dogs are only okay.

[ahat]

Not to change the subject but people who have snakes or spiders as pets can’t be trusted !!!!!

I never understood this

You're a cat owner

Im a cat owner

Cats dying for us b? I was unaware

Most they'll probably do is knead your dead body cause they're hungry and you're just laying there

DC is a cat owner?

Explains so much

 

[cosmiccoffee9]

Didn't read the op

then you don't understand the original proposition. it's cool, thanks for the bump.

 

[danikerhino]

Can't compare.

One group doesn't know when their next meal is

One group can snap their fingers and dumb humans come a runnin.

Too far removed from the wild

They have extremely similar brains and if you act like an alpha, your dog obeys you better and waits for you to give orders a majority of the time.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

The way my dog goes to me when I get home and lays by my side without me doing anything for him is enough for me see he has some sort of connection with me. I don't know if he'd fight another dog for me, but our bond is enough.

Yea but nobody is denying bonds between animals and man exist

When food acquisition changes from hunt to served, I am sure the level of wrecklessness/irrational confidence changes

Right! People own snakes get sick of them when they get too big and release em.

 

[degenerate423]

What else would we call whether or not a dog understands when he is physically mismatched by another animal?

Stupidity
Irrational Confidence
Heart
Pride

Call it what you want.

What you WONT call it is "loyalty" to an arrogant human

Man, you are ASSUMING that dogs think a certain way and getting on people for ASSUMING their dogs think differently . I really don’t care either way. I’m just waiting for my clothes to finish washing .

 

[danikerhino]

Fair enough, but to speak more on your opinion, dogs being territorial can been seen as defending your bond or jealousy. This happens without treats or visible agitation initiating their actions.

Or people that have pet mice and **** like that.

It is simple fight vs. Flight.

That exists in the mind of any competitor in a fight

Again, my issue is the idea that dogs (in general) will die for humans.

Humans would die for humans too.

It is just a baseless statement

Exactly! Who the **** wants a pet rat. My nieces and nephew have a guinea pig and that thing is useless. My sister has to (since her kids won’t) feed it, clean up after it and all it does is stay in its cage all day.

I think they will defend us from other animals that may cause us harm, but I believe most animals are afraid of loud noises so I doubt they'll take a bullet for us based on instincts. But, if you mean figuratively "take a bullet", I think they would in certain situations.

DC look at what #OPinfluence has done to you

Taking a bullet?

Do dogs understand the concept of guns enough to even KNOW to evacute the premesis when a gun is pulled?

So theoretically, they aren't taking a bullet for us.

Mice and rats are actually pretty intelligent.

 

[Bad Moon Rison]

Mice and rats are actually pretty intelligent.

Intelligent or not the only good mouse/rat is a dead one imo.

Figuratively, FIGURATIVELY....

Lol

 

[All Ready]

dogs are cool

I just don’t like most people who have one

You can apply this for humans defending other humans. Some dogs may fight for owners, for selfishness, or turn tale.

 

[Bad Moon Rison]

Lol

Same with snakes/spiders a dead one is the only kind of good one.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Why are you assuming he is fighting for you and not for his pride (if he were to quit).

Also, are we factoring in the dogs that would also not fight and/or run when placed in that situation?
