When I was young, I was also scared of the vacuum. So my childhood dog and I would both be up on the couch, watching the enemy vigilantly.

I attempted suicide in October of 2013 and woke up in my bathroom vomiting blood. My Siamese was by my side when I came to. Cats know things

I had a dog named Charlie, he attacked me as a toddler. Pierced my lip for me.

My grandpa's dog attacked me once. By that I mean it grabbed and dragged me by my collar out of the way of my Grandpa's car. He never saw me

My hamster Jello furnished me with anecdotes about his psychotic hatred of basically everything, including me. He once bit a fucking dog.

That's adorable, I could see a faithful companion doing this.

It's a rare occasion that humans even show a shred of that level of loyalty for another person.

I did see it the first time it was posted. But I may have a policy of always upvoting Charlie. He's truly heroic.

I've seen this before, and every time I always think to my self, "This is really well written."

What did we do? Bred them over thousands of years to have a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with us. But yes they are wonderful.

When I was 8 a black widow bit me. Doctors said I could of died that day. I thank that little spider for sending me to the hospital that day

My dad got my mom a puppy when I was born to be my dog and he was so protective over me he would always sit beside me and bite at my 1/2
ohmygodimonfirewhyarentyouhelping
My grandparents as well as aunts and uncles especially when I was in my carrier thing. I wish he could meet my other best dog friend now :(
ohmygodimonfirewhyarentyouhelping
I feel bad because sometimes I'd shoo him away and I hope to god he knows that I regret every second I didn't spend with him and love him

I remember my grandma gave Nova (my lab) a tupper with food, grandma has severe joint problems so she threw the thing in the ground 1/?
randomfrag
And her thought was to later tell my dad to pick it up, but Nova for some reason knew she couldnt lift it and picked it up the floor 2/?
randomfrag
And gave it to her after the quick meal. She was in tears... Nova is the best I love her so much

Thanks, first time I have seen it!

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear." We don't deserve them
Solivoid
I'm not sure what you did to not deserve pets, buddy.

God I cannot stand that question. WE MADE THEM TO BE OUR PERFECT COMPANION
JaryMane238
...and now sometimes our IMPERFECT companion, by breeding them with horrendous health problems. In that sense we do not deserve dogs, 1/2
JaryMane238
2/2: but I have to agree, the whole "What did we ever do to deserve them?" mindset is incredibly irritating and an A-over-T thought process.

Screw you for making me come up with a reason I was crying on the toilet. Now all my coworkers think I can't handle hot sauce. +1
TheFirstFurst
You don't need to be heartless, just learn to use your heart less.
misfit119
Is that like work smarter not harder for sociopaths?
TheFirstFurst
Sociopaths lack empathy, so it is not. Someone that can use their heart is not a sociopath, they may only be sociopathic at most.
TheFirstFurst
Also, my opinion is that working smarter is at least sometimes just working harder.
ThisIsThePlaceWhereIBelong
Prove them wrong. Take a pack of hotsauce, open it and sniff it completely up in one go. Maintain eye contact. Watch them tremble in fear.
mvp84
Why were your coworkers with you in the toilet?
xmaneds
dude, just show them this micro-story about charlie the dog bravely protecting the baby. SHOW THEM
themuttonisniceandlean
My 2 year old son was terrified of dogs, shaking w/ fear, but when a dog came at his little baby sister, he stood in between the dog & her.
fastjeff
Is your son a vacuum cleaner?
themuttonisniceandlean
He's 18 now and you should see him eat. So...yes, he sort of is.
myrealnameisginger
Whoa. That's some early onset bravery! My 2yo would happily feed me to the wolves for a handful of gummy bears.
themuttonisniceandlean
He screamed, "the dog is going to get the baby!" In a panicky voice. Was a big GSD and I honestly was scared of him, too. Not a nice dog.
danielsan1977
"What did we ever do to deserve dogs?" Lots and lots of domestication.
HandsomeJackBlack
I love my dog but I'm tired of the dog worship. They're awesome, yes. Angels, no.
BewareTheCrocigator
Thankyou
ISayFuckAllTheTime
Ah, but it's accepted that we only did that after they started helping on our hunts of their own free will. So they started out awesome.

My dog protected my brother and I from a pack of coyotes when I was a child. I didn't realize how dangerous the situation was at 8 yrs old.

Wow!

Coyotes attack ppl? We don't have them back so please excuse my ignorance
Flyndaran
Very rarely, but small kids, I believe. As a kid, I was nearly attacked by a growling opossum, an animal that supposedly never does that.
AlmightyDylon
Kinda. Usually Rong place Rong time. If it happens put ur hands in the air and yell real loud. Even a pack will back down. Usually
Flyndaran
My dog protected me, not I. But that must've scary AF for a kid.

Thanks.

Oops. *me and my brother*

That's bravery. We lost a few good cow dogs to coyote's.

"Cow dogs"? Pictures, please.

I bet you were trying to picture it in your head..... how cow dogs are 'made'. Admit it.

Sorry, they're all non-digital in an album at the parents house. Google Blue Heeler Border Collie mix if you need a hit.

Charlie... HE'S DEAD! OKAY!? It was a long time ago
tzap
I hope not, reinforcing fearful behaviour would be a huge disservice to the dog.
Dilbartbert
Sadly no. Eventually charlie made his last stand, held off vacuum while baby made his escape. As he was sucked up he said "bark you fool!"

More upvotes pls

Sadly most don't think of the mental abuse animals are put through everyday. Like blowing smile in a pets face "to get them high" or trying
P0kEy
To intimidate the animal or yell at it when it has done nothing wrong. People shouldn't do anything to a pet that they wouldn't do to a kid!
WhyEvenName
What if they're a pedophile?
P0kEy
Corrected NORMAL people shouldnt do anything 2 a pet that they wouldnt do 2 a kid. Also in the original post I hope ppl kno I ment smoke lol
