I care far more about my dog than I do other people. Ever night I come home my dog is happy to see me. Cannot say the same about people.

I remember a post on FB where a family list everything due to fire. They started a GFM and it flopped. They mention their dog died got 13k
NoLeafClover1994
I don't. I hate dogs. I do love cats more than people though

Why would anyone like people better than dogs. Dogs aren't evil
ojedaSpaceQueen
The more I know people, the more I love my dog.

duh... you think i working this hard for people >:( fk people i want a dog and i want him to have the best life.

This...this isn’t news
PussieWrangler46
I feel more empathy for animals when they are suffering than humans because humans can understand what's going on...animals have no idea
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
this is the only logical argument for that side I agree with on this whole page
ChickenChickenBurningBright
How many paragraphs in did they blame Obama for something?
fandsor
How about just any pet? I absolutely love my cat more than 99.9% of humanity.
tarataqa
We all know this. 1M people die in a movie=fine. 1 dog gets hurt=JIMMIESRUSTLED!
UltraDeepFeels
Fox News, eh? This sounds like a canine conspiracy.
Fjorkvar
well duh
jerner15
Isn't that pretty sad when you really think about it?
darkdragonempress
Surprisingly, not all that much. Because of numerous factors, a dog is more likely to be self sacrificing, they will be extremely 1
darkdragonempress
Empathetic and nonjudgmental, and just basically the embodiment of unconditional love. We literally bred them to be exactly what we needed 2
darkdragonempress
In this world. Humans can't compare because we didn't go through the same measures. 3
GentlemanWendigo
This isn't news....hell leeches and ticks are better people than people.
chickNlittle
Um, duh? I love my dogs, they're awesome. Most humans are shit heads.
dm6776
Most humans. I'm so glad I'm not as shitty a person as you.
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
naw, don't you know saying u love animals is supposed to redeem acting shitty to people nowadays
dm6776
God I hate when this website and reddit say dumb shit like this.
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
I was agreeing with you...
dm6776
I know. I was agreeing with you by saying that lol.
StonesOnTheHill
Of course we care more about dogs. We made dogs to be dependent on us. We make humans just by getting too drunk and then feeling guilty.
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
dad? is that you
AssapoopshitsMassachusettz
I would probably take a bullet for my girlfriend. I would definitely take a bullet for literally any dog
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
that is the dumbest thing I've read all day
getyourp00pinagroup123
i would guess its because its always possible a person is in some way responsible for his own suffering. not so much with dogs
getyourp00pinagroup123
or at least is capable of alleviating his own suffering
icounttopotato
This is an obvious fact to those of us with dogs, i’dvmurder a member of my own human family if they hurt my dog.
dm6776
Lol glad I don't have such shitty family.
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
my mum used to tell me she'd save the dogs over me, it was a shitty thing to hear as a child, fuck you if u ever tell ur family this
icounttopotato
Well, you were probably just a disappointment as a child then bud.
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
nah, they were just abusive people and I'm quite stable about that, but wow man, you prolly are a shitty parent if u talk to ppl like this
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
oh wait no, u love animals so that makes u a good person even when u act like this right?
icounttopotato
Not a parent, cool story bro, thanks for your shitty life story. I’d never claim any moral superiority, don’t care about your feelings.
Rektastic
Well, when was the last time you saw a dog go shoot up a stadium for no reason other than to kill random people?
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
make a dog with a trigger finger then get back to me
dm6776
I have seen dogs attack people at random for no reason other than to attack people. If they knew how to use a gun i am sure they would have.
itsabooper
That's a pretty awful reason to hate humans.
TheActualDonKnotts
Liking dogs more automatically means they hate humans?
itsabooper
They never said they liked dogs though, they just said they don't cause mass shootings.
dm6776
Really? This depressing story is one you can get behind? One where the average human loves animals more than one from the same species?
MissAizea
Have you met another person? They're mean
dm6776
No, most of them really aren't. I tend to like most people I come across.
KTscrewoff
Dogs are transparent in their body language and behavior. What you see is what you get. Easier to befriend a dog than a person
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
most peoples body language is quite truthful as well though
duckasaurus8
Much as I agree with the conclusion, the "study" to me just says people are more sympathetic to victims they perceive as helpless.
myjimmiesberustled
Not surprised, in the least.
waytoofaded
Dogs care more for human attention then the attention of other dogs as well.
myjimmiesberustled
If it's accurate.
GrouchyMarx
Actually, me neither. Because dogs never disagree with you and you basically control them. It's sometimes hard to love other people →
GrouchyMarx
because people don't exactly take rejection, disagreements and differing opinions well. We're basically control freaks with varying levels →
GrouchyMarx
of narcissism. Dogs worship and love us no matter what, and making them happy is a lot easier than making other people happy.
Isuckatbeingagirl
It's true for me and probably most of my friends
myjimmiesberustled
Unfortunately, I cannot own a dog. But I do have more empathy when I read articles involving dogs compared to pretty much anything else.
Rodka209
Because a dog won't break your heart. A dog doesn't decide one day that it doesnt love you.
SomeCrazyNerd
You okay, buddy?
barbwyre59
My dog never lied to me .
L0StWaNdErEr
well yeah, when is the last time you met a dog that was a shitty dog? I meet shitty people all the time...but a shitty dog? super rare.
prfesser
Larger dogs, agreed. But way too many little yappy dogs are just punt-able.
EGOT
My lil dog only yaps when she thinks theres a threat-like when two large maintenance guys come to fix stuff in my apt. She's being good.
jtays
I have a small dog and she’s a sweet heart. I think it’s all about training.
jaychay
Id say kids are far more punt-able. Nothing wrong with small dogs. All dogs are great
L0StWaNdErEr
They're good dogs, Brent .
scree06
Little yappy dogs are like that because of their humans. Don't blame the doggo
CaveCanem
Is tru
CaveCanem
The tru-tru
L0StWaNdErEr
They are irritating but even the little yappy ones are not mean spirited, condescending, self absorbed picks who lack empathy for others

The dog that bit half of my earlobe off was a real treat
Silvercypher
Neighborhood dog attacked and injured a mailman, an old lady with a walker,and several kids before they put it down.Dogs can be assholes too
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
ever met a wild dog? when dogs have to provide for themselves they descend to assholishness just like people, tribulations breed contempt
Ghobe
Man that asshole neighbor dog wouldn't let me scare the kids! Kept barking if I stopped petting...
arrkay
I meet way too many shitty dogs (and, yes, they are actually just dogs of shitty owners, but they're still shitty).
aesthesia1
Srs. Dogs killing people? Out of millions of dogs in usa, avge is 20-30 annual. People killing people? Lol....
PPIIBBSS
And honestly the only time dogs are shitty is if their owners are shitty people, so in the end it's the shitty people's fault anyways
K1ftw12345
The only time there's a shitty dog is if the owner makes them into a shitty dog
tutorp
The only time there's a shitty human is if other humans makes them into shitty humans.

My dog is a real piece of shit. I mean, I still love her way more than most people, but still. Real butthole, that dog.
CandleNAhBrah
I kinda wish you didn't use that comma in the last sentence lol
cwagrant
Every night when I try to sleep and every time I try to more my lawn. I love dogs but my neighbors dogs can go to doggy hell.
L0StWaNdErEr
exceptions to every rule...
DinoRexChris12753
meet my neighbor's dog
smoothoprater
We bred out the shitty dogs for the most part. Some started to try and do the same with humans but everyone got upset and super butthurt.
L0StWaNdErEr
too soon man, too soon.
Reeroy
Tell that to my 5 year old neighbor who got mauled walking to school. Oh wait you cant cause he's dead. Shit dog.
Lionskull
walking down a side walk, old lady walking 2 tiny dogs, one of them starts to aggressively bark at me, some dogs are just terrible.
Redeyedguy4291
Yeah all those dogs that have gotten out and killed people and other animals are totally not shitty dogs...
nuclearwessels
They're less shitty than a person who murders someone.
Redeyedguy4291
Regardless the dog and the human made a decision to attack and kill. Equally shitty in my book. But you have your opinion and I have mine.
nuclearwessels
I mean. Dogs don't have nearly as much control as a human
Redeyedguy4291
Understood. I'm just saying that it still made a decision. My whole point that everyone is over looking is that dogs CAN be shitty also.
Maticus5isalive
My dog eats his and his sisters shit, sometimes straight from the tap. I’ll agree to disagree.
L0StWaNdErEr
that's just a weird fetish, it doesn't make him a bad person , does it?
Maticus5isalive
It does when we try’s to lick your face afterwards.
megustasnsd
I work at a pet hotel, trust me, there are tons of shitty dogs.
leontheprofessional
Well shitty dogs are a result of shitty people, therefore people are shitty.
aesthesia1
Try working at a people hotel youll be agreeing

On a cool day, lock a dog in one car trunk, and your mother in another. Wait 30 minutes, let them out. Which is happy to see you?
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
Right, the dog does not have the intelligence to know your being malicious!
ZachNanamus
Many dogs know malice, and still instantly forgive.
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
Idk if that's a good thing tbh

Study done by same scientists who discovered that objects fall when you stop holding them up in the air.
YesYouJustLostTheGameAgain
TIL...
Duendes
You mean potential & kinetic energy?
EricReaume
Galileo?

So... Isaac Newton.

My helium baloon doesnt, when will the lies stop?
ulnek
That's an actual real experiment.

Not in Australia, though, they sail into the sky.

Newton must have been a dog person.

Newton didn't discover that things fall.

The norwegian scientists had the question "why do youths drink? " Spent 1 million $ (converted currency). Their answer? "Because its fun"...
YouDunMessdUpAAron
I could have both showed them and saved them a hell a lot of money by giving me a case of beer
jpparkenbone
I know you're joking, but remember scientists had to actually do that to establish how gravity works.
arrkay
Okay, but that's not what I said they discovered, is it?
jpparkenbone
And if you recall Isaac newton revolutionized our understanding of physics and gravity when he questioned why an apple fell from a tree.
arrkay
Also still not the point I was making.
jpparkenbone
Then what is your point?
HighlySexualLobster
Science gets you to the moon, common sense gets you a villager tossed into the volcano once a year to keep it happy.
arrkay
I don't think you understand "common sense".
HighlySexualLobster
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animism
arrkay
Except common sense is literally the result of science (intentional or not), which is why we don't still throw people into volcanoes.
jpparkenbone
Thank you for getting my point. My whole point was common sense has no place in science.
TheYoungBear
it could be argued that common sense will lead to hypotheses that can then be tested.
iarecow
Well Yeah, literally any rational can lead to a hypotheses that may be proven - common sense is no better or worse.
gleely
we should do a study on that
