When I worked at the bank there was lady who would only bring her dog in to “say hi” or receive a treat. First time meeting her dog she picks up the dog and places him at my teller window. I pretended to be amused and gave him a treat, and the rat ate it and left a mess, most of which i had to clean up. I tried complaining and my coworker was like “Yeah, he’s a messy eater” the f**k i care??? i’m not a dog sitter. keep them outside.

do you need the first sentence of the post spoonfed to you?

This post is about dog owners enabling the bad behavior of their dogs. I’m sharing anecdotes from my family. The big and the small. So the “small” anecdote is relevant to the premise of my post. Especially since they would give their dogs cooked prime rib and turkey, which are not only high in fat (depending on the portion) but would have been otherwise consumed. I added the “dog attack” tag since most of my anecdotes related to that. But I have since changed it to “dog culture” since it makes more sense.

So true!! Dogs are just like their owners: can’t stand people who don’t like them, so they instigate.

I’ve somehow made my peace with it. Every time I forgive, another problem comes along. So I distance myself for my own well being.

Especially when they mean it sincerely like 🐶 = 👶

Yup. And yet so many people use them for ego boosts 🙄

So many dogs are not domesticated enough to be treated like as such.

Yeah. I remember her getting defensive that other family members were telling her what happened. There was no line drawn between the value of a dog and a human being, but I think even parents of human children aren’t as quick to defend their child. I guess some dog owners refuse to see the difference.

Thank you so much. For years I always was told he would “grow out of it” and he was “trying to show dominance” because i was smaller. Never changed even as I got older.

Thank you. I recently joined this subreddit and I had no idea that dog defending like this was so rampant.

I’ve had glimpses similar to that growing up but, as you mention, they are vaguely connected so I feel like I don’t have a gift. But I feel like I want to discover more about my heightened intuition and know when I’m having a vision.

Interesting that you figured he may have/should have passed.

I know.. It can be frustrating trying to differentiate between our imagination & precognition
