Dogs are man's best friend, is it true? email this discussion to a friend?

For me they are best friends if you we own them, but if not, hmmm, that's a different story, they maybe good and loyal but why sometimes we saw them on the news, that they are attacking people till death, sometimes they already kill the people. I heard one news, that a pit bull killed a 3 year old girl, and the pit bull owner's was the father.

Dogs that go bad a human's fault, a dog is what it is, a pack animal and one thta is controlled by the pack leader. If the owner, pack leader, is not doing his job and the dog misbehaves it's not the dogs fault.

Yeah your right and i think it is the fathers fault why her daughter is dead now. What a sad story for that family.

The father should be responsible to the affair.It's not the dog's fault only.

sure, they're the best friends for men, they're always happy to see you, and every time you're outside for some hours and yuo return at home they welcome you home. They're so happy when you touch them and they listen to you and your commands. it seems that they can understand you and what do you want from them. I've a dog, he's 12 years, also if he's so old every time i come home he wolcome me and he want some cuddles.

I also have dogs, yes their are really that welcoming and lovely, well i guess it is really the fault of the owner why do their dogs act like that.

I;d like to think that my dogs are my best friend. Normally, if there is something wrong with the animal it is either genetic or it is the fault of its handler/owner. Other than that, they are loyal and protective. I don't see why they should be judged by a few dogs who have gone bad.

If you judge dogs by saying that a pit bull killed a 3 year old then I can easily argue a point where humans kill and do terrible things, too. Your best friend can be capable of doing a lot of terrible things given the right trigger. Does that make all people bad? Of course not.


myLot reputation of 99/100. rjvb26 (293)   ranked 932 out of 9,670 in dogs  3 weeks ago

That's nice and you are right, it really depends on the owner, and besides Human commit mistakes, what more for them.

Dog's aren't bad. Irresponsible people are bad. Trained dogs don't do this. People who are responsible dog owners also train their kids how to be around dogs. What a sad story but no one is to blame but the father.


myLot reputation of 99/100. rjvb26 (293)   ranked 932 out of 9,670 in dogs  3 weeks ago

You are right, it's the fathers fault in the first place if he trained the dog well, it will not kill he daughter. And i heard, the dog is hungry that time, it's really their fault they did not give the dog a food, even a human can do bad things if they are hungry, what more them, they are only dogs. But are pit bulls really that scary?


casarivasplata (26)  3 weeks ago

Are pit bulls scary? Depends on the breeding and the environment. I heard that the cocker spaniels have the highest bite ratio. How cute those dogs are! But because of that, people probably have a tendency not to train them. So they bite, but aren't reported because the bites aren't severe. Pit bulls happen to have very strong bites and a very bad reputations.

I have known quite a few pit bulls but the people I know are responsible dog owners. Those pits that I knew were some of the sweetest, well behaved dogs who also loved kids. I personally had a rottweiler who was the best dog we have ever owned. He was a 105 pound lap dog who helped my two kids learn how to walk when they were babies.

I don't think dogs should be judged by their breed. Just like people. They are individuals!

Well, in some little ways, dogs are a friend. But in general, they are pets and not friends. Friends are people who will care for you, love you and take care of you when you are in need. Friends are those people who have feelings, who can talk to you and give your some comforting words of wisdom, compared to the bark of a dog. Humans are still man's best friend - but the greatest friend is the one who died for us and paid the penalty of our sin. His name is Jesus Christ - the true friend who promised He never leave thee nor forsake thee.


myLot reputation of 99/100. rjvb26 (293)   ranked 932 out of 9,670 in dogs  3 weeks ago

I admire for that, the true man's best friend is Jesus.

I the real sense of what was coined after dogs, they are still mans' best friends. Dogs have their natural instinct to be territorial. If you go beyond their territory, they will attack you. But they are really loyal... you might beat them, spank them or treat them badly but they will remain faithful and loyal to you.


myLot reputation of 99/100. rjvb26 (293)   ranked 932 out of 9,670 in dogs  3 weeks ago

Yes they do have natural instincts, they are too loyal and to lovable, so good to be true right? But some dogs do fight back if beaten. Well i guess it really depends on their handlers. Then why beat them if they do nothing. I also heard of stories of dogs, who sacrifices their life for their owners and some rescue their owners.

I love dogs and think they are mans best friend! Its the way they are brought up thats the worry as we have 2 staffies and they've been known to be in the papers, but ours are so soft stupid and happy they wouldnt hurt a soul! and i know they are great around children. In the UK Pitbulls are banned and are illegal to own as they have been used as fighting dogs, now if you bring up dogs like that and its
in the blood line what do peopled expect? They are also not there for our protection, people seem to think that its alright to teach them to be nasty in some situations and i think this is wrong because that way they have got it in their head that sometimes its ok to be aggressive and to me thats dangerous.
I love all dogs and have been brought up with them (mum used to breed them) and have two staffies a Dalmation and a Golden Retriever and they have never hurt anyone! Sorry for ranting its just i feel passionate about this subject so very good discussion thanks.


myLot reputation of 99/100. rjvb26 (293)   ranked 932 out of 9,670 in dogs  3 weeks ago

O i see so pit bulls are banned, now i know, but why do people still have the kind of dog, i also have a Dalmatian and a Labrador. My Labrador is a silent type and my Dalmatian is the aggressive type, aggressive in terms of she is very playful. But with other people around she is dangerous, we do not teach her to be like that, but i think it's normal for them. My Labrador doesn't care about the people around him LOL, he do not even bark, he only barks when he is hungry. But my Dalmatian? O no, it's better to have a little distance specially when we are with her. She is very protective.


myLot reputation of 92/100. loneraver (136)   ranked 6,718 out of 9,670 in dogs  3 weeks ago

i suppose it just depends on the d itself and only the dog and the owner o what they are capable of and should act on this. As like you say ur Dalmation cant be trusted much like that so you keep your distance which is fair enough i think. Our Dalmation is totally the opposite of yours though she is so chilled and she loves people and other animals! She is getting on a bitnow though bless her dont think he got much go leftin her:(


myLot reputation of 99/100. rjvb26 (293)   ranked 932 out of 9,670 in dogs  3 weeks ago

Yes! I was also thinking about that.

yes, I agree dogs are man's best friend, once I had a dog named boomer and he's cure and strong he would walk by my side when I was in my primary years and I cried and cried when my dog boomer was sideswiped by a car and he died instantly, well when it comes to dogs also we must be responsible enough to train our pets and love them so that they won't get irritated or annoyed because these are animals.

Is dog man's best friend? Is man dog's best friend? Ever since the domestication of the dog from the wild, dog has been man's best friend. A symbiotic relationship has developed. Today, ladies keep toy dogs as their best friends. It is easier to get loyalty from a a dog than a human, you sometimes hear.


myLot reputation of 99/100. rjvb26 (293)   ranked 932 out of 9,670 in dogs  3 weeks ago

Hahahahahahaha! You hit the jackpot! I 100% agree with you hahahahahah! Can't stop laughing. It is damn true it is easier to get loyalty from a dog than a human.
