Just once, I'd like to see someone quoted as saying, "Yeah, the dog was pretty mean, but I blew it off."
You won't cuz generally these people are the millions of namby-pamby clueless dolts who "love animals".
They would never, ever, dare think an animal could ever do wrong. Even an innocent puppy wrong.
Thus they never get disciplined. Certainly not seriously. They think training at PetSmart is the epitome of teaching manners.
They will smooth over all the rough spots w/"he's just tired" and "I shouldn't have done this he doesn't like", and my favorites in so many words "he is a free spirit" and "he has personality".
Bleeeccchhh.
