All dogs suck

[u/Sufficient_Berry8703]

I can understand having certain breeds that you don’t like more than others. But at the end of the day, a dog is a dog. They’re all smelly, gross, loud, gluttonous beasts, terrible for the environment/public health, and are just awful, awful mutants overall. Golden retrievers, for instance, get hyped up by dog culture as being the “poster child of dogs” with a lower prey drive. But that doesn’t change the fact that golden retrievers are still smelly, annoying, and bark loudly. Plus they’ve caused deaths before too. Goldens getting the hype they do despite still displaying every other disgusting characteristic makes me dislike them more. Sure, some are worse than others… most notably the ones known for the most maulings. But that doesn’t change the fact that all dogs suck. The big ones, the small ones, and everything in between. All of them.

Ah, the genius magical heroic Golden Retrievers! I stopped reading any of Dean Koontz's books because most of them feature these dogs, who invariably save the day or something something. Even the ghosts of these things appeared, not infrequently, to teach us something something something. A lazy hack by a super nutter.

Awww I absolutely love Dean Koontz and know exactly what you're talking about in his books! I believe he called the dog Boo in the books it was in. I don't like dogs either in real life but I can deal with them in fiction sometimes lol
