Why Is My Dad So Mean To My Dog?
You are probably wondering why your dad is so mean to your dog in such a cruel manner. It is common for dogs to develop a strong bond with humans who treat them well. Some people do not like dogs. In the same way that you have your own reasons for becoming a dog owner, other individuals have their own.
For These Reasons, Most People Do Not Appreciate Owning A Dog.
As a cultural norm, it's assumed that everyone loves dogs. While many people love their dogs, there are those who just don't care for them, and carrying them around may not be an enjoyable experience for them.
This is an example of how frustrating it may be when you're at work and a coworker brings in her dog for the day because it's fun. The dog is likely to come after you, get in the way of your work, or do anything else bothersome.
These antics will not go unnoticed if the dog's owner is aware of them. When her dog is behaving in this manner, she won't ask whether you mind if he continues to do so. This is an office where dogs are as much a part of the culture as Wi-Fi and free coffee, so she won't be able to tug on its leash.
It's more likely that the owner would remark, "Don't worry; he loves people!" than say something more sinister. Oh, well, that's fine. For the time being, I'll take your word for it and ignore the fact that every day, more than a thousand people in the United States seek medical attention after being bitten by a dog. When it comes to emergency room visits, dog bites are more common than choking or falling. If you were bitten by a dog, you're more likely to go to the doctor than contact the fire department. An American dog owner, whether you like it or not, is a danger.
However, you've informed me that your dog likes humans, so there's no need to worry that I'm afraid of him (maybe even truly!). The worst that may happen is that I have an allergy. Or what if I despise your dog for no good reason? Suppose I believe he's filthy because he just stuck his nose in another dog's butt? Then what if I simply want to go through the day without getting slobbered on?
I'm sorry if this comes out as snobbish. You want to slap me and tell me to grow up, to stop being such a snob, and to simply enjoy dogs. But that's because you're a dog lover who sees nothing but the best in all things canine. Dogs are like ice cream to you. Ice cream is a favorite treat for everyone, so who isn't a churl? That's right, I'm that jerk who can't stand dogs.
Let me substitute my 212-year-old son for your dog to give you an idea of how I feel when confronted with it. As much as I like my kid, I have to admit that he is the worst person in the world in terms of socially acceptable conduct. He's a bit of a nuisance. If he's free, he won't pay attention to where he's going and will run into you, on purpose or by mistake, if he's not paying attention. On a flight, he's prone to kicking the seat in front of him since it's hard to keep him from doing so. He picks his nose a lot, and he offers to pick yours when you ask him to. He's prone to saying things that aren't proper. That woman is short! "That lady is short!!" he said in a loud voice while shopping at Target. In addition to all of this, he may be traveling with a diaper that is soaked with pee and poop.
My son is like your dog in that I love him completely and can't see why anybody wouldn't want him around all the time, despite the fact that I know it's crazy. In fact, I believe he's the prettiest person on the planet, even when he's acting in an improper way.
Even so, I managed to rein him in. He may irritate certain people despite his adorableness, and that's something I'm aware of. In order to keep my kid safe in public, I treat him like nuclear waste or a hazardous animal anytime we are in a public place. Contained: I'm keeping him under control. I keep a tight rein on him. In the event that he does anything inappropriate, such as yelling or touching someone, I apologize excessively and make a show of ordering him to stop. The gym, the workplace, and expensive restaurants are all off-limits to my kid, as are adult settings like museums and coffee shops. It's especially bad in the workplace.
While at the gym the other day, there was a puppy in the lobby. There were at least six people stroking and cooing around him. Dobermans are known for their hair-trigger barks—the kind you'd want if you were guarding a large amount of gold bullion.
The dog's owner introduced herself as "Y." Having a dog in a space generally designated for human beings was seen as completely normal, and no explanation was given for its presence. I'd never heard of it before.
In my experience, dogs tend to approach you when you don't want them to, and this dog was no exception. They approach you very close, kissing your face and pleading with you to succumb to their advances. When I reached out to pet the dog, he leaned in to give me a high-five in the canine form of the greeting. Similarly, to how it is disrespectful to leave a high-fiber hanging (particularly if the high-fiver has huge teeth and a powerful jaw)—I was supposed to pat him. I put my hand on his head and rubbed it a little bit. While I assumed he wouldn't attack me, weirder things have occurred, such as dogs snapping and biting humans on a regular basis.
In Any Event, I Was Able To Make It To The Other Side.
But hold on a minute. Please! Why did this dog show up? Why was there no one to object to this dog's presence? During our workout, the dog barked at people passing by the window, but no one said, "Hey, just putting this out there: should we maybe not have this distracting, perhaps hazardous animal near the free weights?"
Anyone may have inquired, but none did. Dogs have ruled the streets of the United States for the better part of the past decade. You may find them in the workplace, restaurants, museums, public transportation (including buses), shopping malls (including supermarkets), and barbershops (and even post offices). In parks and other locations where dogs belong, they have been allowed full reign. Frequently, dogs are permitted to roam freely, unrestrained by leashes, through fields, courts, and even inside grills. Whether the dogs aren't bad enough, their owners don't seem to care if other people at the gym, workplace, restaurant, or museum don't like their pets. It's hard to fathom what type of monster would be bothered by a cute little waddle puppy. Dogs run the world. We are basically here to stay. In addition, it is a dreadful situation. Dogs are bad!
This is a controversial topic, and I know that not everyone shares my viewpoint. If you're like most people, you'll like the fact that dogs are everywhere. For dog lovers who can't own one, the globe is suddenly a dog park, with canines all over the place to pat and cuddle.
A dog just isn't my thing. Could you tell? Because I have no time for mutts, crossword puzzles, or Maroon 5, I don't aggressively detest mutts either. Think about what it would be like if Maroon 5 was constantly on and not everyone acted like this permanent new circumstance bothered them, distract them, or make them feel filthy or unsafe at all.
It Was A Horrible Example.
Here is the rub: It’s has been ingrained in our collective consciousness that everyone must adore dogs. While many people love their dogs, there are those who just don't care for them, and carrying them around may not be an enjoyable experience for them.

Yes, there are parents who behave in this manner, horrible parents who let their bad children roam freely. Everyone else dislikes these folks because they give all parents a terrible reputation. Dog owners who don't overindulge their pets, on the other hand, are much more common than those who do. I know many parents who are terrified by the prospect of their children causing others' pain. Your coworkers, for example, seldom bring their kids to the office because of this. Why do 2 year old's never approach you at the park to kiss your leg or inquire if you need to go potty? Because of this, Hence, you'll often observe parents trying to discipline their children while they're behaving erratically at a shop or restaurant.
On the other hand, dog owners aren't the ones They seem to be unconcerned with the conduct of their animals. There are so many dogs roaming around the park, jumping up on the seat next to you when you're reading a book, and the owner never asks if it's okay with you. This is why the dog at the table next to you may cuddle up beneath your chair while you're in a café. This is why there is a dog in your workplace and you're pretending that he's adorable.
My fellow doggy doubters, your wait is over. Let's reclaim the tranquilly we've been denied. Tell your coworker that the workplace is not a dog park the next time he brings his pet in for the day. Now would be a good moment to bring the dog back home.
