[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what research on the behavior of dog owners have revealed. I'll try to make a long story short. Hopefully this will  improve the understanding between the dog lovers and haters.

Dog owners are mostly inept in social human interactions to begin with. Because of this reason they tend to be loners, have strained relationships with their spouses, sons and daughters and have become distant from most of their friends. This leads to a severe lack of love and affection throughout their lives. To fill this void they seek the attention of "ever faithful mans best friend - dog". Unlike any other relationship they have experienced in their lives before, this one looks unconditional, magical and faithful. Therefore it flourishes rapidly and somewhere down the road mans best friend dog begin to look and feel almost human or more than human ( as someone so passionately pointed out here) and everything comes crashing down from that point onward. Literally the dog becomes your lost spouse, long gone kids or the kid you never had or the mom or dad who never loved you. Then you take him to Home Depot, cut a cake for its bday, give it a heart on valentines, take it to a beach vacation, show it the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, Statue of Liberty and at the end of the day write all your inheritance to your loving dog on your death bed.[/quote]

I am a pp who has posted multiple times on this thread to criticize the Home Depot dog lady and her muddled writing style.  And I confess that I don't like dogs.  But I disagree that all dog owners are socially inept.  I do know many happily married dog owners who have lots of friends.  The bad dog owners are inconsiderate, dim-witted people who just happen to own dogs.  I have friends I love who are dog owners (they are responsible about keeping their dogs in dog-friendly zones that won't inconvenience others, and they understand that not everyone wants to be licked, jumped on, or even around their pet).

Some dog owners are great.  The Home Depot dog owner is likely inconsiderate and oblivious in other areas of her life; the fact that she owns a dog isn't the element that renders her clueless.  [/quote]
