    The whole "dogs are social animals and need to be kept in your house and allowed to sleep in your bed and eat out of your plates" attitude in a lot of dog specific spaces is nuts imo and a uniquely American phenomenon. They are not people, they are dogs.

    💯

    It fucks me up when I meet someone with a border Collie or a husky or any other kind of working dog and the owner treats it like an indoor cat. They'll say shit like "oh he's just a little crazy" when the poor thing inevitably acts out because it gets nowhere near the attention and exercise it literally needs.

    If you're not taking your working dog for 5 mile runs every day then you better have a fuckton of open space they can play on. Otherwise it's just cruel
