As you probably know, all people are divided into two categories - those who love cats, and those who prefer dogs. We agree that cute cats are what the internet has been based on since the beginning of the world, but doggos are still our one true love. In general, people have always glorified dogs with great pleasure.

For example, like the creators of this popular Twitter page called Cool Dog Facts, who really collect interesting and thought-provoking facts about dogs' lives and their friends, accompanying them with cool pictures.

The motto of the blog, which has garnered almost 150K followers in around ten years of existence, is "Wag More. Bark Less". We do believe this motto perfectly captures the true nature of wonderful doggos.

Bored Panda created a curated list with the best of this page for you - isn't it great? We are sure that even the toughest cat lovers will shed tears of tenderness.

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

I was once told "If your dog doesn't like someone, you shouldn't either."

Here's the secret: The reason your dog doesn't like them is usually that you don't either. Your dog is following your signs. We have reasons to be suspicious, reasons to be wary, reasons to be careful, but we ignore all those signs because we can't explicate them or it'd be 'rude not to give them a chance' or we convince ourselves that we're being cranky or whatever. Our dogs don't have those social niceties on top. They see that a member of their pack (i.e., us) has weird body language towards that person (just a little stiff or a little jumpy), they see we're staying just one half step further away, or that our shoulders are tight, or our arms are crossed, or whatever and they think "Ooh, pack is wary and potentially in danger! I too shall be wary and be ready to protect the pack."

I know where you’re coming from. My son is disabled and dogs scare him because of stupid owners who think everyone should like their dog even when it knocks them over. Now he’s an adult he’s less in danger but he still scared and he hates being barked at. I was bitten on the face by a puppy when I was a child but it was a matter of unruliness rather than viciousness. I like dogs which are properly trained and I like dog owners who take care of their dogs.

I agree. My little dog tried to bite someone and turns out woman stole all kinds of stuff from my apt. Lied that she had a driver's license drove my car ran out of gas the lost only key fob I had to my car. Stole from neighbors who let her in their homes. Nothing valuable but got a thrill from stealing

This is complete b******t. Dogs are just like people. They can be frightened by someone for reasons that you don't understand. I'm a dog person and almost every dog I have ever met is drawn to me. I say almost because it does happen occasionally where a dog is afraid or doesn't like me. That does not make me a bad or untrustworthy person.

I agree I have one dog who is terrified of my husbands grandpa. He is an amazing man and an animal lover. Every other rescue or foster we had has adored him, except this one rescue. It breaks his heart too, poor guy..he just reminds her of someone else I guess.

    That, also. Of all the helpless you'll ever meet, the nonhuman animals also are voiceless and disregarding them ignorantly is not even seen as not normal, but NOT doing so is normal, and weirdos are who care about them more than what doesn't cause any inconvenience. Shame on us. No human ever was as voiceless, unheard, uncared for as animals in industrial abuse are, even in the furthest developed countries. Taking the side of those who can't help themselves, over the side of those making them need someone to help, never is wrong, always is right, and almost always, at least a bit of that is possible without any hassle. But yet, even if it costs nothing, done is, also, nothing.

    Most people really like their dogs more than most people. In the end, who else is able to love their owner like Hachiko, be as selfless as Balto - and people always reciprocate to their devoted friends.

    After all, the friendship of people and dogs is one of the main themes in world culture. Dorothy and Toto, Wallace and Gromit, Cruella de Ville... well, not exactly a good example, let's remember Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo, then.

    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.

    Our last Golden, Mollie had some kind of weird syndrome. She couldn't stand, walk or even hold her head up. She was at the Vet for 2 days and he was at a loss. He finally did an exploratory abdominal and called during it, said he'd never seen anything like it, every organ was bright red. We told him to let her stay asleep. To this day I wish we had gone just to hold her one last time. Have to stop now, hard to see with the tears. She left us 3 years ago.

    Dogs do occupy a special place in our lives - because they, unlike people, are not capable of betrayal. As one wise man used to say, "The more I get to know men, the more I love dogs."

    Cynologists believe that a dog always chooses a person for itself as the leader of its own pack. The wolf past still shows up, even if your dog is neither the size nor the appearance of a wolf.

    While this is a lucky kid, this is also NOT OK. Even the most perfect dog can get tired, overstimulated and react. Dogs, like humans, aren't machines. They can have bad days. Teach your children not to get in their face. Also it's not all about how you raise them. Genetics play a huge role in behavior.

    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...).

    Yup! My house is swept and vacuumed at least every two days, if not everyday because tumbleweeds of fur are a frequent occurrence, I literally just spent 100 dollars at a pet store to feed and make her happy for another week, and I wouldn't be going outside regardless of the weather just to make sure she gets exercise. But I also wouldn't be here without her. She's saved my life and I'll never be able to make her understand just what she's done for me. She never let's me have a bad day anymore, and I never feel lonely.

    Here me out, the rainbow bridge is super depressing. Your pet can't cross to heaven until you die so they just wait for you. They can't spend time with other friends or family members or neighbors or whoever else involved in their life until you can take them across. What if you pass before them? What does that mean for them? Also, two of my past fluffy kiddos were terrified of other animals. I would hate for them to be stuck without people.

    According to the legends of many nations, all dogs definitely go to heaven after their death, and then, when time comes for their owner to pass away, the dog leads a person across the rainbow bridge leading to paradise, easing the burden of his sins.

    For your information; in Aztec mythology when you die there are 9 levels of underworld; the 1st level is the Dogs level, which is full of dogs including the dogs you had throughout your life; you are supposed to move on up to the last level, but let's be honest, we would stay there.

    We had a white Staffordshire bull terrier Dalmatian mix that was white with brown ears. Mum used to kiss him before going out on her gigs. Fizzy would run down the stairs covered in kisses.

    Indeed, a dog does not care whether you are a successful person or not, how much money you earn or what kind of car you've got. It will stay with you in joy and sorrow, and will do its best to make you feel good, because you are its best friend.

    Average commute in the US is almost 30 minutes. That means 1hr commuting each day. 8 hours of work, 1 hour of lunch, 1 hour of commute = the average American shouldn't own a dog in your opinion. An interesting take, to be sure.

    We have a problem here with people dropping their "Covid pets" off at shelters. Some are over capacity. They all rushed out to get a pet when covid started and now that it is easing they don't want them anymore. I'm sure a few have legitimate reasons but the majority are just bastards as far as I'm concerned.

    If you cannot offer sufficient exercise for a young dog, an older dog might fit your life. A competent shelter or rescue organization will help find an appropriate friend. And the rewards of helping an older dog are priceless.

    PLEASE, PLEASE. Do your research. Husky, German Shepherds, any type of Shepherd, etc are WORKING DOGS. And yes, they are cute as hell as puppies but they need approx. 2-3 hours of exercise a day. Don't adopt with her heart, adopt with your brain. I have a shepherd mix. We walk about 2 to 2-1/2 hours during the week because I work (from home) and about 3-4 hours during the weekend because we go hiking. It helps to keep her calm at home and not eat my sofa.

    Current puppy is 13 kg at 12 weeks old. Judging by the paws that is going to be a momentary measurement. He’s a German Shepherd x Golden Retriever. He’s completely gorgeous, a toothy land shark and the owner of the craziest ears ever! I’m posting daily pupdates on his ears. Yesterday they were mostly pointing left, today they’re crossed in the middle. Who knows what tomorrow will bring!

    I sometimes think of that cat in Marlon Brando's lap in the movie Godfather. It always occurs to me that the cat has absolutely no clue that he's in the lap of one of the most accomplished actors in the world and in one of the biggest blockbuster movies of all time. And then it occurs to me that he wouldn't care in the least if he did know. All he wants is his lovin' and his skritches.

    I have read John Grogan’s books, like Marley and me. They are good

    Actually, that's an interesting question: Do dogs differentiate by fur colour or breed? There are studies showing that horses prefer the same coat colour and generally rather stay among horses of the same height. Are dogs the same?

    My rescued Great Pyrenees, who looked much like the dog in this photo, always showed extra interest in little white dogs, enough that the doggy day care staff mentioned it to us. We don't know what her history was, but I always wonder if she'd had puppies.

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

    My Aussie shepherd/blue heeler mix was old, but still loved to play soccer. She was the best dog I think I've ever had. I miss her.

    Good on it. Hopefully they had air on for it.

    LOL not the first Bored Panda post where people´s walls, ceilings or doors are made of paper or cardboard, but the other posts and the comments are true and also true for cats, I loved this whole post and follow @cooldogfacts on Twitter now & recommended my Twitter friends to follow them either.

    Was told to put my dog in the bathroom when I left for school. Came home to a hole in the bathroom door. Water pipe to toilet chewer in half and spewing water everywhere. Three rolls of chewed up toilet paper. Torn to shreds shower curtain and gnawed up cabinet corners. It's was the first and last time I was asked to do that.
