    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.

    dogs are much less likely to be fed table scraps & waste in the US, yankees invented the industrial food waste rebranded into 'pet food' and many dog owners i've met refuse to feed them 'people food'. which is sort of fraught because on the one hand a lot of shitty sugary yankee food can make a dog upset like it will make an unaccustomed human upset, but normal food is fine
