A friend will stab you in the back if it benefits them.

Dogs do not understand friendship.

I'll need you to back up that claim with scientifically verified evidence.

And no, my skepticism of your boastful claim does not mean I believe dogs understand friendship.

lol
Im not a sociologist, but a dog as a friend is more of a one sided dependency than a real friendship.
Unless you consider their company to be equatable to the effort you put in maintaining them them then sure, they're your friends.

What kind of fiends do you have...?

Or does that say something about yourself. I'd do just about anything for my best friend.

Its cheesy as fuck, but most dog's know nothing but love.

I'm not sure how you can say dogs don't understand friendship after watching that. It's probably the same people who used to say dolphins weren't intelligent, either.

Didn't read the thread, but just wanted to say that THIS is how to handle sad threads: vague title with clear warning. Thanks.

I once drove 3000 miles (literally) for a friend on a single word. I've never allowed myself to take a single action that's contrary to the well-being of anyone I considered a friend, and that includes giving them an unequal portion of the tater tots. I do not think I'm special.

Genuine friendship may be rarer, friendship that is more than the way the word is used disposably in pop-culture; among dumb 20-somethings who think getting shitfaced with a bunch of "bros" is friendship. Maybe a lot of people have now never learned what it actually is, in a culture that has put "dog eat dog" ahead of all other human concerns. But there's still plenty of honor out there.

My favorite poem about dogs, though I suppose the roles are reversed from this particular story. It's by the great Robinson Jeffers:

Well fuck if I'm not tearing up a little.

Gaborn keep doing what you do. I enjoy threads of all kinds, and yours are no exception. Eff the whiners (ESPECIALLY if they get a freaking warning in the title)

Yeah, but when you read this and then look at the image in the OP, can you really believe it?

Having read that, dogs are like your children then. Love 'em, like their company...but a good child follows orders.

 

[Esiquio]

Damn, that is heart-breaking.

I'm going to go hug my dogs
