[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like dogs perfectly fine, but I don’t get why it seems to be such a thing for Americans to be so enamored of dogs. 
It seems like it’s more acceptable to say that you don’t like children than admit that you don’t care for dogs.  This doesn’t seem to be as prevalent in other countries. Why is this? [/quote]

There are lots of people who hate them.

Why?[/quote]

+1. Excluding the owners who don’t follow the rules, etc. why do so many people, ESPECIALLY on this site hate dogs? In real life I don’t know many people at all who dislike them. [/quote]

I dislike “dog mom” type dog owners, I am neutral about most dogs (I tend to like goldens and labs, and dislike pits and tiny dogs). I can’t say “I don’t like dogs” out loud because people assume I’m antisocial. In actuality I used to like most dogs , until I had kids, and witnessed off leash dogs 1) eating my kids lunch off of her lap in a park while my kid cried and tried to make it go away, its owner laughed and thought it was cute 2) running up to my kid on the sidewalk and biting her in the leg as she rode her scooter on the sidewalk 3) barking incessantly at us as we try to walk to elementary school and it’s tied up at the street corner (not allowed in school property) and lunging at kids walking past, once causing a kid to scream and jump into the road narrowly missing being hit by a car 4) bark for hours on end in the yard as the owners ignore it 5) licking my dog allergic toddler in the stroller despite me yelling at it and the owner (this dog was leashed even, but the owner just let it run up to the stroller and start licking) causing hives all over his face. Man I could go on, too. [/quote]
