Tbh, I’m not sure how pervasive the idea that dogs are helpless furry children are. Sure people love to treat their pets that way, but it’s not like feral dogs don’t exist.
I think they’re more domesticated than cats, sure, but you need to look no further than pitbull drama to see that they’re complex creatures and more than (submissive pets).
As it applies to puppygirl posting, there’s very little it has to do with characteristics real dogs display. The traits and actions and interactions that are fun and make people feel good will naturally be what draws people to it. I’d imagine there’s people out there who like to roleplay dogs realistically but I honestly wouldn’t put that under the petplay umbrella.
Sorry I don’t want to be argumentative! You’re definitely not wrong about what you’re talking about I’m just not sure if you were just talking about neat stuff that’s loosely related or were saying something about puppygirl values so I thought I’d vomit some words onto the internet and pretend they have value
It’s more the idea that they can’t be both independent and friendly in a way that’s similar to cats. They can be both free and not feral. There was a dog in my neighborhood who patrolled the road and the park nearby, having a similar level of independence as a housecat. As a result of being a large enough dog to be safe from coyotes, he was friendlier with strangers than the cats in the neighborhood. Sometimes people picked him up, thinking he was lost, but he was just vibin.
For independent dogs, it’s better to be friendly than hostile like stereotypical pitbulls. Often when dogs are mean like that, it’s because they are defending the rigid boundaries of the yards they’re kept in. The dog that isn’t contained in their yard will be friendlier with strangers than the dog that escaped it.
As far as vomiting words on the internet goes, that’s exactly what I did, so it’s all good.
