"Any man who does not like dogs and want them about does not deserve to be in the White House."
- Calvin Coolidge
I agree.

The film "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" has a scene where the dog bites the Manson murderer Tex Watson in the nuts and wouldn't let go. I imagine that is what tRump is afraid of. Go, dogs, GO!

Some very obnoxious people dote on their pets and treat other humans like crap. The Nazis outlawed animal experimentation because they thought it was barbaric.

Thanks for this reminder.

I'm sure they can sense the malevolence in him.
Hope your beautiful Chloe & Duke are doing well.

(12,561 posts)He was a great dog, and got along with people just fine. We found him on the street on Christmas day, we tried to catch him but he ran away. Months later we ended up with him.
I had a friend I knew from high school. He was a bit of a loner, and had a dark sidethe kind that people enjoy his company, but felt a little uncomfortable around him sometimes.
I threw a party for my wife years ago, and that friend was invited and showed up a little later. He came in the house and I gave him a big greeting. We spoke for a bit, then my dog walked up to him and started growling. My friend got annoyed and said, "Stupid dog."
That pup of mine NEVER growled at anyone before. I would have to guess my friend didn't like dogs and our dog detected it.

Later, after she developed Alzheimer's, she was convinced that my brothers big orange snuggle bug tabby, named Dude, was a dog. She LOVED Dude.
