Humans love dogs more than their fellow man.
Two major studies showed that mankind has more empathy for pooches in dire circumstances than suffering people, according to a report in the Times of London.
A UK medical research charity staged two phony donation campaigns one with a dog and the other featuring a man. Of course, the pooch drew more contributions.
Would you give pounds 5 to save Harrison from a slow, painful death? the separate ads said, featuring a canine and human Harrison.
Then a Northeastern University study showed that only a baby human could compete with mans best friend.
Students were showed fake newspaper clippings about a baseball-bat attack on a puppy, an adult dog, a year-old infant and 30-year-old adult. They were asked questions to gauge their empathy and the adult finished last in sympathy.
Respondents were significantly less distressed when adult humans were victimized, in comparison with human babies, puppies and adult dogs, according to Northeastern researchers. Only relative to the infant victim did the adult dog receive lower scores of empathy.
Bumper sticker:
{THE MORE I GET TO KNOW SOME PEOPLE THE MORE I LOVE MY DOG]
Saw a bumper sticker a few months ago:
“WHO SAVED WHO”..(Background of paw prints)
Lock your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car for a couple of hours and see which one is happy to see you when you let them out........
We are all fond of our pets
I do not value animal life over human
I would sacrifice my beloved dog for an unknown human simply as a moral obligation which I think has a foundation in our lord
Doesn’t mean I’d like it by a long shot
My dog has only one dog friend and dislikes every dog she meets but she demands anyone within reach pet her.
A following epi had Scully bringing the dog to an investigation, and while walking it one night, it goes into a bush where a crypto-creature did the chowing this time, leaving Scully pulling the leash out of the bushes, minus the pooch.
Points for story continuity.
My dear wife quickly tires of my kiss affections these days
However our two Rottweiler boys ..uncut of course..why buy a male Rottie
Anyhow
She lets them , lick her face with abandon
I’m like honey have you observed where their noses and licking was previously
Dogs explore one another’s genitalia with abandon.and relish cleaning their own junk......not to mention poop sniffing and rotten animals they devour out on the pasture
Yet she relishes their affections
And they do love her
She’s Daeneryus Targaryen and they are her dragons
We get along with cats and dogs so well because they don’t talk back.
definitely much more than democrats...for sure, in fact if a dog and a known democrat were crossing the road and I had to hit one.....no problem
If I was to be stranded on a tropical island for ten years and I could pick a friend or family member to be with me, I would choose my dog.
Stop feeding them and see how long that lasts.
Indeed. I turned off Game Of Thrones for the entire first season after they killed the dog in episode one.
Well, the thing *I* learned from dogs is to
walk in a circle three times before lying down.
I would love to know how that, “abuse” story ended.
I don’t begrudge anyone who wants to spend their money however they wish. However, I don’t understand some folks priorities.
That’s a good one.
Change your shorts, you’ll feel better.
LOL
I tell folks that if there is reincarnation I want to return as my wife's dog.
Yep.. as would I.
