How to leave the house

Excellent post, I enjoyed it quite a lot. I often tell people that if they want to meet new people, get a dog. If you want to meet girls, get a puppy. When I was in college I would see other guys my age (early 20s at the time) walking a new puppy around campus and they became magnets for girls.

Plus, humans were MEANT to have dogs, and dogs were meant to have humans. We grew up together; dogs are one of our first forays into genetic engineering. We created an animal which was perfectly acclimated to human companionship

Man that feels entitled.

We made dogs for us because we needed them for protection.

And you advocate getting a dog now due some stupid reason and then keeping it potentially in a flat?

Don't get a dog. Don't get animals which don't get the env they need.

Don't get breeds which became breed into sickness.
