Downsides: they die
Why don't you own a dog yet? Pic related, my canine
Pooches are disgusting. No men are allowed to have them. Especially if you are about the /fit / life.

Dont listen to the retards user, your dog is very cute

This makes me miss my doggo that literally saved my life, died last month 10.5 years old. Give them good snuggles from me.

I want to get a shibe, Siberian husky, or Berenese mountain shepherd.
What is your ideal dog?

He is lovely user

That's a terrier they are vicious af you clearly know nothing about dogs.

When I move out I want to get a dog but I feel guilty over my childhood dog. I was a teenager and my parents split up, at my dads house we had three dogs. My dog had an eye issue where his tear ducts didn’t work so I had to give him daily eye drops t okeep them wet. When I’d come back o my dads after the two weeks at my moms it turned out he’s always not put his eye drops in for me. The dogs eyes started getting really fucked up. But that’s not the worst part. Eventually I lived with my mom full time but I tried to come over as often as I could to care for the dog. After a while he stopped eating and got super thin. It destroyed me seeing this. He wouldn’t even look at me other than a few glances. That was the last I saw of him. I never learned what happened to him, he was either put to sleep or surrendered to a shelter.
I want another dog so bad but I see the same breed as my old dog way too often (it’s an uncommon breed, flat coated retriever) and it just destroys me and fills me with guilt every time.
Pic related, Riley was the black dog. It crushed me seeing him go from the happiest dog in the world to actually being depressed. I 100% blame myself even with the gay custody arrangement I was living in.
I am having a bad day and all your dogs are making it 100% better.
Gabriel Clark
Do you mean she looks like a rat or that she's a ratter, because both is true
Isaiah Wood
I know enough to tell a german sheperd, labrador or any other big doggo would fuck him up. Even a woman could kick him and break his neck. Can't say the same about the former ones
Evan Martin
OP here, I currently have a mini schnauzer, my next one will definitely be a standard schnauzer, check them out very healthy, smart and energetic. Hope my current one lives forever though :(
Mason Baker
Picsand is the same dog. She would probably be slain by a bigger dog, but as far as I have seen so far she's impossible to catch
Tyler Ramirez
Very sad user, but I can guarantee a new dog will fill the hole, if you have time and resources for it of course
Cooper Edwards
The real dogpill is that they are tools and all the people who have them solely for companionship are cucking themselves
James Price
If I got another dog it wouldn’t be until I can devote more than enough time to caring for it and providing the greatest life possible, it just makes me feel guilty. Like the only way to truly make it up to Riley is to never get another dog.
Bentley Morales
how do you have a dog as a wagie?
im gone for 10 hours every day, how can i let him out and piss once in a while?
Logan Rivera
Get a breed that is independent and can handle being alone and doesn’t require a ton of exercise. Take him on a 30 minute walk in the morning, again before bed. And play with him often
Aiden Richardson
How do you get cucked by a dog, has a dog taken your woman? Was your woman a dog?
Matthew Gray
I'm sorry to say and i do not mean to hurt or offend-I'm sorry-but i don't know of a possibly more obnoxious, offensive, abusive to others,pain and trouble causing,loud,and mostly SELFISH,MEAN,andOBNOXIOUS animal that a schnauzer.They are sadly also frequently used by owners to abuse,offend,and traumatize others. A painful hurtful traumatizing animal in the most severe extreme.
Get a poodle. Either the small fag poodle or one of the big ones (the big ones are total bros and loyal as fuck, they’d kill someone who threatened their family). Poodles have different hair than other dogs
Eli Wilson
OP, here, while I agree they are not for everyone, my mini schnauzer is literally the most perfect dog I can imagine, for myself of course. And the standard ones I came in contact with had a similar disposition, so I want to get a standard one next. So I hope you're at least partially wrong or I will screw myself over
Cameron Williams
I fucking hate current year morals. We abandoned all compassion towards fellow humans, to the point we don't even react to them dying in vidya or TV, but then we see someone not petting a dog or a cat in the same vidya/TV series and then everyone cries a river. And let's not talk about what happens when someone hurts or kills a dog. By people's reactions I would guess they think a dog is a milion times more important than a fellow human being.
Listen here, most of your dogs are mutant abominations, a breeding experiment gone wrong. They would never survive without you, much less live like a normal animal in the wild. Some breeds even have genetic conditions which make their lives completely miserable. They're not cute, and you only think they are because you've been conditioned to treat them like babies instead of what they really are, mentally and physically impaired wolves. The only emotion you should feel for them is pity for what they used to be and what they've become.
Man the fuck up, get a GF and have real babies. Direct you parental instincts to the right place.
I have a wife and a kid, still love my dog. My kid loves her, my wife as well. Dogs don't survive in the wild (questionable) because they're not wild animals. Also having compassion for other living creatures is specifically human trait, so if anything it makes you more human
Luke Flores
Hypoallergenic dogs are a meme, they may have less hair and shed less of it but you still react to them on the long term.
Josiah Phillips
I always thought it was breed specific what the allergy was to. You can always get a sidfeeent animal. They’re not affectionate but reptiles are cool.
My mom has severe allergic asthma, she almost died a few weeks into getting a hamster and can't get close to most of the furry animals. My gf and I got a hypoallergenic dog and she can cuddle with her and rub her all over herself and has no reaction. The dog does have to get haircuts though because she doesn't shed. It's probably true what you wrote to some extent , but they are not a compete meme
Robert Rivera
Shibes are incredibly intelligent, so you need to be sure you can handle it. Huskies shed like no fucking other and require miles worth of walks like daily or else you're abusing them. Idk about the Shepherd you mentioned. Do your research don't buy a dog just cause you like the look of the breed.
Kevin Phillips
You're the type of person who should own a dog.
Jack Morgan
>she almost died a few weeks into getting a hamster Jesus, that's brutal. Also, what breed of dog is it?
Jaxson Baker
Shadow is a good boy. He mogs all the dogs in this thread
Noah Fisher
A schnauzer, it's OP typing so the dog in the picture. We got one from a friend for a test first, because while we don't live with my mom I don't want to kill her either if she visits. She usually just gets coughing and sneezing fits if exposed for a short time so it's not a big risk. The hamster thing was after the fucker shed and the hair was all over the apartment. She didn't have any reactions to the schnauzer so we got one, she (the dog) also has other great traits for us so it was a win overall
Kevin Long
People who criticize others dogs are the scum of the earth.
Adam Gray
brb gonna sniff some schnauzers
Bentley Robinson
>By people's reactions I would guess they think a dog is a milion times more important than a fellow human being. Depends on the human.
Ethan Torres
ive unrionically been thinking about installing some sort of remote trap door so i can let it out during work on my phone
am i autistic?
Thomas Wilson
>but then we see someone not petting a dog or a cat in the same vidya/TV series and then everyone cries a river
If it was trained enough to come back inside and you live in a safe area with a fenced in backyard where no one steal it and if it’s small no birds of prey will take it that would be a good idea
Caleb Jackson
This. People in 4chin throw shit at each other constantly, but look at this thread. Everyone is saying things like "OMG your dog is sooo lovely ^_^", when most of them are average looking at best.
There's also people like this . I bet they don't say anything when anons tell to each other to kys
David Reed
>I bet they don't say anything when anons tell to each other to kys Damn straight
Jason Gomez
People always feel empathy for dogs because they’re intelligent but not sapient, you absolute retard. There is no reason to attack a dog other than in self defence, while there exist plenty to attack a human, hence why people are more likely to withhold judgement despite whatever knee jerk reaction they have.
Nicholas Phillips
im not a narcissist i dont need something feeding me undeserved, constant and unwaivering affection. its actually annoying
Leo Garcia
not your fault user. chances are he got reserved bc your POS dad was negligent if not abusive - not anything you did. you were just a kid cringe
Easton Nguyen
Why are americans and anglos in particular obsessed with dogs? And it seems a recent development.
I understand its a pet, but the things ive seen people do and treat their dogs is just strange and disturbing.
Luke Allen
How do people kiss their dogs? Isn't it disgusting?
Jack Clark
no?
Kayden Wood
My stepbro owns a Shiba Inu My takeaway from communicated with him and the dog: Might as well have a cat. Intelligent, yet almost untrainable and very independent.
Aesthetically my ideal dog would be a borzoi, a saluki, or a greyhound. But they are retards in terms of training. I've heard the same about Huskies Totally disagree. Loyal, intelligent, trainable, yet with a chip on a shoulder.
Having a cat is alpha as fuck. I so miss my lanklet goof of a cat.
Good boy. Do you have a side view of him standing?
When I commit enough to get a dog, that would be a purebred Rottweiler or a Doberman
That’s because you’re a faggot while a dog probably isn’t.
Jonathan Diaz
user is basically right though. People want the emotional dopamine good feels of taking care of their young without the actual responsibility. And without their young ever growing up. Dogs don't grow up, they essentially remain children until they die when compared to humans. And yes, I know dogs do "heroic" things like save people from burning buildings and they are sometimes extraordinarily loyal... But we perceive them that easy because we compare then to ourselves when it suits us but not when it doesn't. Elevating dogs in such a way actually serves our own emotional needs. Anyway, soon people will be too stunted in their emotional and intellectual development to be able to even handle dogs anymore. They'll be afraid if even that much responsibility for someone other than themselves. And then after that, they'll be afraid of their own lives. It's already happening. t. farther of four children
David Nelson
I'm not surprised at all really, we're more isolated than ever thanks to the digital era and the hordes of npcs out there, deep connections to people are rare. Pets are always there and don't ask questions, but I agree that many take it too far and treat them like children.
John Adams
You are trying to explain complex things to a brainlet, let it go
Nathaniel Ross
Lmfao why should I care about another human who should be able to take care of themself? Humans, as the dominant species, often have a duty to care for lesser species and if you disagree you're probably a sociopath.
Luke Martin
post the yawn webm
Daniel Ward
How do you kiss people?
Ryan Cruz
Sorry about the typos I'm on my phone and my arms are a bit shaky from chin ups.
Charles Wood
Don't have that one, my boi does yawn a lot though.
I’m not with you on it being race specific, as I’ve seen blacks and whites do the same weird shit with their dogs (had a black gf who thought it was normal to grab her dogs dick to check if he peed in the house, inb4 you just know). And then there’s the Chinese dog festivals where they kidnap pets and eat them.
But I can agree that people kissing their dogs mouth/ letting lick their face and mouth is fucking gross and weird.
Gabriel Ortiz
Not questioning it, the guy I posted is Jon Snow from GoT, normies shit on him because he didn't pet his wolf. Guess I was too vague, sorry you typed all that lmao.
Joshua Thompson
Cute doggy user
Brody Cox
In context of the show, that wolf is demonstrably more intelligent and loyal than half the human characters, and that’s not hyperbole. People shat on the episode because it was one of the many obvious fuck ups it contained.
Ryan Barnes
I'll french my dog and let my dog french me and there's nothing you can fucking do about it.
Natural behavior for both dogs and humans, dogs lick their mother's mouths for comfort and to signify hunger. After that point it quickly becomes a method of expressing love.
Adrian Hughes
>loyal That's not saying much in game of thrones
Brayden Perez
im sorry user for your terrible experiance with schnauzers, but my mini schnauzer is quite literally the opposite. hes the most smart, friendly and quiet doggo ive owned. id even go as far as calling him a pushover.
Carson Russell
I knew that’s what you were hinting at, but in regards to the Jon Snow thing no one understands why he didn’t pet his wolf. He had just said what were probably his final goodbyes to his best friends, people he’d fought and lived with for the last 10 years. He knew the wolf would be better off living in the cold north where it was free, but he still had to be the strong hard leader everyone expects him to be. Had he gone to say his goodbyes to the wolf he’d have either looked weak or cried and looked super weak.
I know your post is about people being too obsessed with animals and not concerned enough with actual humans, but that’s my breakdown of that GOT scene. The fact is dogs evolved alongside humans. They can read cues from us based on facial expressions and vocal tonality. That’s not to say they’re human, but they are a part of our evolution, the social part. We are such social animals that we even live with and care for other species.
Jackson Russell
Saying we have a "duty" to protect a lesser species kind of devalues the fact that every thing we do to protect species below us is exclusively out of the fact that humans are the most empathetic and selfless race.
Ayden Jackson
If we’re talking about post season 4 neither is intelligent.
Mason Brooks
No I understand, I just think it’s gross that the dog will go licking it’s junk and asshole and other dogs junk and assholes and then immediately make out with its human.

2019: How do I become a Chad 2020: How do I become a dog
I want a doberman so bad. But I don't want to be one of those cunts that gets a dog and keeps them locked up all day because work/school or live in an apartment. So I gotta get me a stay at home wife first and a big backyard
Currently live in a shitty apartment, don't want a doggo all cooped up in this while I'm at work. Once I can afford a better place outside the city I'm definitely getting one. Grew up with dogs all my life, they're the best.
Cameron Watson
I've always said it and it's always been true: white women fuck dogs
Jacob Adams
And a bear would fuck up any of those larger dogs. Wtf is wrong with you? Why are you trying to claim some kind of masculinity points towards a smaller dog? It's pathetic. This is why women do not like you.
