I found out that many times i pat a dog, and its owner comments that it usually doesnt let anyone pat it. feral cats seem to favor me over other people as well. 

i just wonder what others experience is.

  • Dogs are different to people, that's a fact, and so we have different rules and regulations for dogs than we do for people. For a start, they belong to a completely different species, do not share our complex cognitive processing or developmental trajectory. Therefore, humans and dogs can never be treated the same.

    I can see both sides of the fence because I grew up with a dog and formed a strong bond with her. I know how owning a dog can be really positive, and I would not want this to be taken away from people, but I do think the law should be stricter on potentially dangerous dogs. I think that owning a dog is a privilege and not a right, and that many people should never have a dog in their hands.

    The dog licensing system should certainly be brought back into force.
