Top Annoying Phrases After Getting a Dog - Avoid These!
1. Prioritizing Dogs Over Parents?
It seems to have become a common occurrence, from an unknown time, that whenever someone is seen showing affection to a dog, there's always someone nearby to sarcastically remark, "You treat your dog better than your parents, huh?"
Let's be rational for a moment. Those who choose to care for dogs often do so with love and compassion. Can it really be that they hold their parents in less regard than their pets? This kind of thinking is a classic example of moral manipulation.
From another perspective, showing love to a dog is an individual's right. Respecting others' preferences is a sign of good breeding. Therefore, those who constantly make such remarks are often the ones who lack proper manners.
2. Is That Dog Going to Bite?
Those who frequently walk their dogs are all too familiar with this question: "That dog is going to bite, right? Why don't you just stay away?"
While the speaker may not mean any harm, the words can sting. Imagine walking down the street and someone suddenly asking you, "Do you know a move called 'Falling Palm Strike'?"
These days, who would dare to take a dog that might bite out in public? It's not like money grows on trees!
3. Spending Money on a Dog? Why Not Donate to the Poor Instead?
When someone says this, it's a clear sign: if you encounter such a person, keep your distance.
How one chooses to spend their earnings is a personal matter. No one has the right to judge how someone spends their money, especially when it comes to pet care. Those who make such comments often have low emotional intelligence and a prejudice against dogs. Trying to reason with them is futile; anyone who would make such nonsensical arguments is not someone who values logic.
4. The Dog Eats Better Than I Do!
It's perfectly fine if a friend jokes about this, but if a stranger says it, the tone changes dramatically.
Let's remind ourselves of the logic from point 3: how you choose to spend your money is your decision, and no one has the right to interfere. So, what business does it have of mine if you feed your dog imported dog food and a designer vest?
Why are we comparing your lifestyle with your pet's? Have some selfrespect!
5. Don't Touch It, It's Gross!
Is a dog really dirty? In all honesty, even the dirtiest of domesticated dogs is just covered in dust and dander.
When walking with your dog, you might encounter parents who think otherwise, warning their children, "Don't touch it; it's dirty!"
But here's a suggestion: why not outfit your child in a hazmat suit and carry消毒 products when you go out? After all, a dog is one of the cleanest objects your child comes into contact with on a daily basis.
6. It's Just a Dog, Right?
When your dog is hurt and you're rushing it to the vet, and someone says, "It's just a dog, right?"
When your dog goes missing and you're frantically searching, and someone asks, "It's just a dog, right?"
When your dog's constipation is caused by a hair, and you're gently removing it, and someone remarks, "It's just a dog, right?"
For them, it's just a dog. But for us, our dogs are family, irreplaceable family. Only those who have had a dog can understand the bond between a pet and its owner, and vice versa.
