On April 17, I went to walk with my partner. I had the flu, so I suggested that we were going to walk to clear their nostrils and stretch, which turned out to be a refreshing morning walk. But while I returned, I noticed a gym, so I decided that we should enter and see what they had to offer. While we were at the entrance, someone approached us and asked if we were eager to know more. We said yes, so he asked us to take a seat, and he would call one of the owners to come to talk about their classes, basically what they do. While he came to talk to us, his dog followed him. I had already seen the dog sitting in a mat when we stopped for the first time at the entrance, and that was when I decided that this was not the gym for me.
But here is the thing: the man who talked to us at the door saw that he kept looking at the dog, so he asked me if I was afraid of dogs, and I said yes. My partner also said that dogs do not like in their space. Then he replied, saying that they have a girl who comes to the gym who does not like dogs, so they take the dog inside when he trains.
I felt exhausted when I heard that because one thing I have noticed with some people who keep pets, especially dogs, is that they always expect everyone to like their pet in the way they love their pet. But you know what? That perspective is incorrect, egocentric and even a bit out of contact. What makes you happy will not necessarily make me happy. It is common sense.
How can I comfortably rest my back on a mat in which a dog has just sitting in a gym frequented by numerous individuals of various origins, which is already a risky environment? We all know that gyms are one of the easiest places to obtain skin diseases. In general, I recommend bringing your mat. He did not consider how to accommodate people with allergies to the fur; Instead, it was him and his dog without taking into account the health of others (I, my dog, my dog, other people can go to hell!). For the love of God, it is a gym.
I don't think I should live with animals in the house. In my opinion, they should have their space outside the main house. In my cultural origin, it is customary to refrain from sharing utensils with animals, but even without any cultural belief, I would never eat the same dish as an animal or kiss, lick or feed an animal with the same spoon. I feel very uncomfortable when I see others involved in such behavior; At the same time, we must respect your way of life.
I don't think dogs are friendly; They are wild, and although a certain environment is needed for that madness to come out, they also act because it is their nature to do so. They are supposed to be close to children without supervision. This is my opinion; Yours can be different.
When I am walking around the park and a dog approaches me, they scare me because I have seen dogs that are said to be people of quiet and peaceful attack, especially children, out of nowhere, and also chase people who ended up suffering injuries. The truth is that dogs, especially those of certain races, have never been quiet animals, and it is frustrating that some humans feel the need to bother others with their dogs.
Walking through Glasgow can be very agitated for the people who like a really clean atmosphere and do not like to see the waste of dogs on the street, which is common in Glasgow. I saw a girl in front of our building walking to her dog, and as she was close to the entrance, I started walking slowly so that they could pass before arriving there, but to my surprise, the dog approached the main entrance; He waited for the dog to shit right at the main entrance and then move away. I have seen it a lot and I wonder why they do that. These actions have a deep impact on our environment, however, the same people often say that dogs are better than humans. Dogs are not better than me or any human I know. Dogs do not fix their car, treat it in the hospital or respond to theft; They are not firefighters. You may love your dog but stop devaluing humans with this type of statement. This statement simply indicates a significantly low intellectual coefficient, which is sad.
A clearly drunk man approached the same train with a great bull terrier. So drunk that could barely stop. He put his hand towards me, a disgusting gesture that said: “Fxxk you.” The belt was slipping virtually its reach. I could barely control the dog; The dog was almost free. Every muscle of my body tightened. I was completely alone with them in that confined space, paralyzed by the pure terror that any movement of me causes an attack. The dog himself … he was striving for the belt to me. The owner was still scaring me. These fears not only disappear. They cling to you; Every time I see a dog, it reminds me of that incident. The dogs chased me several times when I was a child, which made me fall and suffer injuries. The owners should have exercised control over their dogs, but instead, they showed indifference. Instead of apologizing and promising to improve, they replied with: “Oh, it's just a puppy; just caress it.” He loves you, but you don't know. It's nice. Oh, just give it a rub. NO!
For my part, dogs have persecuted a lot and traumatize me on different occasions, so I do not recommend keeping them around children who cannot defend themselves disregarded. If you own a dog for some reason, do not expect everyone to like your animal. When your animal approaches people, avoid encouraging them to stroke it by saying: “Oh, he only likes to caress; he is so quiet, just a baby.” We don't care; We do not share your views. Just keep your dog away from people like us. Every time I see a dog too close in the street, it is difficult to keep it together. Please be considered because there are many people like me.
I saw a recent video of a dog attacking a child who walked with his peacefully father, just trying to use the street for which they pay taxes. Do you think the situation is fine? Dad had to fight the dog; Despite his efforts, the dog continued to jump and try to bite the child. Imagine that dad was not there.
I understand that people keep animals, especially dogs, for several reasons, including emotional support, and respect. However, it is important to have others in mind when they are in public spaces. If your dog gives you emotional support, that is great, but remember that the same dog that provides your comfort could have caused trauma to another person. So we learn to respect the spaces of others and, finally, stop that shit that dog's talk is better than humans. I have seen publications about dogs on Instagram where people comment and say those things. Some would even want to be dogs. If you believe it, then dogs are better than you, not us. We are superior beings, and nothing can approach our state as humans, which is a privilege. I appreciate being a human being, and you should too. Thank God for it.
You can have as many dogs as you want; I just don't want me to get too close to me. I feel safer because of my experiences.
Always remember that your calm can be the trauma of another. Before commenting, keep in mind that our experiences shape our opinions. Thanks for reading.
