| I think my dog may be Jesus | |

I think my dog may be Jesus. He owns nothing, covets nothing (though if the neighbour had an ox, he might prove fallible) and he loves people indiscriminately. Whether it's saint or sinner that calls, the dog judges not. Black, white, gay, straight, evangelist, sane person, bomber, bombee, he loves them all with equal zest. The same cannot be said of most of the organisations that have purported over the centuries to follow Christ. Moreover, my dog never loses hope. Though he has yet to succeed in getting his tongue down the throat of a visitor he continues to believe it can be done. So he greets the godly arrivals with the sort of leaping infectious joy that I imagine they rarely encounter and that they even more rarely exhibit. Source Link |

That is the beauty of pets. They have no pockets and love you with no conditions. |

But that was about cats not liking dogs Campy, not about dogs not liking people. My sister had a small cat who controlled a very large retriever/shepherd cross like that. It was very funny to see him try to slink by her, r decide not to enter the room the cat was in. |

Fuzzy O believe me I know lots of dogs who don't like people. In fact I have a vivid memory of one biting me on the hand. Portraying all dogs as being really friendly is just fairy tales. Some dogs are afraid of cats others chase them. |

Well I can only speak for the 4 dogs here. The two very large ones (120 and 110 lbs.) moved out over a year and a half ago, but are here for a week. We picked them up tonight, and believe me, they love everyone they meet. I had almost forgotten what it is like to have 4 dogs, but they all get along, and I have always said we could learn a lot from dogs. Take care, Pat |

Sure but all dogs have their own personalities. I just don't trust them around kids. They are liable to snap or bite them without any visible reason. I don't know what we can learn for dogs other than they are like humans in their disposition. |

I think dog and cat behavior very much reflects that of their caretakers. It is rare that a pet who is loved and treated well behaves badly towards people, unless they are protecting their caretakers from a perceived threat. |

I have read all about dogs that were placid and suddenly turned violent and have actually caused death. |
