30 Tweets That Show Dogs Are Truly Man’s Best Friends, Shared By This Twitter Account Dedicated To Cool Dog Facts

My dog doesn't care for my 2nd eldest nephew. Sadly, she has a reason. She adores everyone else.

And we became couch potatoes or just needing to see a shrink!

How you treat animals and how you treat staff. Always be nice to janitors, cleaning and cantine workers, cashiers...

There was a time where I adopted dogs that needed hospice care. There are people that cannot afford treatments and leave them at shelters because they think they have a better chance. There are charities that can help with this , don't let your dog pass away without his person.

So gentle. I remember being very small and playing with the dog of my dad's friend. It was a German Shepherd and enormous. We played and played tug of war and this dog was SO gentle with me..

Uh ... this point actually has a lot of aspects in it that need to be adressed in some way ... and, to be clear right away - none of any of it is genuinely the dogs' fault. While raising and training and education are major influences on behaviour, so are genetics. Selective breeding provides an advantage for whatever the breeder is after in the kind of dog that is to be bred ... a race that is bred to engage in (thankfully, illegal in many places) dog fights will not be bred to be nice around children, but to react aggressively, to not wait, to not be patient. You can train out a lot of this, and while any kind of broadly administered euthanasia is wronger than wrong, that doesn't mean every race should be bred forever. Treating those well, care for them, who already exist, I'd never put in any queston, but ... although it often is unpopular, this no less bears a truth that isn't ignorable. And, NO, I do NOT say that race or genetics are everything (usually, that is the strawman someone engages in disproving - please, don't do this here this time...).

Not necessarily true, unfortunately. They are still animals. Unpredictable and they react on instinct. We love our fur babies. They're family. But they'll always be animals and we cannot change that.

As an adult our former neighbor told me about the day she first met me. I was in a playpen outside with my mom. I was reaching for the cat and she was batting at my hand. The neighbor asked my mom if she was worried "she might get hurt." My mother replied "Well, she'll never do that again." The neighbor told adult me that at the time she thought it was an odd reply, they she realised mom was saying I would learn not to hurt the cat. I have no doubt that's what my mother meant. We were raised to respect animals and treat them with love.

YES!!

If your kid is scared of the dog, LISTEN. Don't dismiss them by saying "aww, he's just a baby" or "he's part of the family!" Teach your kid how to respect their boundaries, and especially make sure your dog is PROPERLY TRAINED. Your kid is more important than your emotions in this case.

So true!!

Very true. Though some individual animals have severe mental issues, just as humans do, and can be dangerous. (Again, like some humans can be) don't judge immediately, but use proper caution :)

that just warms my heart!!!

What an adorable smile!

Bet we aren't!

I think that is the most adorable face I have ever seen

Oh how I really hope so..I really hope so.

Um, there's only one dog here.

True true

Unfortunately it's the other way around.

Looks like a Belgian shepherd.

And so does yours. Never understood that until I had my first rescue.

The dogs ARE the significant people.

Also, if you're prepared for and committed to getting a dog, please adopt from a shelter. If you're going to be gone 10 hours a day for work, get a cat.

Good thing mine only weigh a combined 25lbs (11.3kg)!

I knew it was silly, but I felt guilty "replacing" my dog. I got a rescue and it felt like honoring my dog- not replacing her.

i would rather be with another person cos then i wouldn't have to see my dog die.

Don't need studies to know that... I've nested a pup in my hair, doesn't matter what anyone says, I'm still his mum. And he's my furever baby.

Yes shelter dogs are great!

Our little rescue girl smiles. It’s so lovely, her dad comes home and she’s up on the sofa smiling at him. She also grins when she’s asleep. She’s too gorgeous!

The cats expression says it all

German proverb: "Daß mir der Hund das Liebste sei, sagst du, o Mensch, sei Sünde? Der Hund blieb mir im Sturme treu, der Mensch nicht mal im Winde." (translates mostl to "Men say it's a sin I prefer dogs over their kin, but dog stayed at my side in a storm while men left me during the breeze.")

True dat

Step 2: be owned by a nice person. Sadly not all dogs have a nice home. 😔

🥲🥲

Doesn't apply to Australian Cattle Dogs! They need SO much physical and mental stimulation!
