Finished said:However, there are some very well trained dogs that are awesome. They behave almost like people. I have run into a few on the hiking trails. One of the owners was old and really slow. His dog decided to hang out with me on the trail and then met back up with his owner on the way back. It was like I was with another person. BTW, that dog never barked. It just sort of growl talked to me. I could totally deal with that.
I think people should train their dogs and invest in that decision more often. Here in Australia, most people have dogs, they are treating them like children. Many dogs are spoiled but usually friendly. Well, I can't really understand when someone put clothes on pets, feed them from the dining table, put them next to themselves in bed. For me, a great dog is a guard dog, like trained German Shepard, the smart one, the dog that is not eating everything it sees outside, not barking all night and knows what to do to protect. And you know, I want to strangle the owners when they don't pick up the honeysuckle after their dogs.
