I HATE DOGS

OK - here's the deal. I can't f**king stand dogs. I hate everything about them. They are the most slavering, pathetic, vile & petty creatures on the face of the planet. I don't get why everybody and their uncle wants to own one. People always tell me I should just stop and think again...think of how unconditionally loving they can be, etc., but no matter how hard I try to like dogs, I just hate them again. They always come up to you and stick their snotty noses up against your clothes and skin, and then if they feel 'comfy' with you they cover you in drool with their big slimy tongues. Their fur smells disgusting, and its oily too. If a friend or acquaintance owns a dog, then of course I'm always obliged to pet it, and then my hand smells like s**t until I go wash the oil/musk scent off. They go around peeing on everything they see, and I don't get it...everybody thinks it's so cute; like, 'awww, look at Woofie peeing on that guy's leg! Hahaha!" I say get a 12-gauge shotgun and blow the f**king thing's head off! Yes: 'thing.' A dog is a 'thing' to me, not a 'him' or a 'her.' It's just a dog...it's a thing. I could go on and on. You've got the shivering little inbred ones that bark at everything that moves, at some high pitch and that damages your eardrums, and then you've got the ones that 'defend' their owners' 'territory' as you walk by minding your own business. Suddenly out of nowhere comes this AAAF!!! sound at 1000 decibels two feet from your ear, and then it just keeps barking; this little monster hopping around behind the fence, wanting to come out and attack you, as if it's saying "f**k you! f**k you! f**k you!" Honestly, why does everybody think this animal is so special? It lays s**t everywhere, so every time I walk across grass or a lawn of any kind, I'm just worried about stepping in dog crap the whole time. Does anyone else despise dogs? I try to like them but I can't!!
Do you think it's normal?

Sit ubu sit... good dog
why dont u try liking them ?
i love dogs
Dogs are better than cats I think
I didn't ask people who liked dogs to share their f**king opinions... :P. Why don't you go make sure your dog isn't keeping the whole neighborhood awake or something...
You are one of the MOST NORMAL people I have seen! Its the rest of them that are crazy and/or stupid giving themselves to those fury parasites. Dogs are nothing more than a parasite because they can not survive on their own anymore, without humans to feed them and care for them they would die off. They are the stupidest worst pet anyone could have....this is only due to the fact that humans need something to fill the void they have left themselves because they can not longer trust of love each other, so they lavish their love and affections on a stupid animal instead. Dogs are nothing more than the benefactors of human faults.
dogs love life.
@: P00LTOY
I love life too; what the f**k is that supposed to mean; "dogs love life"?

Tapeworms love life...Cockroaches love life...C'mon...if that's how you feel then why don't you go get a pet cockroach? At least roaches don't bark and bark and bark idiotically all night long...keeping everyone awake...
Well said, DiscoDuck; they are very much like parasites, and they are the "benefactors" of human shortcomings, what with our cliques and needlessly complex social circles...humans have tribes, gangs and packs just like wolves and dogs do!
Wow, some of these comments are refreshing. I hate dogs too. I don't want to blow their heads off with my 12 gauge, but I do hate dogs. Whats hard is I have tried to like dogs, I just don't care for them for exactly the reasons you mentioned, the hand stink yes totally. I am sick of people telling me I should like dogs. I can't most of them are obnoxious; they eat my food given the opportunity, they bark at night, they shed on me. The well behaved ones I am somewhat impartial to, but I still don't like to pet them or play with them.
i am with you because i fken hate dogs their stupid. like you all say they cant survive without humans and they bark, sh! everywear and stink like dead garbage.

i think cats are much better because cats atleast burry their own sh! and cats furr never stink because cats are clean and much independant than stupid ugly dogs i hate dogs so much i wish i was a cat so i could scratch their stupid big ugly faces stupid dogs they just wanna eat, sh! , sleep, and bark.

wen i see someone with a dog im in my mind their so stupid to have a dog they looks retarded witch a big ugly thing in a chain.

hey dog haters go to my profile i have a similar dog haters topic thanx.
Look at the METAPHORS people use for "dog". A dog refers to:

1. An unattractive girl
2. A man with no morals or standards
3. An under performing stock
4. Mountain people use the word "dawg"
5. The "dog days" of summer.

Not flattering.

But if a man is called a "cat", you get the idea he has some style or flair. There's the cool cat, a sly cat.

Get the idea?
I love dogs.And when you own one,you will find them as precious creatures that will give you love and fun.
I hate dogs too. I fantasize about a world without dogs. I never cared one way or the other about them but then in my twenties I worked in the bush and so many people had dogs- they would take up space in the work vehicle,(sometimes even in the helicoptor) stink, burp, vomit, bark, hump, eat dead birds, and steal our lunches and dinners, annoy bears - so that the bears would chase them into our camp... But even then I didn`t full on hate them. I still sometimes have a fondness for the odd dog I get to know, but generally, now that I live in the city i see dogs as representing yuppy bourgeoise `wholesome-family`consumer crap culture and now I really hate them. They offend all of my senses - except taste ofcourse- I`d never eat one- too filthy!
@: yuri832
I hear you yuri - I suppose you're an Aussie...? Yeah dogs...I hear the Chinese consider them to be quite delectable treats...but seriously, I would much prefer to love em. I try to learn the different breeds (Golden Retriever, Labrador, Terrier, etc.) but they really are quite overrated IMO, and I don't understand how they have become so integral to human civilization (i.e., 'man's best friend'). I mean, sometimes I think half the people who own dogs are just doing it to copy all the other people they see who have them! All that aside, I continue to strive to love the little slavering menaces, because all fuming aside, we must come to terms with one inexorable truth: dogs are here to stay.
I don't care for dogs. I also don't care for raging psychopaths or budding serial killers, and it seems as if you may be straddling a line.
@: yuri832
omg i feel ya, i have fantasy of a world with no dogs.
I totally agree! I F*cking hate them to! My roomate has 3! and everytime I come downstairs I have to dodge sh*t and piss. They chew everything, They are the most untrained bastards I have ever met! They will even piss and dropped a load on the floor and look at you while they do this! and even do it after she brings them in from outside! I do not believe in animal abuse, But when they stick their nose in my ass I want to smack the sh*t out of them!
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.
OMG Im babysitting my friends dog and i hate it. The house smells like shit, the f*ing thing sneezes everywhere and it f*ing snores at night. I cant stand it. UGH NEVER again.
oh my God, your writing made me laugh.
I also don't like dogs, but I am lucky to live where I live(no much dogs). because in Islam, we believe that angels wont come inside a house that contains a dog, and if a dog`s drool touches you, you have to wash that place 7 times (one of them with soil) before you can do your prayers. so, usually people where I live only use dogs where they are needed.
@: crazy05
Did'nt she tell you she tries but the shit is nasty!.
I totally agree...i dont understand either...for i pet i prefer rabbits and fishes. i love dolphins!!!
If dogs dont understand human rules....what is the point of getting one?
Dogs can't help being dogs, but I can't help from hating them. I don't believe in abusing or being mean to any living thing, but I just don't like dogs. They are nasty, they stink, they slobber, they shed, they destroy, they contaminate their surroundings, sometimes they are mean and dangerous, they bark at stupid things. Most of the time they are lazy, and don't earn their keep. A dog on a farm is ok, but otherwise, they are pretty much a nuisance. Most of all though, I dislike and disrespect their owners. How can people sit around with a slobbering dog in their face all the time? How can they stand to eat with a dog staring them in the face? Why do they travel with their dogs and go through drive through restaurants with a dog in their lap? I just don't understand people having to have a dog, but the worst thing is that one dog isn't enough, they have to have at least 2, then 3, and then more. I have a relative who has 7 dachsunds in a small house. I went to the door the other day, and was almost knocked down from the scent coming out of that house. I wouldn't eat anything that comes out of the house of someone with a dog. I have lost friends over their dogs. They bring them in the house, not one, but two, then they allow them on the furniture and anywhere else they want to go. If I wanted a dog, I would get one, so why can't people see this and leave their dogs at home? There is so much more that I hate about dogs and their owners, so maybe I'll just write a book about it someday. Someone needs to.
I totally hate dogs too, i can't get how people allow dogs to lick their mouth and stuff when they are always licking their balls and sniffing other dog's butts. I don't however want to shoot or mutilate them, i just stay away from them.
@: annada
I'm not keen on dogs to, esp those annoying little yappy dogs
I understand why people like dogs. They are easy. Unlike a person who you have to be genuinely "nice" for them to like you, a dog will like you for simply chucking a table scrap at them. What I really don't like are the dog people. The people that spend cash on a birthday cake for an animal that will eat its own shit. What really ticks me off is the hatred that these people seem to reserve for people that don't like dogs. For some reason they seem to think that people are bad and dogs are intrinsically good all dogs go to heaven syndrome. Dog society (a wolfpack) is violent, sexist and disgusting. Dogs will kill/rape other dogs to maintain dominance within a pack. The unconditional love dog owners get a boner talking about should really be called fear/devotion. Your dog fears you because you are the alpha dog therefore your dog has to be devoted to you otherwise it will be cast out of the pack. This is your dog not capable of human emotions, only dog emotions which does not include love.
You know I read through your little dog hatred rant and it's difficult to articulate how I feel about individuals such as yourself. When I read the second line,

"They are the most slavering, pathetic, vile & petty creatures on the face of the planet"

I thought to myself that it almost sounded like you were describing the human species. There's nothing wrong with dogs. They're just a different species of animal than us with different instincts and intelligence. I know I'm stating the obvious, but I guess to you it's not so obvious. They do what they do because that's the way nature programed them. They never asked to be domesticated by humans. If they hadn't been, they wouldn't have assholes talking about how much they hate them now would they? They would be wild dogs peacefully minding their own business out in the wilderness. What makes a human any better to be around than a dog? I will ask a series of questions: How many dogs have started wars that have killed millions and left the survivors starving, disease ridden, and homeless? How many dogs have built nuclear weapons? How many dogs have gotten drunk and wiped out an entire family while driving? How many dogs have stolen peoples identities and cleaned out their life savings that they worked their whole life for? I grant you that there have been a few bad apples in the dog population, but compared to humans....
You think dogs...are the most vile creatures on earth? I'm sorry pal but humans have always held that title and will for a long time to come. Dogs......What the fuck kind of drugs have you been taking. Excuse me while I go pet my chocolate lab.
@: tommy81
My, my! It seems I have been outdone by your scathing insights into the nature of dogness, and more importantly, humanness...perhaps you, most esteemed sir, should open a diatribe/blog entitled "I Hate Human Beings" and really get your feet wet with this little line of thought. Of course dogs have never started wars or anything like that (although a pack of wild dogs would probably rip a man apart and devour him)...but they have also never calculated the nature of gravity by observing the retrograde movements of the planets, or broken down the atom into its basic components, or invented chemistry, or produced vaccinations for deadly diseases. They have never written music like Beethoven or Liszt...they have never written literature like James Joyce or Leo Tolstoy. What exactly is your point? That you hate the entire human race? I was also exaggerating for the sake of humor; I would never kill a dog. You, on the other hand, are talking like a potential serial killer. Fuck what kind of drugs I've been taking...I think you need to go get yourself examined first!
I didn't say that I hated human beings. I was only pointing out some of their most disgusting behaviors. I also didn't say that you were capable of killing a dog. Yeah, maybe a pack of wild dogs would devour a man if he was wandering out in the woods and came across a ravenous pack, but as with wolf attack incidents it would be extremely rare. All of the achievements and brilliant innovations of mankind are meaningless if the predominant goal is to destroy one another. I know that dogs are not perfect life forms. They will fight with each other and yes sometimes kill each other, but if we are going to sit here and say that we are better than we should demonstrate something more than just being able to compose an opera or build a space shuttle. For some reason a lot of people don't think that love, kindness, and compassion are necessary characteristics of an advanced civilization. Just being smarter does not cut it alone. If we are talking scale, humans do far more harm to their fellow humans than animals do to their own kind. It's one thing to not want to live with a certain animal, but in my opinion it's little strange to me to detest it just for being what it is. I still don't know why you thought I was %u201Ctalking like a potential serial killer%u201D since I was basically condemning violence. It's not the humans themselves I hate it's the actions of many of them that I loathe.
Sooo wonderful to chat with fellow dog haters-love the comments below:

"They always come up to you and stick their snotty noses up against your clothes and skin, and then if they feel 'comfy' with you they cover you in drool with their big slimy tongues. Their fur smells disgusting, and its oily too. If a friend or acquaintance owns a dog, then of course I'm always obliged to pet it, and then my hand smells like s**t until I go wash the oil/musk scent off".

"They are the stupidest worst pet anyone could have....this is only due to the fact that humans need something to fill the void they have left themselves because they can not longer trust or love each other, so they lavish their love and affections on a stupid animal instead."

It's so true. The other thing is that I don't get how people think their dogs are so special and then there they are eating meat-I can tell you from living on a farm that pigs are a hell of a lot smarter than dogs-and we EAT them.

And how dog owners think that their dog "loves" them. Stupid dumshits-dogs don't love-the people look in the dogs eyes and imagine human characteristics. Here's what goes on in a dogs brain: "pet me, pet me, maybe I get some food, maybe I get to go outside, pet me, pet me, etc." I could ax murder you in front of your dog and in 3 hours and some food that dog will be my best friend-dogs are not people!-they are scavengers in the wild-they are like ground vultures-disgusting animals.

And-people spend billions of dollars on the little shits-send that money to some starving child for gods sake. Leeches "love" you too-so do ticks-there's some good pets.
More power to you - I so very much fucking HATE dogs. I would gladly conduct some sort of dog 'holocaust,' with death camps spread around the US, with an explicit law stating that everyone's dogs be gassed to death with furnaces burning 24 hours a day 7 days a week for dozens of years, just to exterminate ALL dogs and get rid of them forever as a species, wiping them off the face of the earth. I would make sure that all traces of dog DNA would be destroyed; every biological remnant of any dog anywhere, be physically destroyed, so that even in the future no one could EVER revive dogs or clone them from existing dog DNA, because there wouldn't be any. All images of dogs and references to dogs in literature, journalism, art and science would also have to be systematically destroyed, so that future generations would never be able to deduce that such a thing as a canine ever walked the earth; even their scientists could never produce evidence of dogs having existed, because I would have eradicated all things from the planet that make even the remotest suggestion of canines having ever existed. Then I would feel all warm and fuzzy...& I would take a bubble bath :D
i fucking hate dogs. they are disgusting. and annoying.
i hate that they follow you everywere you go, and it pisses me off most when they beg for food. its pathetic.
i have always been judged by my dislike for dogs... but seriously i CANNOT understand why people tolorate them.
you are terrible . everything that you have said is cruel and you are a vile letdown to mankind
i totally disagree with you ,my dog is brilliant and i feel sorry for you that you have not had the chance to meet a dog like mine !!!!!
I don't dislike dogs for the "fun" of it. They truly are a nuisance. I said in my intro that I try to like dogs. Perhaps someday I will actually like dogs and own one myself.

But I really do think that most dog owners enjoy their furry pets at the expense of the peace of mind of non-dog-owners who live next to them. They are often oblivious to the fact that their pets are so loud and annoying until someone has to approach them and tell them about it. Even still, the pet usually continues to be the owner's top priority and efforts are almost never made to accommodate the people around them, who are forced to continue to deal with the same noise/intrusion/feces, etc.
I absolutely HATE dogs, too! We have so many dogs in our neighborhood and NONE of them have a leash. Oh sure, there are leash laws, but NO ONE enforces them. It should be a law that if you own a dog, you HAVE to have a fenced-in back yard.
I have allergic asthma and cannot have dogs or their dander even close to me. Or it could kill me. So in order to do yard work, I have to have my 80-year-old Dad with his oxygen tank on sitting in the cold watching for dogs while I work. It is ridiculous.
The neighbors have been talked nicely to, but it didn't do one bit to change matters.
The dogs act like they own my yard. One dog likes to maul squirrels to death. They all poop in my yard every day. I scoop up the poop and throw it in my neighbors' yards.
I am so sick of people acting as if dogs are like children. They are not. I wish they would quit giving dogs human characteristics. They are not human. Humans should be more important than animals. We could pay off our national debt if we took all the money that people spend on their stupid pets every year.
They don't allow smoking in public places, but dogs are allowed everywhere!!! Dogs are welcomed on planes, in hotels, and even some restaurants. What is wrong with people?

God spelled backwards is Dog. And I can see why. I HATE DOGS SO MUCH. I should be allowed to shoot any dog that comes into MY YARD. I don't go for walks anymore because there are too many loose dogs running around. If people care so much about their dogs, put a leash on them!

I had to quit my job at a University because the students and the DEANS were bringing their dogs into the building with them. The dogs got to stay, so I had to go. I wish there would be an epidemic of some fatal illness that killed just dogs. I would love it if the dog population was wiped out entirely.

I can only dream.
It's me again. For all you dog lovers out there. Dogs can KILL me. If I am around your dog or its dander, I could lose my life. Isn't a human being's life more important than a dog's?
A dog already has more rights than a human. Because dogs can ride an airplane, that means I cannot travel by air. Because dogs are allowed in hotels, then I cannot stay in a hotel.
If you have a dog, by all that's holy, KEEP IT AT HOME.
AND KEEP IT FENCED IN. And don't go to the grocery with your dog in the car. I am trying to buy my food and would like to eat it without ending up in the hospital.
My life depends on your behavior. Be responsible.
I'm so glad to see this post. I moved in with a girlfriend and she has a small, yappy dog that isn't properly house trained. I told myself I would tolerate it somehow, but I can't even stand the sight of it sometimes. It's extremely annoying when it begs and just makes me furious when it pisses and sh*ts inside the house AFTER JUST BEING WALKED! The dog is 4 years old and knows better, it's just an asshole. I personally own two ferrets and my roommate has to stand that they smell, so I have to keep my mouth shut but boy would I like for that little shitty dog to just go away.

What's strange is that I like dogs for the most part, but living with dogs recently (i lived with another friend who had a dog) I'm finding that they are cute, etc. at a distance, once you live with one it's a bit different. I owned a dog as a kid and my parents made me get rid of it and now I understand why. They are filthy and irritating.

My ferrets are caged and supervised when they come out and well, don't make noises, they may pee and poo but since I'm right behind them I clean it up immediately. The dog will HIDE it's poo and pee for me to find later.

So frustrating.
What is your issue? Like why are you so emotional about this? Psycho
@: hotshtt
Dogs annoy the living hell out of me. Annoyance is an emotion. Is that really your picture? You're a real catch if it is...
I don't quite understand why some people feel so strongly about dogs that they need to convince you that you must love them as well. Or better yet... tell you that you have no compassion for animals and are not normal. I, simply put, HATE DOGS! It's my PERSONAL preference. If I told you that I hated cabbage would you stuff it down my throat? There is no difference in this comparison. I just don't understand what there is to like about these animals. They shed and get their hair everywhere... in your food, your clothes, your furniture, your whole f-ing house. They follow you like flies on crap just waiting for a morsel of food to drop from your lips. They lick themselves until you get a whiff of the worst stank of your life... the release of their anal sac.... f-ing gross. My roommate's dog eats its own crap and then licks your foot. I can go on and on... but I think I'll stop it here.
@: Weezer
I feel for you Weez, and that is why I created this post...it is a genuine mystery to me what motivates so many people to worship dogs. It makes no sense; I personally abhor dogs, but by openly admitting this I am subjected to all sorts of scrutiny by dog-lovers. It seems very complicated and mysterious, and I'm not even sure if I care to ever know why these pests are so avidly embraced by mankind en masse...
OMFG - lofl I had to quote this one from another dog-hater's site: "Don't get me wrong here, folks.... I don't hate animals. I like animals in general. I have quite a few pets. But dogs...dogs are vile, creepy and filthy.
Just yesterday we come home and ...gee what a surprise ! The fucking dog had torn through the trash AGAIN! It was all over the floor, all over the rug, everywhere! And GF's like "aww... you think you're so smart, you cutiee schmooty puppywuppy..." in an affectionate tone. Yeah. It's cute to see garbage all over the house. He's not a puppy and he's not cute. Fuck him. I threw the animal out. Next time we leave the house I should take the kitchen trash can and just dump it out all over the floor -- it's gonna be like that when we get home anyway. I want to set a rat-trap in the can so when that dog goes into it... WHAM!! The trap slams him in the mouth. That'll fix his ass but good."
Okay, I NEVER liked dogs, but every year I hate them more, and more and more! The reason I hate them is because of the way dog owners act like they're human, and try to force them on you. The filthy things lick their butts, roll around in s*it, and the owners think it's so cute which indicates to me that the owners are no better--or cleaner--than their filthy dogs! My hate for dogs has gotten to the point that when one runs out in front of my car, I don't swerve or even slow down to miss it anymore!

My local newspaper has gotten to where every few days, it's another dog story and today, there was a photo on the front of the online version of someone giving a f*cking dog a massage! That just made my blood boil and I've decided that I'm going to do like my neighbor. Every time he reads something about a f*ucking dog in the newspaper, he goes out and runs down as many as he can. I drive through a neighborhood full of f*cking dogs and I can't wait!

So, newspapers & magazines: keep publishing stories about friggin' dogs and puppies and putting photos of the filthy butt-sniffing curs on the front page, because every time you do, there are going to be a few less dogs in the world!
Seriously man; don't kill another living being. Live and let live; they may be disgusting, but don't actually kill them. I say in my post that I try to like dogs. It's unwise to always see the bad in things, and even the worst things have something good in them. Dogs can hear pitches up to 60 kHz; a human can only hear 18 kHz. Their noses are so sensitive that they can virtually 'see' with their smell. The reason they're so obnoxious is because they were bred by farmers to be that way...most breeds of dogs originate from sheepherders and livestock farmers in Europe through the centuries. I think dogs can be obnoxious little fucks to strangers, but then they'll act extremely loving to the 'pack' (people) they're 'protecting.' Seriously; I think most of the things about dogs that piss me off the most have more to do with the way people nowadays worship them as mini 'humans.' The dogs themselves are just being animals. Our culture is fucked up...if you have a commercial for a Toyota on TV, that commercial is better if it has a dog in it. Same if you're selling couches...put a dog in the commercial. It's baffling, but those dog owners are working their little asses off, too. It's hard work to care for a dog. It has to eat, shit and piss, and it has to be taken for a walk. I think a lot of people buy dogs as an excuse to get off their asses and move around. But please my friend...DON'T kill any dogs. And if you do, don't say I told you to because I didn't.
