Spoiled Golden Retriever Dog made a big mess by ripping a pillow
I recently came across a vid where someone's Golden Retriever completely tore apart a pillow, leaving a massive mess everywhere. Instead of addressing the dog's behavior or considering the inconvenience it caused, the comments were flooded with people defending the dog, saying things like, the dog is good, the dog is being playful, etc
This highlights a major problem with Dog Culture: the tendency to excuse bad behavior and act like dogs are flawless. It's as if no matter what they do whether it’s ripping apart furniture, barking excessively, or invading people's space it’s always brushed off as cute ans harmless.
In reality, this mindset is harmful. It creates an environment which makes these dog owners refuse to acknowledge their pets mistakes, let alone take responsibility for them. Imagine if a child made the same mess; would people laugh it off the same way? Likely not. It should not be acceptable for dogs to be held to such low standards of behavior while humans and other animals are held to much higher ones?
Dog Culture promotes the idea that dogs can do no wrong, even when their actions negatively impact the people around them. It's frustrating to see how often the needs and feelings of dogs are prioritized over those of humans, no matter the situation. This level of favoritism is toxic and perpetuates the idea that dogs should be spoiled and unaccountable.
We need to hold dogs, their owners and these people overdefend dogs accountable. Being playful or cute should never be an excuse for destructive behavior, especially when it affects others. It's time to stop enabling this mindset and recognize that dogs, like any other creature, are capable of mistakes and should be taught to behave respectfully.
