dogs scare me. And sometimes just their size alone startles me if they are unusually big, like a Great Dane. I think to myself, "Holy smokes, That's not a dog, it's a horse!" :lol:

Cats are definitely my favorite. :)

My mom has all kinds of weird rules for interacting with her dog so she's not really fun to be around. I perfer lizards and more exotic animals.

I have a big black dog



How could they compare depression to one of the world's most loving companions?! Even the dog in the video looks cute! They called dogs "mans' best friend" for a damn good reason. I remember as a kid whenever I used to cry, our dogs would go up to me, lovingly wagging their tails and make such a huge fuss out of me, like I was the best thing in the world to them. How many humans treat each other with such great friendship?


I really like the analogy but I'm a cat person :twisted:

YES. I don't even know how or why or why it makes such a big difference, but almost every time I leave the house I have my big dog sitting in the passenger seat and he gives me such calmness having him there.
