Dogs drink out of the toilet, lick their anus and testicles, and eat feces.

Sounds like a typical Saturday night with Nick Nolte...

Especially if you own a breed with a beard.... :)

Maybe you didn't understand my post. I was replying to a specific example where dogs being evaluated for adoption are food aggressive, and in some case, are deemed to be unadoptable, and are put down.

Of course not. I never said it was wise - I said it is unwise for ANY dog. But that doesn’t mean every dog will automatically lash out at dumb people.

I’m very aware of feelings about GS, and about their problems, but my personal views on dog types still stand. I have never pretended to be a fan of all dog types, or trusting of all dog types. I call them as I see them.

“that is NOT a move dogs do to each other without recourse.”

Actually they do all the time. If they come in and smell/lick the lips of 1, that is submission to that animal. The dominant (or at least recipient) animal accepts that, unless he really has a problem with that individual.

[the OlLine Rebel]

“You cite the sole sensible reason to leave the seat down.”

Really? Only 1? Have you ever dropped anything in the toilet? It’s bound to happen, whether from your person or the nearby sink/counter.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Actually many people are unaware of horse’s rears. It is not really common sense.

But comparing yard/property guardianship to intimate proximity doesn’t fly. Pretty much everyone is aware it’s dumb to walk into a dog’s property, and indeed dogs guarding what’s theirs is perfectly natural and acceptable. Likewise, everyone - including dog “lovers” - tends to do the kootchie-koo thing even with strange dogs. Just spend some time at PetStupid.

Her move was a quick in your face move that she thought was a sweet gesture, and a dog would not. I meant that it was just the opposite in dog language moves. If I did a poor job at describing the action, I apologize; but I still believe dogs have better protocol amongst themselves than this human did with this dog.

[NordP]

WELL SAID!

[NordP]

Despicable! That is positively an AWFUL THING TO SAY ------BEWARE OF THIS PERSON AROUND SMALL CHILDREN, TOO!

HOW ABSOLUTELY AWFUL AND EVIL OF YOU.

[Altariel]

It would behoove people who have regular (or semi-regular) contact with certain animals to take the time to learn the behavior and body language of that animal before interacting with it.

But common sense is increasingly uncommon.
