They are considered to be a man’s best friend. They are the most popular pet in the world, out numbering cats and fish. In every neighborhood there is at least one house with a fence and this creature outside. They come in all different shapes and sizes and you can hear them talk from a block away. These creatures are called dogs. Yes, dogs are cute and can be funny at times but they can also be a pain if they are not properly trained.
What I mean by not properly trained is when owners think their dogs will listen to them if they just call their name. I don’t know how many times I have been running and a dog has escaped and chased me while their owner just stands there calling the dog’s name. About 90% of the time the dogs don’t listen to their owners and continue to follow me. Eventually the dogs give up and go back to their house where their owners are still standing and watching. The dogs give me a scare because I always think they are going to bite me.
Something that bothers me even more is when dog owners say “Oh, he/she won’t hurt you” when their dog is chasing you down the street. First of all, how do they know that you’re not allergic or scared of dogs? How do they know their dogs are not going to bite you? Dogs, just like any animal, are unpredictable and if they get spooked they will not think before they act, they will try to protect themselves.
I also question why dog owners feel the need to bring their dogs to crowded events or fireworks. Dogs don’t enjoy being around thousands of people in a hot place or listening to loud fireworks. They are not humans so don’t treat them like they are.
The last pet peeve I have with dog owners is that they feel its okay for their dog to lick you. This is a nasty habit and not everyone wants to be licked by a dog so don’t let your dog near people unless you ask them first.
So dog owners think twice about where you allow your dog to room. Not everyone is a dog person even though it is the most popular pet in the world.
