Do you like my puppy's paws, /r9k/?
I figured you guys would like this. Cute, right?
what dog?
>>27679591
Looks like a choco lab.
>>27679586
Those are some cute paws anon
Make sure you handle his paws a lot and train him to love having his nails clipped/dremmeled. You'll thank yourself when he's big. Kikopup on youtube has some good videos on this.
>>27679586
There's nothing cute about a dogs paws. Go shill your childish pet propaganda elsewhere. Why do you have to use stupid language like cute and puppy? Is it to affect an innocent carefree attitude?
I hope your shitty dog gets run over in front of you.
owning a German shepherd is literally my only life goal. one day il live in a place fit for one, this one room apartment wont do
>>27679744

Don't worry anon, she's already a 70 lb behemoth and well used to having her paws handled.

Dog fags are scum of the earth, we'd be better off if you all shot your shitty dogs then turned the gun on yourself.
>>27679887
You're contributing to the cancer that is pet culture and dog ownership. You don't even know why you've been indoctrinated to desire your stupid little dog and now you've pinned your hopes on dumb animal that it will somehow improve your life. Grow up.

Nice meme dumb ass. It's simply rational to dislike dogs and their shitty owners. In the steaming shit pile that is pet owners you come out as some of the worst. You are the most narcissistic and selfish people as well as being maladjusted emotional children.

>Dog fags are scum of the earth
You realise that dogs were the first domesticated animal and have been companions to humans for like 20,000 years?
In fact, many theories suggest that it was our alliance with dogs that helped us out compete neanderthals, as they hunted dogs for food while we utilized them to help us hunt and fight
>>27680261
therefore this means that the dogs are the least evolved domesticated animals
>>27680261
The use of dogs in history and people's relationship to them is completely removed from how they are treated now. They weren't dressing the dogs around the camp up in knitted sweaters and posting photos on cavebook hoping for likes.
>inb4 muh hunting
A small minority of dogs used in recreational activity by few people.
>>27680305
No, it doesn't. It means that dogs have gone through tens of thousands of years of selective breeding to make them as useful to us as possible, whether as companions, guards or for other services.
>>27680345
>They weren't dressing the dogs around the camp up in knitted sweaters and posting photos on cavebook hoping for likes.
I'm by no means defending that, I find it disgusting that people are allowed to breed dogs that are so small/wrinkly/long/whatever that they develop serious health issues, there is definitely an issue today with people breeding dogs purely for looks. But that doesn't change the fact that a lot of breeds of dog are, nowadays, bred simply to be companions. (although the vast majority of dogs outside of the first world are still working dogs)
>>27680358
And yet the vast majority of pet dogs are fucking useless.
>>27680433
Cavemen dogs weren't fucking companions that did nothing else.
The pet dog now is useless. People who's dog is their companion are overly attached to their animal and delude themselves into believing it's their friend.
>>27680444
again, I completely agree that the trend of lapdogs and breeding dogs to the point of serious health issues for the sake of size and aesthetics is terrible, but that hardly tarnishes the history and current use that dogs have involved with humans (not to mention that the entire concept of a "dog" wouldn't exist without humans, they don't exist in the wild)
>>27680497
>The pet dog now is useless.
Well most large breeds offer a modicum of safety, and if it's trained at all then many breeds can work as effective guard dogs for a house or some such. Not to mention the fact that companionship in itself is a use?
>People who's dog is their companion are overly attached to their animal and delude themselves into believing it's their friend.
Why wouldn't you consider it a friend? You enjoy each others company, it reciprocates affection as you give it, how is it anything but a friend?
>>27680508
>current use that dogs have involved with humans
Which is? Outside of niche things like seeing eye dogs and k9 units what purpose do they have?
>>27680573
Most dogs aren't guard dogs and the average dog owners is not getting a dog for that purpose.
>considering dog a friend
lol it's a fucking stupid dog, are you also friends with house plants?
>dog fags says he'd save his dog before saving another person from burning building
You people are sick in the head.
>>27680650
>Most dogs aren't guard dogs and the average dog owners is not getting a dog for that purpose.
Just because a dog isn;t trained to attack intruders doesn't mean it cant be a god guard dog, my mate in high school had a retarded little terrier that would start to bark up a storm if anyone so much as began to walk down the drive of their house at night. Alarm dog is a more accurate term than guard dog, although many large breeds will act as both even without training.
>lol it's a fucking stupid dog, are you also friends with house plants?
I mean, I know you're trolling, but I'm bored and drunk so I'm not sure how to answer this without sounding condescending
>You people are sick in the head.
I never said that etc. etc.
try harder
>>27680650
i am a friend with my venus flytrap, she's my partner for over 15 years at this point. no dogs though for me.
>>27680761
I'm not trolling but I am laughing that you think a retarded dog is your friend. I love those kind of friends who you can never communicate with and are too stupid to have human like emotions.
A dog is simply an expensive stuffed animal for children like yourself.
The vast majority of dogs shouldn't exist and serve no purpose other than the vague idea of their being companions for pathetic owners. The environmental impact alone is non-trivial.
Are you like most dogfags who think it's good that you can't kill stray dogs?
>>27680815
Should tie the knot.
>>27680858
>I love those kind of friends who you can never communicate with and are too stupid to have human like emotions.
Actually, there's been a lot of recent research showing that dogs can understand and react to human emotion quite well

I mean, it's not really surprising considering how we guided the evolution of the entire species.
>The vast majority of dogs shouldn't exist
Completely agree here, breeding for aesthetics is cruel and leads to many breeds with massive health defects
>Are you like most dogfags who think it's good that you can't kill stray dogs?
I mean, if it attacks people or is obviously in pain/ill then go ahead as long as you're humane about it, are you like most edgelords who thinks inflicting unnecessary pain on lesser species is fun?
>A dog is simply an expensive stuffed animal for children like yourself.
The fact you say stuff like this makes it really hard to take you seriously man, I don't even own a dog

Post more of your cute pup, OP, please.
you americans discussing about dogs have no idea about dogs who get thrown out on the street
you have laws about that and effective services
but here, in post-2nd world in 3rd world countries stray dogs are a real problem
in my city they kill someone every other month or so
even in USA there are 10000s of victims of dogs
they also spread viruses including rabies
>>27681114
But why? Did you have a bad experience with one as a kid or something?
>>27681067
cats r cute
dogs aren't
there isn't pretty much any use for a pet except being cute
>>27681136
Well, yeah? If anything that's an argument for the love and care of dogs and the abhorrence of abandoning them to form feral populations rather than an argument against dogs themselves.
Bear in mind there's no such thing as a wild dog, dogs literally only exist because of living with humans, and feral dogs only exist because people haven't properly cared for their dogs.
>>27681162
no
I just don't want your fucking smelly slobbering retard shittily trained dog being all up in my fucking personal space jumping on me barking licking me
>oh, just tell him to sit Anon

Here's when she was little
>>27681235

Nah, she's a qt.
>>27681321
>tell him to sit, bullshit, he doesn't even listen to you, why the hell do you think he would listen to me?
Then I'm sorry you've only encountered people with shitty untrained dogs
I've no idea what it's like in the US, but here in the UK dog training is a big deal. There are a ton of government and charity ads and services saying that if you don't have the time/knowledge to properly train and raise a dog then you definitely shouldn't buy one.

You're making me wish I had one too.
>>27681309

>>27680057

>>27681357
it's like the dogs know I don't like them so they do their utmost to be as annoying as possible
god damn those literal sons of bitches
>>27681416
Yes, but dogs have been shown to be able to recognize subtle human showings of emotion, such as body language and facial expression.
Seriouslu, do some reading on the subject, it's fascinating how our intertwined evolution with and artificial selection of dogs has led to them being pretty primally linked with us. In fact they're the only animal (other than other humans) that will take emotional cues from a humans face and eyes rather than body language as a whole. This is why dogs can "tell" when you're sad or happy or whatever, they can pick up on minute changes that oftentimes other people wouldn't be able to see.
Again, before you call me dogfag or whatever, I'm speaking as a biologist rather than a dog owner
>>27681498

Regardless of your studies (which you exaggerate) a dog cannot communicate with a human in any meaningful way and cannot be a friend. It is at best a tool.
>Completely agree here, breeding for aesthetics is cruel and leads to many breeds with massive health defects
That's not what I said. This is third time you have said this, is it the go to phrase for the moderate dogfag?
Mutts shouldn't exist either.
>I mean, if it attacks people or is obviously in pain/ill then go ahead as long as you're humane about it
Why is it necessary that it be hurt or attack people? A stray dog is worthless and an invasive species. At best a nuisance and at worst a danger. They are vermin and should be exterminated. It's ridiculous that average person cannot kill stray dogs on the spot.
>are you like most edgelords who thinks inflicting unnecessary pain on lesser species is fun?
Since when is killing pests unnecessary? Also there's no reason to get upset about someone hurting a stray dog, most people don't cry about mice getting stuck in traps. Why is a dog any different?
>The fact you say stuff like this makes it really hard to take you seriously man, I don't even own a dog
It's true though.
>>27681067
What's your point? I agree cats are useless in most cases.
>>27681114
Just poison them or hit/kick them if the dog is on you. Especially if it's unleashed and you have leash laws. It's great how upset an impotent dog owner gets when you kick their unleashed mutt in the face. I guess it's too hard to obey the law for them.
>>27681202
>If anything that's an argument for the love and care of dogs and the abhorrence of abandoning them

>a dog cannot communicate with a human in any meaningful way and cannot be a friend.
I (and the vast majority of dog owners) completely disagree. A dogs body language can show a huge range of emotions, and it's not very hard at all to learn to interpret these
>It is at best a tool.
Why are the two mutually exclusive?
>Mutts shouldn't exist either.
Why?
>Why is it necessary that it be hurt or attack people?
Because otherwise it's not doing any harm?
>A stray dog is worthless and an invasive species.
Worthless is arguable, but they are not in any way an invasive species. They don't outcompete any natural species, they don't endanger other animals, and they do no harm to crops or the like. They are primarily urban scavengers which have no bearing on people for the most part.
>They are vermin
They're quite literally not, but it's obvious you don't care much for actual facts
>It's ridiculous that average person cannot kill stray dogs on the spot.
Why?
>Since when is killing pests unnecessary?
Explain how they're pests? They kill no crops and damage no property
>Also there's no reason to get upset about someone hurting a stray dog, most people don't cry about mice getting stuck in traps. Why is a dog any different?
For one, because mice are actively killed due to them actually being vermin/pests, and because dogs are understood to have a very high level of direct and emotional intelligence for an animal.

They're stupid animals and even if they have basic abilities to interpret humans it's simply because they are excellent parasites.

I've heard this and seen this so many times lol. It's almost always some pseudoscience junk where the owner projects their feelings and expectation onto the animal. The same sign is interpreted in different ways depending on situation. Just more dogfag delusion desu.
>Why are the two mutually exclusive?
I didn't say they were? Them not being capable of being friends is not by dint of them being able to be tools.
Why should a stray mutt exist?
>Because otherwise it's not doing any harm?
A stray dog does do harm retard to the environment, ecosystem, and humans.
>Worthless is arguable, but they are not in any way an invasive species. They don't outcompete any natural species, they don't endanger other animals, and they do no harm to crops or the like.
What worth do they have? Here's some reading :)
http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UFE0044028/00001
It's ridiculous that stray dogs cannot be killed because they are no different than things like rats. I'd love to hear why a stray dog digging in the garbage is any different and deserves not to be put down on the spot. I guess we should wast time and resources capturing it and storing it in a no-kill shelter because god forbid a dog dies meanwhile we slaughter animals everday.
>because dogs are understood to have a very high level of direct and emotional intelligence for an animal.
There's animals that are more intelligent or similarly intelligent animals that nobody gives a shit about. It's funny why only dogs and cats get the privileged treatment it's almost like nobody actually cares in some structured way and simply doesn't want muh cute pups and kittys killed.
