wow, i didn't know so many people hated dogs. I can understand being afraid of them, but hating them is just unexpected. I mean, I guess you can hate whatever you want, but you're only limiting your potential to ENJOY those parts of the world...and dogs are everywhere.
I guess if you want to like dogs, try to put yourself in their shoes. A lot of the "bad" stuff they do is because they just don't understand the rules that humans have arbitrarily made up (don't pee in the house, don't bark at strangers, etc.). In the dog world, this all makes perfect sense to them.
Dogs can't help their slobberiness or their smell. They can't give themselves baths. Cats have evolved that way because they're hunters, and if they stink their prey will be able to smell them coming. Dogs are scavengers, so it doesn't matter one bit to them.
My dog is a little punk who gets really excited when he greets people and jumps up on them, but other than that he doesn't really smell, he's very affectionate, and he's playfully retarded. He only barks when he thinks there's an intruder, and he loves doing tricks. You might like him
Maybe if you didn't view dogs as "things" you'd like them more. Try seeing them as living beings just like you, and in fact, no worse than you.
