Yep, I'm pretty sure your dog doesn't love you!

I don't need a dog: I have family and friends...

"A truly evil person would link to this post at a number of dog and cat forums."


Hey: call in as many as you like, Beastmaster!

A thousand voices promoting insanity are still insane.

"Oh, and both my dog and I disagree with you."


I'm sure 'you' do, but did you ask the dog?

I wrote: 'I prefer to love and be loved by those who I can talk to.'

That should read, 'I prefer to love and be loved by those who I can talk with.'

and

I wrote: 'You believe a wet nose pressed to yours 'means' something.'

That should read: 'You believe a wet, dog, nose pressed to yours is equivalent to a human lover's or toddler's.'

Imprecision: the bane of lucid communication.

"There have been many examples of animals willing to die for their "owners" What would you call that, if not love, Henry?"


Can you cite sources for this claim?

If you can: I'd love to read about these animals.

As of now: we have an unsupported claim which I chalk up to urban myth and misinterpretation of circumstance.

But: I could be wrong. Before I admit that I need the evidence.

Interesting. Isn't this the same henry that started a thread about 'peace' without defining what he meant by 'peace'?
