Dogs.

They're the kind of people people should be.

I do my best, but people always get upset when I greet them by sniffing their butt. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I get it, I'm bleeding. Why you gotta call me out every time?

Not just dogs. A lot apes and primates can be the same. I remember Robert Sapolsky, a primatolgist and a neuroscientist say that if you live with gorillas in their natural habitat for a few years, you might become calm as a zen buddhist monk. Personally, I find elephants to be amazing.

On the other hand I once watched a group of juvenile chimpanzees in a zoo enclosure hanging out near a pair of double doors sunk into the hillside like an old-fashioned wine cellar, which I assume was the keeper's entrance. One of them, running laps around the door up and down the hill in a style I can only describe as zoomies was yelling like mad until when coming around, down the slope, he reached into the lap of another fellow who was sitting one leg over the side wall on the concrete. At the same moment he pivoted, lept over the wall and swung the way a child might around the end of a hand-rail, from a fistful of cock and balls. In the process, he sent the poor bastard he had ahold of head over ass into the void only to faceplant howling in the dirt while the onlookers guffawed as though it was a scene straight out of Jackass.

These two look like someone's sweet old grandparents doting on a kid.

Awww! With my dog it's the opposite. He's always crawling on top of us to lay down.

He's a 9 month, 57 lb lab. Sometimes it's cute. Sometimes not as much lol.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

lemme guess. when he steps on the balls.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Bingo! Both me and my kid have fallen victim!

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I think it's their way of checking if we still love them.

[-] Hellstormy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

Well, he just wants to be your heavy blanket

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The gf has always had issues with letting myself be the dogs and kids jungle gym. She doesn't see the irony in letting the cat on her lap, how gross hair balls weekly are, why the bed is gross when you let the cat on it... So much.

But oh the moment something approaches twenty pounds is off limits? Nah, fuck that. Just...

STOP! You just not hop on pop!

[-] eatthecake@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

In their world the little girl is the cat.

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

WAIT THATS ACTUALLY SO TRUE WHAT??

All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.

Rules (Will be refined later on).

  1. Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.

  2. No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
    Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here.

  3. All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.

  4. Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.

  5. Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.
