So very true. I wish I had a farm I would rescue lots of dogs from the shelters.
azzagooboooooy!
Yay, dogs!!
I love my dog. He’s the bestest.

Thank you for your service, Sgt. McWooferson!
Amen! My german shepard would stand in front of my truck if the kids were in the driveway. Lost the best friend I ever had when he died of old age.
RIP buddy.
not funny just gay
your comment: Not productive, just stupid.
Michael Vick knows that doesn’t he.
Oh yeah – come on… my 7 dogs would do anything and everything for me. You betcha. And in turn spend whatever it takes to keep them healthy. Forget those of you that don’t realize the importance of animals in our lives… take your money and spend it at McDonalds – you suck!
now I want to go hug my dog, but it’s 2am and she’s asleep downstairs :/
…and you must let sleeping dawgs lie.
dude a dog is great companion to have and that coment not gay. my dog risked his life foe me when i almost drowned in a river he went back in the water and a gator got him so the dogz r great.
R.I.P SHADOW.
Loved your comment, Starsky!!! There’s nothing like the fierce protective determination of the German shepherd. Your dog sounded awesome–also, I *know* that same dog who would put himself between a truck and “his” kids would also be the same dog who would roll around on the floor and let them tug his ears. I’m sorry you lost him
Please don’t think these dogs throw themselves onto bombs or run at armed attackers out of any sense of “I will give my life for him”!
They do it because they don’t realise the danger. It’s basically sending a dog to it’s death in place of a human. And that is betrayal on our part, not heroism by the dogs.
Bomb sniffing dog has better sense of smell than Human, therefore he knows how to avoid bombs better.
Really, sending a dog to its death, you know how many human lives they save daily sniffing out those *&#$% inhuman terrorist “presents”?????
Still, we can make sensors to find the bombs, but s cheaper to train a dog to kill himself.
AMEN!!! That’s why I’m going to end up as one of those old ladies with ten million doggies, cuase I don’t want them to be in shelters.
It’s like a cat lady, just with doggies.

—————————————————–
Heroism by people is oftentimes spontaneous when they rescue a stranger. They too, don’t go in thinking “I’m giving my life for this person!” They just act. The spontaneous drive by the German shepherd to protect is instinctive, and what they were bred for. GSDs do think for themselves and are excellent problem solvers. Plus, it is absolutely false that it’s cheaper to train a dog for bomb sniffing. The training is very expensive. And the dogs do a much better job at detection than machines; their work makes it safer for everyone. It should also be said that the dogs love their jobs.
So I don’t think anyone is saying that a dog consciously thinks “I’m giving my life for that person!” any more than a person would in a rescue situation. Proper care must be taken of them doing their duty, I agree, and this is why I fully support bullet proof vests for police K9s. I disagree that we do them a betrayal. It’s what they were bred to do–it’s like saying it’s cruel to run huskies. Preposterous
You know, in addition to being loyal, dogs are more friendly than any person you’ll ever meet. All of the stuff you’ve posted is not necessarily true. Maybe dogs are smarter than you think (if you really even thought this through). Dogs might even be smarter than us. I think that some people think they’re better than dogs because they can’t see the good parts of dogs, but dogs can make you smile faster than they could. So maybe the good parts in dogs are really the good parts in life.
Well, in my case there are good and bad dogs
My dog Bones (Good) got killed by a stray (Bad), Bones was protecting me.
But I agree, my own mother wasn’t there for me as much as Bones was
Dogs are loyal and loving. I think that no matter if they understand the danger of a bomb or not, they love us enough to save our lives, so don’t give me that crap about whether a dog thinks, “I will give my life for him!” That’s complete trash and there’s no denying it.
my friend came over to my house and left the door open when he left accidentally and my dog slept in front of the door all night
yep – my dogs would do anything for me … wake me up when I’m not well, so I can take them for a walk; save me from foot and back injury – by chewing up my new “heels”; jump on the freshly made bed with muddy paws to tell me how much fun the muddy puddle in the back yard is to play in … … wait, remind me again why I love them??? Ohh, right – the unconditional love and unutterable joy they exhibit when I come home after leaving them alone for a lifetime (2 or 3 hours…). Don’t know if they would give their lives for me (they’re spaniels after all) – but they make my life better – that’s almost the same thing.
even if my dog chew my shoes, destroys toilet paper, sleep in my moms bedroom, mess with my pillows, mess with clothes, eats our own food (it was funny because I was in the living room, then I started hearing like if he was drinking something, I went to the kitchen to discover he was eating my soup) or just destroy newspapers and mails…
I know he’ll do anything to protect me and my family, and he has prove it when we’re outside and starts barking to people, I know it sounds obvious, but when no one’s outside he don’t even bother doing it! he only barks to strangers when we’re with him.
i hope all of you understand what I’m trying to say.
