Dogs

Awww.

Daddy's home !

Dogs are the fucking BEST!

Looks like it might be a Bernerse mountain dog. Aside from being gentle giants, they can be trained to be excellent rescue dogs. Sweet.

No argument here.

Man's best friend!

But the real question is: Is man dog's best friend?

Hmmm, not always.

OP's pic looks like a Keeshond mix.

R7 - that gives me the sads.

also dogs

He tried SO hard.

Awww bestest thread ever!!

"Be the person your dog thinks you are"

(saw that sign in a restaurant)

Dogs are the best. So much cat-love on DL

The most awesome thing about my dog is his almost supernatural ability to appear by my side within seconds of me opening the refrigerator, no matter how far away he is or how deeply he seems to be sleeping.

Dogs are OK but they're more trouble compared to cats.

And they give a hell of a lot more back.

Not true.

R10 I want lobster catching dogs! Those certainly are working dogs.

PIT BULLS KILL

Your pet loves you unconditionally and will risk its life to save you.

A cat would make sure you never leave the water.

Not for the squeamish.

OP and others, do you think the dog in the OP knew what he was doing? As much as dogs “know”, I mean. There are a number of clips on YouTube with similar “savings” by doggos, that do not look like they are trained to be lifeguards.

I miss my old dog.

R22 I don’t even need to read it. Set that mother fucker on fire.

R24, yeah, he’s a normal appearing guy, but terribly messed up. He got a l.o.n.g. prison term.

I don’t use online dating, but the “bar scene” at least gave you a chance to screen guys you wanted to pickup. I think you can usually tell nutcases after a short conversation. I’m not sure that’s true on the Internet.

R24 I completely agree.

There is a scientific book on dogs know when theor owners are coming home! I love my super cute rescue Scottie 😀

I love all dogs even pitties.

R23 Yes, I think the dog knows exactly what it is doing. It looks like a Bernese, and they have a very strong pack mentality. It probably recognises the child as a puppy in its pack, sees it in apparent danger, and instinctively acts to remove it from harm.

The instinct needs to be carefully trained, though. I saw a youtube videomajig some time ago where a woman couldn't swim in her own pool without her Newfoundlands diving in and trying to "rescue" her.

For everyone who thinks it looks like a Bernese...

The big dog in R11 is tied to that treadmill. That’s not a good thing. I was always very careful to make sure my dog wouldn’t choke when tied to a leash. Usually we didn’t tie him. Instead, we put him in a pen. Unfortunately, he would sometimes get out. When he did, he’d usually go visit my grandmother about a mile away. Or, he had a girlfriend a mile and a half away. When we’d drive to pick him up, we’d just find them both sitting in the shade, hanging out in her front yard. What a goober.

There's always some sociopathic asshole on DL who enjoys ruining threads.

You must be the same sicko troll who posts endless fist fucking clips!

That dog in OP is just trying to save his meal

That’s you, bub!

Dogs make the world a much better place.

Squirrel burying nuts in a dog's fur. The doggy is so good; I'd have smacked that rat halfway to Toledo.

I love both dogs and cats. I think both have huge positives and some negatives. It is especially great when they get along.

The only issue I have with dogs is there need to walk/restroom and the need to find someone to watch them when out of town. I can get someone to watch a cat once a day but watching a dog is involves much more.

Yes, and they give back so much more!

amazing

I love dogs. Purebred dog enthusiasts can rot in hell. Millions of dogs are mistreated and euthanized every year, but these Insufferable cunts need to keep making more.

Cats are way better. You don't have to walk them. They know where to pee and poop.

And they'll turn on you when you least expect it.

Wrong. I had the most loving cat for 16 years before she passed, and my new cat is just as sweet.

"BooBoo," the Love of our Lives -

All she knows is Love and what Love means. When she wants even more Love from us, she stands next to us to place her spongy little paw on our foot, and leaves it there, all while smiling and making eye contact: "I Love You, Papa."

Of course the dog on OPs gif knows what it's doing. I love both cats and dogs, but dogs are more high maintenance and need bigger spaces. Cats independence give you more freedom.

How can you not love them?!
