Why are dogs so needy?

People are not defined by circumstance... I didn't judge your character or tap into the psychology of why people depend on codependant needy animals to make their lives fulfilling just because you like dogs... Don't make it personal, just accept that some people don't like dogs.
You still haven't said anything funny or cute... so you haven't really contributed anything to the topic, see what I mean? It's a topic about funny and cute.0 -
I have 4 dogs and if I had the space, energy, money, and time and if the city limit wasn't 4, I'd have more. Yes they are needy but they also love you twice as much as you love them. In the long run, they are cheaper than kids. They also don't talk back and can legally be put outside when they get on your nerves... I'd say dogs are way less needy than children
Yep, I've got 7 - all rescues, and including a blind one - and wouldn't change a thing. Plus, the motivation if needing to keep them exercised keeps me in shape (all young lab mixes)! The blind one can EASILY run a 6 minute mile all day long, so he drags me along when I'm running 9 minute miles
Best thing for my work out program ever. 0 -

We're not talking about people, we're talking about you. You are defined by your actions, and your actions as well as inane and immature hatred of dogs is also a very good indicator of the character as well as values you hold. The thought that you are teaching those to your children is quite chilling.0 -
Not all dogs are needy0

http://www.whyihatedogs.com/10-reasons-why-i-hate-dogs/
I read your list
1: not if trained and only to alert if properly trained
2: Actually the reason you kennel train is because a dog prefers a clean environment and does not mess where they sleep.
3:Groom the damn dog, I also expect you to wash your *kitten* so you don't smell
4:Mine will only get angry if you try to harm his family, otherwise he loves and tolerates everything. This is a well balanced dog, just like a human needs to be balanced.
5:Not most slime you, mine does ...he is a mastiff, he only slimes me if he drinks and i do not wipe his mouth.
6: far from ugly, but this is just a personal opinion
7: They need to be a part of the family same as all the members. They only go mental if they are unbalanced just like a person
8: Only if you provide no toys and don't teach them...Think giving a 3 yr old child a crayon and no paper or rules...your walls will be beautiful
9:Clean the yard and train to relieve in only 1 area. I love my back yard and spend many fun family days back there.
10:My Mastiff's best friend is a cat...she is evil to all but him.

Weak troll is weak. Nothing to see here. Anyhoo...

I have a ridiculous number of dog gifs floating around... Hopefully I can actually get them to work.
This might be one of my favourite threads on this site. Aside from the hating going on.0 -
Oh well. Back to the drawing board.People are not defined by circumstance...

My apologies! Here's one for you;
How do you turn a baby into a dog?
Pour some gas over it and light a match... WOOF!

I didn't write this, I just googled "I hate dogs" and quite a few websites popped up, that being one. Which just goes to show there are more than just me in the world who do not like dogs0 -

Of course there are people who hate dogs.
There are people who hate cats, there are people that hate kids.
Most people don't go to a forum specifically for that thing just to talk about how much they hate them.

the initial post said "Why are dogs so needy"....that doesn't exactly scream "I F***ING LOVE DOGS" when you think about it...0 -
I love dogs- but circumstantially- like if you have your own property and place- apartments? HELLZNO.
But right now I'm definitely on the "cat" side. Taking care of a dog in the city is so much of a chore- and so limiting- my BF has a dog- and he is SO needy - that when we talk on the phone- Chaz cries the ENTIRE time. He also is just a chore- extra work for taking trips- making arrangements- they are just by nature- more high maintenance than a cat.
He is just constantly NEEDY.
He was a rescue I think that's part of it.
Shrug- some people are dog people- some people are cat people- some people are baby people some people are horse people- thankfully we don't ALL love and hate the same thing- god- how boring the world would be if we did.0 -
Feel free to create your own thread about how much you hate dogs and we''ll go there and tell you how much we love them.

How do you turn a baby into a dog?
Pour some gas over it and light a match... WOOF!
Buenas tardes!
I'm amused that you didn't even allow one minute to elapse before proving me right. Your poor family.0 -

/shrug.
I'm not going to join the argument. I regret saying anything in the first place.
It became fairly obviously quite quickly that the people on this thread love dogs.

Yes there are those people but they did not feel the need to share with people in a thread clearly of animal lovers. You would not win an argument here, nobody really cares how you feel about dogs, and personally I find it silly that you want to express your opinion about dogs to dog lovers, they like their dogs more than they would probably ever like you.0 -

You're right you win. You win the world. My family is so bad off and doomed for failure because I don't like dogs, YOU CALLED IT! There's a participation ribbon at the back door for you on your way out.0 -
Wow. I hope you don't raise your kids to be half as dumb as you are. Kthxbai.0

Perfect, Less presents to buy for at christmas! In all seriosness, does it matter if they like me? NO... Does it matter if I like dogs? NO.... Sweet jesus, when someone posts a title such as "Why are dogs needy?" is it completely out of the realm of possibility that someone could interpret that as a conversation open for debate?! Had it been titled "I LOVE DOGS, THEY ARE THE REASON I BREATHE" I would have steered clear of that bad boy indefinitely.... Geesh! But now, I find the personal attacks towards me all to prove you're a better person (than me) all because I said I hate dogs to be rather facinating... Very "GroupThink" mentatilty going on.0 -

But when you opened the thread and saw that people were posting cute .gif's that had dogs in them, were talking about how much they like dogs and posting pictures of their own that right there should have told you that this is a thread where animal lovers were going to be.
And I doubt you would have steered clear of a thread that stated it was for dog lovers. Based on what you've said here and the fact that this was CLEARLY a thread about how awesome dogs are you would have charged in and said the exact same things.0 -

I am People love me, and love the fact I am not afraid to defend myself. Just because someone doesn't like something doesn't make them socially unacceptable... Dogs are the bane of my existence... public forums= public opinions... build a bridge and get over it, not everyone loves dogs!
See you next Tuesday!
