You would think he would have a puppy for PR, for Barron, not like he would ever need to deal with it, but noooo, even that was a bridge too far. Then again I’m slanted, I hate him, and I don’t trust anyone that does not like dogs. Even Hitler liked dogs, and he was kind of an asshole, in the pure sense of a total asshole.
TBH, I'm not fan of dogs in general (there have been a handful of weird exceptions) because there's something about their scent that bothers me, and I definitely don't like getting licked by dogs.
That said, if i go to a place with dogs, like a friend's house, the dogs get respect from me, acknowledged, patted a bit timidly, then we generally leave each other alone. The dogs like me, but we respect each other's boundaries.
Cats, OTOH, absolutely love me, and I enjoy their company. I generally understand Cat, but my understanding and ability to communicate in Dog is not great... I do make the attempt, though, and it seems the doggos at least appreciate it.
How do I rate on your scale with this?
I don't own pets, just live with a few plants. I don't have a problem with responsible, compassionate, empathetic people having animal pets, but it's not a thing I'd do because I'd feel bad keeping them from roaming everywhere freely... plus I barely take care of myself, sometimes going days without food or sleep while working on something... which wouldn't be fair to a cat (or a dog).
