[quote=6packscaredy]I doubt that the myth of the dog in general matches up to dog reality both in terms of how good the dog is and how much time a nd interaction actually occurs. The dog carries a lot of psychological baggage for people.
I am not mak ing sense.
Dogs mean something I don’t get currently. Being a dog hater is just a few steps up from child molest or nowadays I’d say. It wasn’t always this way.[/quote]
This is probably because your dog just bit someone needing 50 stitches and there will probably be some insurance claim. For people who have had great dogs, the choice is very easy, especially if, say, they just got messed with in a foreign country (more hate for foreigners) or, say loss their job to outsourcing, whatever…
I think the situation just leads to feeling one way vs. the other…
