How Far would You go for your beloved Pet??

[kissofcrimson]

I'm confused, you can't divide love but love between human and your dog are different?

This is kind of hard to explain. I know Red Devil gets it. lol Though love is all the same the love between the parties varies. I love my cat to death yet I love my parents the same way as I do my bestfriends and family. The extent of that love is the same but the way I feel that love is different and how strongly. Its like loving a bestfriend and loving a spouse. You love them both, would do anything for either but the love you feel is different. Its easier to compare a child to a pet because you feel the same protective type love.. Do you get what I'm saying? lol

Correct me if I'm wrong but that's how I feel anyway, only I would put my animals before a lot of people for good reason. Just because your dog is a different species and doesn't navigate the world the same as a human does, doesn't mean the dog deserves less feeling/rights then a person.

Sorry, I can't fathom putting an animals life above a humans. The only reason they love us is because they were inbred that way. Also most pure breeds were mutts at one point

I do love dogs though.

i would have to disagree imo if my or your dog attacked your child would you get rid of your dog or your child i would shoot the dog in the head no matter how i liked the dog or how long i had it no love compares to a child and ya if you were a millonaire 60000 dollars is nothing but if your a normal middle class citizen you would not spend that for an animal thats a years worth of a house rent would you take the roof from your kids head to pay for a dog surgery or something i sure wouldnt

No, I wouldn't kill the dog. Killing the dog teaches the child its alright to kill/harm others. If that kid were to be punched on a playground, does that make it right for him to kill the aggressor? Of course not, so why is it acceptable to kill the dog, when its most likely not the dogs fault. Not saying it never is but most of the time its not. Killing something that you don't agree with, are scared of, that's dangerous is only a temp fix until it happens again because the initial problem was not solved. IMO any dangerous dog should be euthanized, UNLESS, it has somewhere to go to live out its life (comfortably) and won't be a danger to others.

And back to the topic, I don't have that type of money, so I couldn't drop that type of money for a dog if I wanted to nor would I. Not saying the dogs not worth it (because it obviously is), but I'd take the dog by force. That's just me.

I believe we are all equal therefore I see it more as liking someone more then another versus putting animals over people. If this planet were to be gone tomrorrow, humans would be gone too. Our brains may be more advanced in some ways but we are not. We are still animals and that will never change. The point of all that though was love is all the same, though the parties are different.

Edit: They were bred to help us, not love us but grew to trust us as we did them. Just because you help someone doesn't mean you get attached. I've known plenty of dogs that do not love/trust humans. My neighbors dog for instance does not trust anyone except the person who rescued her and even then she's still skittish. I've lived here for over two years and she still barks and growls at me when I enter my own yard.

Don't get me wrong I truly love my dogs they go to every soccer practice and game with me, they hike, fish and hunt with me, they sleep in my room, they are only outside to do their business, they get great quality food and share my food, and even have their own couch. But they are still dogs.
No one could take any of my dogs from me not even my wife. I ask the dogs do so they'd drag her down the street to follow me .it doesn't matter who else is trying to talk to or distract them. I run the pack I lead they follow, this is how truly loyal happy dogs are made.

I think we're mostly on the same page, you word it nicely. I just wanted to see some logics explaining how its not quite the same.

I love my dogs and all my pets, and though I see the point of some comparisons and I can't agree with the comparison with a child. I spoil my dogs, feed them the best foods, take them to the vet, and spend lots of time with them. However, I would not jump in front of a moving car for them....I would jump in front of anything to protect one of my children. Not saying anybody elses opinions or views is wrong, just putting my idea out there. Thanks.

Not putting the dog down means the next time its in the same situation it will bite again with less provocation and do more damage.
If that kid were to be punched on a playground, does that make it right for him to kill the aggressor?
[B]Dogs are not children[/B] Of course not, so why is it acceptable to kill the dog, when its most likely not the dogs fault.
Dogs never bite on accident every time a dog bites it knows exactly what its doing and fully intends to do harm and know how hard its biting
Not saying it never is but most of the time its not.
the problem is its the owners fault but you can't change the owner backward way of thinking which lead to the bite so what do you do with the dog? It has to be removed or it will just keep biting people each time it will bite harder and with less cause.
Killing something that you don't agree with, are scared of, that's dangerous is only a temp fix until it happens again because the initial problem was not solved. IMO any dangerous dog should be euthanized, UNLESS, it has somewhere to go to live out its life (comfortably) and won't be a danger
Imo any dog that bites anyone should be euthanized the first time regardless of the owners exuses as to why the dog bit. Unless the dog is stopping a real break in, robbery, not mauling the neighbor kids for walking up the sidewalk! or protecting its owner from direct threat.Sent from my LGL55C using MonsterAquariaNetwork App
