I've been watching a dog adoption show and like every time there is a straight cis family looking for a dog the husband will inevitably pipe up and loudly declare that he wants a large, male dog. They don't want a small dog, because small dogs are "yappy, and more of an accessory than a 'real' dog"
Fuck these guys, all dogs are good. Even ones that look like this :scared: :egg-dog:
But also please adopt your pets from a rescue. All dogs derserve love and just because someone gave their tiny dog a sweater doesn't mean they think they're an item. Some dogs love dressing up. :comrade-doggo:
Yeah as someone that grew up with cats I never understood peoples perception of them. Thankfully the internet has kind of helped people realise they're lovable goobers :party-cat:
My family was solidly a dog family growing up. I got a cat at university and now the whole family has cats (and the occasional dog).
Actually, we had no pets until I was about 15, and neither did any of my friends at school. Very petless existence, except for this one alcoholic old lady down the road who let us play with her silky terrier.
