I've noticed families very often have a dog

If the owner is smiling the dog is smiling, if the owner's being very silly the dog's being very silly.

Dogs behave and feel like their owners, they think they're the same, but they're not the same, hold your dog up and show it in the mirror then it will know it's a dog and not a human, that it looks nothing like you, it's the complete opposite.

The small differences between a human his like-minded dog is that the dog doesn't walk like you, it trots on four feet and it doesn't talk when the owner is talking, nor does it speak English, it goes "ruff!", hence I called my plush toy dog Ruffy.

And furthermore many families or one man owns a dog, usually a medium-sized dog like a blue healer or collie or border collie or labradore, the latter being the most normal, typical, and cutest dog a man will own.
But dogs don't behave like normal, they behave different to every other dog, every dog is an individual, to the point that some of them can be labelled eccentric or "weird". What do you think of this?

    I agree for the most part. Dogs can't recognize their own reflections though.

      If you tell the dog look in the mirror and that it looks nothing like a human, the tone of your voice and your body language a dog will know it's not a human and will stop thinking it is.

        Dog's simply think their reflection is another dog behind glass or something. The same as cats. They either try to play, fight, or nervously stare until they come to know mirrors as glass barriers that never open and so can be ignored.

        Imagine a dog can't stand a toy snake. A dog staring at its reflection won't properly react to you sneaking up behind it with the snake obviously about to throw it on the dog. Many studies have been done to confirm this. In fact, very few animals are capable of recognizing their reflection for what it is, only the very utmost intelligent ones.

        Also dogs never think they look like humans. They know they're dogs and even on rare occasions think humans are funny looking alpha dogs, although they usually know a human for a human.

          I rest my case, the mirror proves you're a human and they're a dog.

    As a black man trying to make it in this world, I've also noticed families often have a dog.

      You'll be lucky if the dog stalks you on every corner of the block, it means good things are going to happen to you, says an old superstition.

    Aw I wish I had a dog. I’ve got three birds. They’re cool too.

      Get out! Cats claws are worse than the blunt claws of a dog.

        Nope, cats rock! My cat is my bestfriend, he's tha man!

        I don't see what claws have to do with any of this.

          A cat scratching me hurts a lot, and hurts more than a dog scratching me, try wetting a cat by force, when it scratches you it's going to frigging hurt.

            Wetting a cat by force? Do you mean throwing water on it?

            If you're going to throw water on a cat, I think it's fair enough that it would scratch you.

              Yeah, that's exactly what I mean, and willing to scratch me for picking it up, I lock the cat in a position as it struggles and put it down so it doesn't scratch me.

            So...

            The companionship, and affection my cat gives are worth more than gold to me.

            Cats only scratch if you provoke them or it happens to be an agressive cat. I've never been around a cat that scratched a lot and why would you wet a cat by force ?!

              I wash my cat, and trim his claws; it's no big deal.

              I wouldn't say that I get the cat wet by force, but I give him baths in the tub. I usually put on a bathing suit, and get in the tub with him, because it's easier, and less stressful for my cat that way.

              I wouldn't, cats don't like getting wet.
