I recently came across this excellent post that has been circulating on social media. It does NOT mean you can’t love your dog. It does not mean you can’t have a pet. And it does not mean your pet shouldn’t be a beloved member of the family. It means we should communicate with dogs in a way they understand, with structure and boundaries. It means consider the breed you are purchasing and brining into your household. It means do not humanize your dog to the point you are creating anxiety by asking them to live in a way they simply can not understand due to the fact that they are animals, and not humans. Anyone that has personally met me and my personal dogs knows exactly how much I love them, and the best life I can give them is to honor them as DOGS
YOUR DOG IS NOT A BABY
Today's culture is absolutely ruining dogs
People are treating their dogs like people, and no matter how much you say it, or what you believe, they're not kids, they're dogs... An apex predator with forty-two teeth on its head and bite pressure that can break bones
They deserve to be treated like dogs !
Somehow treating your dog like a dog has become a taboo subject and it's due to today's mentality
I can't say no to a dog
I can't go with a dog in the cold weather
I can't let a dog get muddy
I can't give a dog a job
If your dog is fit, he is too skinny
We are walking into a world where giving your dog a job is cruel beyond belief, but having a 30kg overweight dog with diabetes who is unable to move is absolutely fine. Something totally warped, twisted and wrong
They are dogs! Treat them like dogs. You can't have any animal and pretend he's a baby. Hello, this is my whale, this is my baby. It does not work like that
We have to push back on this current mentality because it is literally killing the dogs. Dogs are dying every day simply because no one told them what rules they were supposed to follow or because they weren't given a much needed job
Let's start honoring our dogs for the absolutely amazing creatures they are. The dogs are magnificent, majestic, intelligent and robust. For me they are the best animal on the planet so let's stop killing them and treating them for exactly what they are not
Honor your dog ❤️
