Sounds like Chow chow to me

Well, when I watch COPs, the dogs sure don't look like they love the bad guys... Dogs can be trained to protect and that means they will not just love anyone.

My vote is for dogs... they protect, they rescue, they provide direction to the blind, hunt down bad guys, etc.... Their purposes are many and defined by their owners.

Sometimes I do too: dogs are so easily pleased. And being able to hear ultrasonic frequencies is a nice bonus.

I'm allergic to cats, so it's dogs for me. My dog looks exactly like my avatar, so I'm probably never changing it.

BTW, a dog can be selective in how much love it gives.....it's just not as cold as a cat

I agree. I was always a bit undecided about cats growing up, but after having one I realized the way a cat loves you is pretty darn special. Makes your life a million times better when they cuddle up in your lap or by your side at night to sleep with you when you feel down and all. Cats are an awesome anti-depressant, at least for me

I like cats and dogs both very much. But for some reasion, I tend to dislike people who call themselves cat- or dog-people. Sorry!

I can do that with one of my cats. In fact I don't think she's ever gotten me with her claws at all, not even by accident.

She's terrified of new people though, and will growl and get ticked off if anyone else in my family tries to play rough with her, although she doesn't hiss and claw with them either.

My family has a dog, a jack russel mix, and an orange cat. The cat goes on travels and comes home every 3-4 weeks and the dog, who's name is Oddie, is our house door bell.

We have three cats and two young German Shepherds. Cats have few few points in their favour...

My dad told me that cats are the most disloyal animals on this planet.

I will second that. Unfortunately my wife has a cat.

Well that settles it. Konig's dad says cats are disloyal. Close the thread. The crops are getting ripe; everyone back to the fields.
