This is just sad, embarrassing, and I'm sorry funny.

People in other countries baffle me... I do not mean to offend anyone. It just seems that animals are nothing more than money and status not family.

Most other countries see dogs as livestock, they don't have garbage like PETA and the rest of the groups that thing dogs should do nothing like we have hear. But then most countries also use the dogs for what they are designed to do .. Just a tidbit

I don't get to see what DD put for some reason it's a completely empty POSTING :(

You most definatly have a point. Here in North America we use them for nothing more than a family member (most of us). This is why all these Breeds are turning out farther and farther from their original purpose.

Agreed .. It's is a shame but this is also why folks like are finding dogs the new what they can do.
I find it fascinating to see dogs work
SnR, Hog Hunting, military / police Protection, drug detection, bomb dogs etc...
Even sports like agility, protection, tracking, obedience

We under estimate the evaluation in dogs as we train them they get smarter

The site itself is kind of glitchy....sorry. It might take a minute for it to show up. I thought embedding it would help with the loading.

Can't see anything here either. Regardless, I agree with Geisthexe, we tend to think of dogs here in the US as people and not animals.

I prefer to think of Ruger more "human like". I fully understand that he isn't human BUT at the same time, he doesn't have a "dogs life" either. He is a family member and unlike dogs in other countries (And even here in ours) He doesn't act the same as a "DOG" because he would be lost if ever he had to sleep in a yard at night or or was left alone for long periods of time. I think it is all in how you look at and like to do it. I don't want a "Dog" or an ornament for my yard. I wanted a friend, a family member. I know I spoil him rotten but he is incredibly good to me, too. He has a job and I have mine and therre is a mutaul respect so all is well. I have found that if treated more "human like" they definitely learn (Mimick) a lot of human stuff and it cracks me up!! Ruger opens doors, keep the grnadkids away from the gate opening on the fence, brings his lifejacket to me when he wants to swim, prefers gravy on his potatoes, checks the doors to be sure they are locked before bed, drinks from a water bottle and can't sleep without his peanut butter sandwich before bed. Just to name a few. LOL

Also, in Rugers case, he is very much a guard and takes care of "his" (so to speak) so he isn't far from what his breed was supposed be way back when.

Lack of education, i been to India, a person had their dog tied up to a wall for i'm guessing his whole life, the dog was a black lab, who would bark at strangers, that was his purpose, to keep the house from getting robbed. The only people that would touch him were the owner's son's, they would take off 100 ticks all the time, these ticks were massive and full of blood, the dog had no vet care whatsoever, the idiot owner told me that the dog was dangerous, and too stay away... It was quite sad, how many countries think of them as symbols or guards. A stray will follow someone for food, only too get chased off by villagers. Another sad incident was when a child was when a child was attacked by Strays, idiots started collecting them, and throwing puppies by tails, taking the pups and grinding them under those wooden tires, that hold up those stage coaches, and of course the bigger ones were beaten with other things.
The worst is the neglect, and the removal of the dog's, from sites where they aren't allowed, and even in a couple countries, such as Korea dog's are raised as food, and boiled alive, which is thought to be "some kind of medicine and raises sexual desires", and giving a better sex life, a doctor there used to tell people it would fight cancer, so people started eating. Now many are collected off their properties, still with collars on and thrown into cages, and too only await their deadly death, whether it's electrocution, beating to death, boiling, or another.
I can't be racist because i am East Indian and have witnessed first thing what happens, about the lab, i was a child and couldn't do anything, now i think back, and realize it was a lab, a black lab that would move back as someone approached, a lab that was tied to a wall 24/7.

My husband said the dogs in Iraq were nothing like our dogs. They also would not back down. Sadly I know that some of them ended up being shot.
