Your character based on your pet: dogs are loved by brave people, cats – by smart ones. Why don't many people like dogs? I hate people who don't like dogs

There are people who don't like dogs. They don’t like them simply because they don’t like animals at all. This is not a matter of taste. There is some kind of spiritual deficiency here. But nevertheless, you won’t be nice by force!

There are people who don't like dogs for specific reasons.

Sometimes the reasons can even be good: for example, once, most likely in childhood, a dog scared a person and unpleasant memories, or wariness, or even fear remained for the rest of his life. These people have excuses. And Professor Bosse's definition does not apply to them.

Human indifference and selfishness, militant philistinism and cruelty are manifested in the attitude towards dogs. After all, there are people who, on a dog - a silent and dependent creature - take out their anger on someone or something, “get even” for their failures in life, satisfy the base feeling of tormenting someone, mocking someone, dominating! Callousness manifests itself in the attitude towards dogs - after playing with the puppy, they throw it out into the street, dooming it to hunger and cold. But this dog has already gotten used to the person, fell in love with him, and can no longer do without him. Callous people do not think that this dog has a heart, that it is alive, it can shrink in melancholy and ache with grief!

The bourgeoisie, in the worst sense of the word, is incapable of understanding how anyone can love four-legged animals, especially those from whom you receive no benefit.

Let's agree right away - we're talking about not about any specific dog, but about dogs. Here - a big difference. You can love your dog (and a tradesman is capable of this). Your toy, your fun, your property. And the rest - to hate. This often happens. And that's not what we're talking about. We are not about love for our dog, we are about love for dogs, our own and strangers, familiar and unfamiliar, close and distant, dogs - representatives of the animal world who are closest to us. We are about love for our closest neighbors on the planet.

The tradesman cannot understand this. Yes, he doesn’t want to understand. Moreover, he does not want to keep his philosophy to himself. That's why he is a militant philistine - he wants to impose his attitude towards the world in general and towards animals in particular to others. Philistines often hide behind in beautiful words, mask their philosophy with demagoguery. But she is still visible.

After all, you even hear this: they say, love for animals, in particular for useless dogs (that is, those from which there is no practical benefit), gives rise to sentimentality, weakness, and we must raise strong, brave, firm people.

And these preachers of cruelty and militant philistines do not understand that only a good person can be truly strong and brave, only a humane person can be. And if he takes up a weapon, then first of all he must firmly know and understand why he takes it, understand that he is doing this in the name of life, in the name of good.

These are exactly the kind of people our soldiers and commanders were who fought the Nazis during Patriotic War, it is under this motto that all honest people of the planet are fighting for peace, and their firmness, determination, and courage are inextricably linked with the highest principles of morality and humanism.

The fascist leaders, whose names are cursed by all the peoples of the Earth, raised killers, letting the youngsters from the Hitler Youth raise puppies.

And when the dog grew up, became attached to its owner, and he became attached to it, the future SS man was given a pistol and he had to publicly shoot his dog. It was an exam, an exam for cruelty. The fascists who passed such an exam calmly tortured and shot, hanged and sent thousands of people to gas chambers.

The tradesman is on the alert, he can immediately seize on such a thought: well, they say, the attitude towards the dog is not an indicator - after all, the future SS men, although they shot at their dogs, loved them. Or again: don’t millionaires and millionaires, half mad with this love, love their pets, feeding them on golden dishes, leaving them colossal inheritances, and so on?

It's like that. But we have already talked about the love for their property, for their toys, which for them are dogs. And we are for a different love for dogs. For the one about which Konrad Lorenz very precisely said: “Only that love for animals is beautiful and instructive, which is generated by the love of all life and which must be based on love for people. Only those who are able to feel this way can give their affection animals without moral harm to themselves."

Time is the main judge of works of art and literature. Weak, unartistic works are irretrievably drowned in it, but it preserves the best works of human talent. Among the best works of world literature preserved by time are many books about dogs.

Experts have determined that a person can read about ten thousand books in his life. And to collect and read everything that has been written about dogs, probably not even a thousand would be enough. human lives. After all, poems, poems, stories, stories, novels have been written about dogs. There is, perhaps, not a single major writer who has not devoted at least a few pages to dogs.

Many treatises have been written about dogs, scientific research, abstracts. There is no such cultured people who would not have their own canine literature, who would not now be seriously engaged in dog breeding. The question of the benefits of dogs, their utilitarian use, can no longer be separated from moral issues. And not only because, by treating dogs poorly, we treat our friends poorly and commit actual betrayal, but also because a dog is the closest representative of the animal world to us, and “love for the animal world is an aesthetic feeling that shapes views , tastes. The loss of these tastes is tantamount to the loss of happiness and, perhaps, has a harmful effect on mental abilities, and even more likely, on moral qualities.” So wrote Charles Darwin.

A cat is the closest friend, the second “I” of the owner, so if someone doesn’t like the cat, then he doesn’t like its owner either. Cats are usually owned by ladies who harmoniously combine the advantages of both sexes. Such women are beautiful and smart, feminine and efficient, efficient and effective, pretty and persistent in achieving their goals.

For unmarried cats, cats often replace a non-existent child, because a cat also needs care, affection and tenderness; it is a playful and capricious animal, like a child. A lonely woman with a cat treats men with distrust and is reluctant to enter into close relationships with them. A man who likes cats recognizes a woman's right to be independent. But a bachelor with a cat is a completely self-sufficient person, and it will take a lot of strength to win his heart. Hating cats can mean hating everything female. In psychology, there is even a term “cat phobia” (scientifically, eilurophobia). Ladies who despise cats feel bad about themselves deep down, and cat-phobic men don’t truly love women.

Dogs

For a woman, her dog is almost always a symbol of a man, even if the dog is female. Looking at the breed, you can always tell which male qualities the owner values most.

A large shepherd means that its owner needs a protector and reliable support. Bulldog means that a woman values her partner’s loyalty, reliability, solidity, constancy and sense of humor. The lady with the Doberman has an iron willpower and is defiant towards men - who can protect me better than my dog? A woman who holds a malicious, yapping, biting and cowardly creature in her arms makes too high demands on men, expecting to find some incredibly wonderful qualities in them. As a result, such women are rarely happy in marriage. Almost everyone who loves dogs is intolerant of the independence of others and seeks to control the lives and actions of loved ones.

It is believed that only evil and cruel people cannot stand dogs, but this is not always the case. Opponents of bobbies and bugs simply may be shy, fearful, may be afraid of these biting and loudly barking predators, or perhaps they simply prefer to seek love and friendship in the human world and do not understand why they might need this little wolf. Many people are disgusted by the need to train another living creature and become its owner, and therefore they flatly refuse to have a dog at home.

Hamsters and guinea pigs

Everyone who loves small furry animals needs protection strong man, tenderness, affection and care, because they themselves feel small and defenseless. That's why children so often ask to buy a hamster; they want to be big, strong, caring friends for tiny animals. If a person cannot stand the stupidity of other people, then he is unlikely to be moved at the sight of a hamster or guinea pig.

Parrots

Exotic bright birds appeal to romantics, melancholic, sensitive, vulnerable people who are bored in silence and loneliness. The parrot reminds of tropical islands, fairy tale pirates and compensates for the lack of travel in ordinary life. Birds are not tolerated by irritable, hot-tempered, workaholics, overloaded with work, sybarites: loudly chirping and piercingly screaming parrots disturb their comfort, confuse their thoughts and confuse their plans.

Rats

Loving rats means declaring to the whole world: I am not a bore! I have original thinking, and your stereotypes have no power over me! A rat fanatic will first study everything, touching and checking, and only then draw his own conclusions. And he doesn't care about other people's opinions. If a child brings home a rat, it means he has a sociable, cheerful, kind-hearted character. Rats are not liked by conservatives, shy, timid, cautious people who follow only beaten paths in life.

The dog is holy. She is spontaneous and honest by nature. She feels when there is no time for her, and can lie motionless for hours while her idol is busy. When the owner is sad, she puts her head on his lap. “Has everyone abandoned you? Just think! Let’s go for a walk and everything will be forgotten!”

“The only completely selfless friend of a person in this selfish world, a friend who will never leave him, who is never ungrateful and will not betray him, is the DOG.
A DOG will remain next to a person in wealth and poverty, in health and illness.
The DOG will sleep on cold ground, where cold winds blow and snow sweeps furiously, just to be close to the owner.
The DOG will kiss his hand, even if that hand cannot give him water; she will lick her wounds and scratches - the result of clashes with the cruelty of the world around her.
A DOG guards the sleep of his poor owner as jealously as if he were a prince.
When all other friends leave, this one remains.
When all the riches disappear and everything falls to pieces, the DOG is as constant in his love as the sun walking across the sky.”

A dog is man's friend. What kind of people love dogs?

April 13, 2016 - One comment

For some people, a dog is the best and most faithful friend who will never betray, under any circumstances. For many residents of a modern metropolis, a dog has become a full-fledged member of the family, and for some, a four-legged pet has completely replaced loved ones.

Initially, this animal accompanied a person on a hunt, later it became a guide for the blind, an orderly in war, a personal bodyguard, but in any case it performed working functions.

IN last years Dogs are increasingly being owned not for protection or hunting, but simply “for the soul.” There is an increasing trend towards small breeds that correspond to the latest fashions and are more practical and easy to keep for the city.

The dog became not just a friend of man, but acquired all the rights equal to him. Hundreds of hotels, hairdressers, and pet taxis specifically for dogs have opened. IN modern megacities there are even a number of specialists in plastic surgery for dogs who can remove a small “natural blunder” and make pet the standard of the breed.

What kind of people love dogs so much? What shapes our tastes and preferences? Let's consider psychological aspect this phenomenon.

Who are they, dog lovers?

System-vector psychology of Yuri Burlan explains the peculiarities of human behavior by their innate properties. Sets of such properties are called vectors. People who love dogs are carriers of two vectors at the same time: visual and anal. Such people combine the properties of both vectors.

Many people, when purchasing a dog, do not think about the responsibility that falls on their shoulders. A dog, like any other pet, needs care and attention. She needs to be fed, walked, trained and given the necessary vaccinations.But many people forget about this after some time, when they bring the puppy into their house or apartment. Having played enough with a living toy, they throw the animal out into the street, dooming it to certain death. A dog accustomed to its owner can no longer do without a person. She has to survive on her own. And over time, she runs wild, she develops distrust of people, she becomes dangerous for them.

Increasingly, cases occur when wild packs of dogs (or an individual) attack an adult or child. And of course, those who do not like dogs begin to shout about their extermination. And those who were indifferent before go over to the opposite side. Naturally, no one will love dogs because they rush at people, spread diseases, and ruin city lawns, playgrounds or parks. But is this really so? After all, we should not forget about why and because of whom this is happening.

City residents often complain that dog walkers walk their pets in places not intended for this purpose. In Russia, as is known, it is not provided special places for walking dogs. And there is no law that regulates the rules of dog walking in our country. However, the dog owner is responsible for serious harm caused by his pet to another person. But dog owners, as a rule, take good care of their animals, take them outside wearing a muzzle or on a leash, and do not allow their pet to harm anyone. As for the cleanliness of the city, even if all owners clean up after their animals, the city will not become cleaner. After all, it is not dogs who litter the streets, but people themselves. But many people find it easier to blame dogs and their owners than to look after themselves and their attitude towards environment. Dogs do not throw bottles, cigarette butts, used syringes and other garbage on playgrounds. Dogs do not break windows and do not leave bags of garbage in hallways. Do dogs defecate in elevators and in the corners of stairwells? A dog accustomed to the street will never do “its business” at home or in the entrance.

Another reason for dislike for the most loyal animals is barking. The dog barks at night, the dog owner’s neighbors don’t get enough sleep, and they are increasingly protesting against having animals in their apartments. But the dog will not bark just like that. There are several reasons why a dog may behave loudly: when it is defending its territory, when it is left alone for a long time, or when it is provoked. It’s worth listening to the dog’s barking and it’s better to check what happened, rather than groundlessly blaming the owner for not being able to calm his animal. After all, a dog often howls for help when something happens to its owner. Or perhaps undesirable individuals entered the entrance with bad intentions, and the dog is trying to attract people’s attention to warn about this. Do not forget that dogs have a unique sense of smell and are able to identify a stranger who has entered the territory it protects.

There is also a reason why many people hate dogs: various diseases. People disdain dogs because they consider them carriers dangerous viruses. Currently, there are only a few dangerous diseases transmitted from dogs to humans: lichen, rabies, leptospirosis and helminthiases. But you can only become infected through direct contact with a sick animal. As a general rule, a responsible owner will always keep their dog vaccinated and vaccinated to prevent these diseases. Therefore, the chance of becoming infected from pet dog very small. You can catch the disease much faster through contact with stray animals, which most often end up on the street due to human fault.
