Are dogs the most overrated thing in the modern world?

[Procrastinator35]

Stink, destroy things and bark. Mine is hypo psychopath.

Sounds like it needs more love & attention to me.

Not really. Rats make awesome pets.

Come to think of it, Rats probably are more affectionate than Cats too.

The argument for Cats just keeps on getting worserer & worserer.

Just a few things he has destroyed. The back yard is pretty much empty now with the air cons fenced off.

I’ve seen a few episodes of his old show ‘Harry’s Pracitce’ on 7TWO, usually early in the morning or on a weekday afternoon. What I’ve gathered from watching is that he loves going around to someone’s house at about 7am for a ‘surprise house visit’ and is shocked to find the pet owners are all in pyjamas and have just rolled out of bed. You’d think they’d call before they came or waited until the late morning/afternoon before visiting

Harry would get a eye full of sausage if he visited me at 7am

How often / far is he walked? A dog that size being kept in a suburban back yard should be walked / run for at least 30 minutes EVERY day, or you shouldn't be keeping him there. When my Rottie was alive we had a small back yard, but I'd take him out for a run with me each night. Used up his energy doing that, rather than wrecking everything in sight.

Not overrated at all as it's not their fault we are currently living in a time where people are using them as entertainment or a means to gain attention on social media.

Dogs are non-judgemental. Cats on the other hand are in contempt of humans 95% of the time.

Yeah and thats what i *en love about them

Compensated for the hilarity with cats when they do something clumsy and realise you've seen and then try to pretend nothing happened, but they know that you know and your laughter burns them up (like when they fall off the back of a couch or run and trip).

My dog can be judgemental af when he doesn't like the looks of someone.

I'm not suggesting it is the dog's fault, but they are certainly overrated by us humans which is the point.

Hmm I dunno

Yeah, but who gives 2 tosses about a Cats opinion anyhow?....Alls they're good for are making dim sims & banjo strings outta….Gnarly little asthma carriers.

"Benji" aka couch destroyer was diagnosed with Meningitis last month. He was a day away from being euthanized after showing no signs of improvement. As of today he is still on steroids and almost back to his normal self.

I certainly had a short fuse with him wrecking everything before hand but now you don't realize how much they mean to you after they almost let go.

Pic a day before being taken to the Emergency Hospital. Local vet sent him home with what they thought was a bladder infection.

Dogs get their owners to pick theirs up for em....Who said Cats were smarter again?
