people with dogs

Why do people with dogs think everyone else should love dogs..

On a packed bus and some pr1ck with his mutt letting the dog sit up on the seat. After flipping he looked at me like i insulted his mother..

I couldn't give a rats ass what you think of my dog.

Stravos Murphy

Seemingly people love riding in front of their dogs too.

RobertKK

Your pet dog gives you unconditional love, even if people on buses don't.

Could you not have asked him to get the dog off the seat without flipping?

Wait, so you have a seat, the other person has a seat, and you're at him about the dog? Why?

And you do realise that if it's allowed on the bus it's probably a guide dog?

Fair enough and true. I always loved my dogs but I never expected anybody else to feel that way about them. Indeed, I can fully understand that many people don't like dogs or are afraid of them.

No, it's at the discretion of the driver presuming it was Dublin bus, not sure about other company policys though. And a guide dog would know not to get on a seat I'd say.

I never seen the appeal of a dog.... picking up the mess when walking it would be too much of a reason not to have one.

Just yesterday I was walking behind a woman when her dog decided to make its business on the door step of a Chinese take-away.... she picked it up, but I think she should have done something to prevent the location choice.

DEFTLEFTHAND

He shouldn't have had his dog up on a bus seat in fairness.

Electric Sheep

Nobody wants to sit on a seat that a dog's dirty ass was sitting on previously.

RollieFingers

Get your stinking dog off the bus, unless it's a guide dog of course!

As long as she picked up the dog **** it's fine.

I thought helper dogs were only allowed on public transport

andekwarhola

Special mention for people that let their large dogs sprint over toward you and your kids when you're out walking before eventually getting over to tell you they're harmless.

It's OK mate, we could tell that by telepathy, don't worry.

Guide dogs are always allowed on public transport, but it is at the drivers discretion whether a pet dog will be let on. Some bus drivers will allow it and others will never allow a pet on a bus. It's basically up to the driver.

Badly Drunk Boy

I don't like the idea of dogs on the seat on public transport, but I don't think I've ever witnessed it, even guide dogs. (Actually, maybe I have seen a guide dog on the train, but not on a bus.)

themagiconion

Maybe that dog owner decided to put the dog on the seat beside him/her so it wouldn't block the isle.

IvyTheTerrible

I don't have a problem with dogs on public transport, but I do with them sitting on a seat and rubbing their hole on it.

In that case the dog's dirty ass should be on the owner's lap, not on a bus seat.

Turtyturd

Special mention to the assh*les with extendable dog leads who walk on one side of the path while letting the dog walk on the other. F*ck anyone who might be walking in the opposite direction.

Fr_Dougal

Maybe it was a dog who identified as a human.

The owners who cycle while having their dog on a lead are a better example I think.

In all probability the dog is probably cleaner and smells nicer than most people on public transport.

Cats.

I agree, the seats are not for dogs in regards to hygiene, but I could say that about some certain people as well.

I love animals. I grew up in a house full of them but some people are just weird about them.

I remember reading years ago that something like 30 or 40 percent of pet owners would rescue their pet rather than a strangers baby if a building was on fire. I just can't get my head around rescuing a dog or cat over a human baby.

Editing: I just googled and found this.

If you're jogging, it's assumed that you're delighted with the choice of (a) running up a grass verge /veering on to the road (b) being forced to practically brush off their scary looking mutt.

Salut.

I'd say most dogs are cleaner than most people and i'd sit on a bus seat after a dog with no hesitation.
Guide dogs don't sit on seats.
Responsible dog owners look aftet and teach their dog well.

While that is an extreme example, I also like to be considerate of the people who dont like kids.

In my experience kids are far more of a nuisance and dirtier than any dog, be it in on public transport or elsewhere.

Parents of said kids have to show consideration to the folk who dont think the sun shines out of little Johnnys hole. In my experience most parents let kids run riot in most places, annoy the **** out of everyone and then get horrified when and if its brought up, as if kids have a divine right to be loved by everyone.

Yeah it's a real issue for me bringing my kids out in public: what with them biting people, barking at joggers; dry humping other kids, sh1tting on football pitches and licking their testicles.

It's still a child. I can't see how anyone can defend letting a child (Or any other human) die just to save an animal.

If I was to flip it around that someone would kill a child rather than an animal it's even more clear how wrong that is.

Flipped out..... wannabe hardman speak for being a c0ck

People generally control their dogs and look after them in public, same can't be said for most people with their kids.

IvyTheTerrible

It isn't an either/or situation. People with dogs should respect other passengers, the same as people with children.

Me? Dogs. Had kids. Gave them away

Bit of a generalisation that. There are responsible and irresponsible pet owners and parents. I'd say there's probably a huge correlation between the two.

andekwarhola

Have kids and a cat.

Like dogs though. Just don't really have space and time for one unfortunately.

Seriously, Andek; I have Dogs. I Never take them into town. Even on the tracks around us, I pick up their sh!t and sling it in the ditch. I can't believe the way people, in the town, let their Dogs crap where ever, and just walk on with their noses in the air! Those people appal me!

In any form of shared transport? My Dog will sit on my lap. It doesn't even get to look at the driver / fellow passenger, unless they specifically encourage it.

I've no idea what sort of a Father I'd have made. But, I'm sure asd hell my own kids would have had manners and respect for other people.

Anyway; Please forgive my manner, everyone. I'm coming down from a major flare up here Real life just got in the way of forum mentality there.

Apologies. Carry on

Dunno if it's just me. Or if they've already stopped the showing of photo's on here?

Anyway, this is one of my kids. Little Baaaaastards!

I judge people who don't like dogs.

Tells you immediately that there's something wrong with them. That they have some kind of personality flaw.

I don't mean afraid of them, that explainable. I mean people who actually don't like dogs, to the point that they'll grimace when they see one or have a rant about them. It's just plain weird.

I don't dislike dogs. I dislike irresponsible or clueless dog owners, of which there are unfortunately many.
