Beware of dog...

Right guys, today I'm gonna write about dogs and how dangerous ALL OF THEM are!

I will not argue that there are some dangerous dogs in this world. Just as there are dangerous horses or cats or snakes or humans. But the point is, that a really great deal of our world's dogs are loving, well-behaved creatures which want nothing but your respect. I know many dogs and already own my second one. Those two dogs were the best friends I ever had. A dog never lets you down, he loves you no matter what and wants nothing but being taken care of and loved in return. 

I do know some misbehaved dogs as well, but what I can tell from my experience is that no dog is evil by nature. If a dog doesn't behave well or is aggressive or anything it is almost certainly because he was mitreated. 

Even the so-called risk-breeds are not naturally evil. You can have a Dobermann who is the most good-hearted animal to ever have set paw on this earth. As long as you treat the dog with respect and love and train him you will certainly have no problems at all with him, no matter what breed he is. Of course, there are breeds which are harder to handle than others, but if you want a dog you should really overthink the commitment you're about to take up. You owe it to your dog as well as to the world, that you only adopt one if you're able to handle him. 

What's a big problem nowadays is, that there are many people who bring their dogs up to be aggressive against everyone but themselves. These thoughtless people neither do their dogs a favor nor anyone else. Plus, they fan the flames of fear and hatred against dogs which seem to spread more and more nowadays. So many parents teach their children to be afraid of dogs, even though nothing ever happened to themselves, just because they read about this and that horrible story. As long as you meet the dog with respect it will not harm you. Even ignoring them is far better than showing your fear, because they can feel it. 

Humans should just learn to be more careful, dog owners as much as everyone else, in order to avoid dogs who get out of control. In the end, we are the ones who bred them to be the way they are, so if anyone we should be held responsible. But I am sure if owners as well as all the others take good care of their dogs we can reduce dog attacks to a minimum.
