[muawiyah]

The citation above didn't say you couldn't keep dogs for work, just that you shouldn't keep them inside the house, and that you should not eat them.

We have many Freepers who think it's best to keep the hounds outside on the backporch locked up in cages until they are required for hunting, and only a few regularly eat dogs.

If you really want to show your dislike of Arab Moslem attitudes toward dogs, I say you should bring your pack into the bedroom and have one for dinner!

[demosthenes the elder]

A large dog in the house would demonstrate its loyalties to the probable discomfiture of grandees and abusive husbands. The Muslim attitude towards dogs is so far as I know as absolute as their aversion to pigs - no eating them, no touching them, to call a man one is fighting words, etc...
That is idiotic. But it should be used. Captured islamikazis should be executed by being torn apart by dogs and then fed to swine.
How's THAT for a clear statement of dislike?

Generally, my dog sleeps at my feet and my cat sleeps on them. I am glad the opposite arrangement is not true, since my cat weighs a mere 10 lbs, whereas my german shepherd weighs about 100 lbs.
I would not eat a dog unless I was starving. I would not eat a dog that was my friend even if I was starving, unless it was already dead.
