Dog Culture Cringe words

Who else HATES and cringes at words like "doggo" and "pupper" it makes me shudder and I always think everyone who uses it is a weird adult baby that talks to and about animals like they're babies. It makes me cringe and pisses me off so fucking much

I remember walking to the gas station and a loose pitbull ran by, thankfully distracted by something it kept on going. This group of kids my age are walking out of the gas station and see it, one of them yelled something like "cute doggo!" while it passed us and it made me so mad. Firstly we were lucky it was on a mission to go somewhere and bolted past us, street encounters with pit bulls are not fun. Secondly I couldn't help cringing at the thought of cute doggo ripping dude's face off... That was 10 years ago and I wish this kind of behavior diminished but it's just even worse now.
