Is it normal that i could care less if this dog was murdered?

Those dogs can live to be 18 or even longer. If your friends going to keep it, she should try obedience training.

I am just waiting for rose's comment😁

Those dogs are notorious for being high strung little bastards. My friend has one and thing barks non-fucking stop.

Update! I talked to her seriously about it while at lunch and was finally able to coax her into going into obedience school with it. She’s relecutant (and embarrassed) but I told her I would go and support her...and ugh, her rat dog.
I don’t think it will do much, but it’s a step in the right direction.

You have your reasons for not liking him, so it's normal.

You don't have to hit it at all. If you have to resort to violence, you are a poor dog trainer.

Hitting is punishment. Punishment is not discipline. It is a FORM of discipline. An unnecessary one.

Perhaps she feels some guilt over the fact that it is her fault the dog wasn't better trained?

its funny , you can murder a dog but not your unborn baby. merica

Yep! Normal! Sounds like the little spoiled shitzu that lives down my street. These little dogs become shits because their owners think it will “hurt them” to discipline them because they’re so small, which is bullshit. I had a jack Russell terrier that I scolded when he did something wrong, and he actually turned out a really good dog. People think scolding or gently smacking a dog when it behaves aggressively is cruel, but really not disciplining your dog is more cruel. They become entitled brats that will probably end up getting mauled to death one day because because they tried to start a fight with a big dog.

I'm a bit biased because I love chihuahuas, but I can still relate. I know someone with a lab that's out of control and would always steal food from the kitchen. He would bark really loud in my face if he wanted something, and if I couldn't figure out what he wanted, then it would be nonstop barking. Very aggravating! He looks cute but I honestly wouldn't care what happened to him. It's not really his fault either, he's just a dog. He's just not for me.

For comparison, my own dog is small, very quiet and simply walks up to me with doe eyes when he wants something. He's very hesitant about people food so we've never had any problems with kitchen messes or theft. He couldn't steal most things if he tried anyway.

Both of these dogs are friendly to people. It just so happens that unfortunately the bigger dog became the bigger brat.

All I will say is.
I have no love for football dogs either.
I don't wish them dead.
But, I also don't care if they die.
Pretty much worthless.
As long as their someone else's pet.
It's not my problem.

Very strange to hate a dog that bit you in the face. Wait no extremely normal.

I've always hated Chihuahuas but loved dogs. I always believed that dogs are prodcuts of their environments, for the most part, and that it's the owners who male tjem shitty. So I decided to adopt a Chihuahua and test this theory. I HATE yappy little mutts...ugh...my Chihuahua was, and still is, the toughest dog I've ever trained, but he wasn't impossible. He is THE best behaved Chihuahua I've ever known, because i treat him like he is a big dog (not physically, obv.). I do NOT allow myself to be lazy and give into the, "bah, he's so small he's not actually hurting anything" mentality that I often want to give in to, haha, because I would be doing the breed, all breeds, and dog lovers, a disservice, because I know I HATE badly behaved dogs. I love dogs so i want others to like them too, so i obviously want my dogs to be well behaved AND happy, so people who don't know if they like dogs will see a positive representation of the species, not a negative one. But people are fucking lazy and pieces of shit and entitled and ipso facto....SMALL DOG SYNDROME has skyrocketed amongst the tiny breeds. Back to your point though. It is normal to want this dog to die. You know it's not the dog's fault, but.you also know your friend isn't going to stop being a POS owner, so you know the dog's behavior will never change. Why would you wish it a long life lol? I used to dog sit a Jack Russell who was a fucking TERROR. Her owner let the dog rule the house and would call her psycho aggressiveness, "just her being nervous." The dog ended up biting my arm so badly while trying to attack my dog for a treat, that I needed stitches and will forever have the scar. I watched the dog one more time after the incident and had such horrible wishes for it, I had to tell the owner i couldn't sit for her anymore...her dog was shitty, and she WANTED it to be that way and fostered an environment for it that exacerbated its bad behavior. The dog had even had a stroke previously, which at first I was SUPER sympathetic to. After getting to know the dog and how shitty it and its owner was...I kept wishing it would stroke out again and die. Is that normal? Yeah, having the thought is normal, acting on those thoughts would make it not normal. We usually don't have control over our initial thoughts about something new. Thoughts are there to be deduced and weighed. It's totally normal to have bad thoughts because without yin there would be no yang. Wihtout bad there would be no good. To act on those thoughts you have deemed bad, would not be "normal". We have control over our actions because of our consciousness, which our thoughts are very much a part of. Our actions are controllable because we can understand our thoughts. Anyway...you're not weird or evil for wishing death upon the little shit...and i am in LOVE with my Chi! but a shitty dog...is a shitty dog...youre not normal if you pretend to be okay with a shit ass dog.

I love all animals. Can never imagine hating one. The dog sounds like it needs some kind of doggie sedative. Should be taken to the vet.

I never said beat the shit. A light smack is exactly what I was talking about.

That’s understandable, I mean, in pack order, Dogs use biting abd nipping to show dominance.
Their behavior is different from ours, I mean, even though I hate my friends dog- I dont think I’d abuse it. I would however throw it’s sorry ass in a cage. I would push it off the couch, and I would make sure it had some manners.
She just doesn’t seem to know /how/ to do that.
