HELLO?
THAT WASN'T LOVE. THAT WAS JUST CHECKING EACH OTHER OUT. BUT THEY DO LOVE AND THE FEEL WHAT WE FEEL, SO QUIT BEING SO DAMN CRUEL TO ANIMALS!
doggone cute from tail to snoot
THANK GOD THERE WAS NO GOLDEN RETRIEVERS LISTED IN THE TOP 10 DOGS!!! I AM SO SICK OF SEEING THESE SLOBBERING-OBNOXIOUS-CROTCH SNIFFING FUR BALL MACHINES EVERYWHERE...AND THEY HAVE ZERO PERSONALITY. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOUR LIST. I HAVE A WESTIE, MY SISTER HAS A PUG, AND MY IN-LAWS HAVE A BORDER COLLIE...ALL SUPER DOGS!!!!
YOU ARE SO MEAN ABOUT GOLDEN RETRIEVERS. THEY ARE THE SWEETEST MOST LOVING DOGS. SHAME ON YOU.
They are still a match for any breed! They can be very protective also, they will go for you if you threaten their owner. I now have a Australian shepherd, black lab and the mid size large rat saved from the mean streets of a major city (border collie mix) and he really adores me, all great all different wouldn't trade one of them. The slobber I could do without on the G. Retrievers.
Picture # 4 MUST be my 2 cats. They look exactly like that! And I thought mine were unique.
They were all very cute dogs, but I have 2 bichons (without the goofy haircuts : ) and I tend to think that they are the best breed ever! They don't shed, unique personalities, and can entertain you for hours with their crazy antics. I wouldn't have another breed myself, but thats because these 2 have spoiled me. They are the sweetest dogs ever!
These 10 dogs are great as well as many breeds missing on the list, but, I SURE DO LOVE MY 70lb MUTT AND SHE LOVES ME! She, too, is smart, affectionate and beautiful. And she has a sense of humor. I wish my spouse were more like my dog.
maybe if your spouse was totally dependent 100% on you for food water medical treatment, shelter, its very life, then he would be more like your pet, your pet doesnt love you in the way you think, it just is smart enough to know that it needs you and for that is willing to be your companion, thats it no love, no matter how much you want to hollar about it
sandra, i'm sure mike is just confusing a dog's love for his family with the fake affection of the prostitutes he has to use for relief. read his other posts, the guy has all the compassion of a toadstool, he should stick with the comicon websites and leave us real pet lovers alone.
I love the cats. Mine do that all the time. I have two dogs, but I love cats more, they're just so sweet and funny.
whoa - calm down mike! ( #7 comment) sounds like comment #6 hit an exposed nerve! i guess you've never had a dog care for you. happy valentines day - hope it's filled with love for or from something in your world of pain.
monkey,, how wrong you are i have 2 mini schnauzers, that are like family, but i do not try to put human emotions on them, they are friends,constant companions, and protect the family and home, but its for one reason, i care for them, food water, shelter, if myself and family were tomorrow to give them away they would do the same for the next people who cared for them,they are smart enough to know they need people, and thats where it stops for a animal,
Mike, Mike, Mike . . . (comments #7 & 10) why not just enjoy your pets the way you enjoy them, and let others enjoy theirs in their own way? Does the world suffer more because someone else wants to believe his or her dog "loves" him or her? C'mon. I know when I leave my dog at the vet's office, he cries, and doesn't let up (so the vet tells me) until I return to pick him up. Yes, maybe if he got used to another person, he'd react the same way if that person left him, and maybe he's just "worried" (another human emotion?) that his gravy train has rolled away. However, I like to believe he "misses" me in that situation---and that his missing me translates into something akin to emotion, dare I say it----love. Sorry if that screws with your world.
you are so wrong, dogs who have been abandoned by their care-takers can adapt to new people, but it is not without trauma, for you to say your dogs are like family and then to say they have no feelings, is so hard to reconcile those 2 statements together
Partially true. They also protect, grieve, dream and have true love for certain people. Like the rest of us they have to survive life goes on and they are dogs and can't invent etc.
Perhaps we, as humans, observe these photos of animals in emotion-laced human terms rather than from a perspective of the animal world...a perspective that we may not completely understand, and therefore attach meaning which we indeed do understand...or at least can relate to.
actually, once i looked at the 'love' shots, i noticed that many of the dog interactions are not loving at all but are a submissive dog trying to appease a dominant one, that's not love but fear, maybe later they became friends - but not in those shots
Humans' unique characteristics, hair color, facial features, and the innumerable numbers of differences, are all attributed to a GENOTYPE which, with the exception of identical twins, provides the unique individual differences of each and every human.
Animals (non-human, of course) have a PHENOTYPE. Like a printing press, which produces identical copies, this explains the similar, if not identical appearances of animals of the same breed.
