Non-Americans, is dog worship among women as bad in your country too?

[Jesse Pinkman]

I am just wondering and even though I am an American, I guess a part of me will not mourn the day that other countries officially overtake the US on a global stage because of how bad dog worship has gotten here. A part of me does wonder though, from all of the non-Americans in here, is dog worship as bad in your country among women as it is in the US?

I've thrown in the towel on American culture and American women but I am wondering if it is this bad in other countries as well or if there are cultures out there who are pushing back against it hard.

Where I live dog owners still love their dogs but there's not the same level of obsession and "mothering" as in the USA. Could be getting worse though as US culture creeps in.

Dogs are treated as pets in the Netherlands, not as substitute children (with a few exceptions, of course).

I dated several dog-owning women, never did they treat their dogs with anything but the normal pet affection.

If they are small and many they are to replace kids, if he is one and big he is there to replace a boyfriend.

America is great OP, look at Haiti.

The whole "dog mom" trend is extremely cringe. It's kind of like emotional bestiality. Don't get me wrong, I like dogs as much as any normal person does but they are pets, nothing more.

I generally avoided women who owned dogs. If anything is going to be jumping and slobbering all over me, it should be HER.

I get what you are saying man but in some cases, these women are becoming unavoidable.

Honestly man, dog worship culture has gotten so out of hands that I am now starting to hate dogs as a result of it.

once you get a loyal loving dog, it is kind of hard to drop off the cycle. I think we are just chasing focusing on the symptoms and not the disease itself. If it isn’t dogs, tik tok, social media, Starbucks; it would be something else. These things exist outside the US and the problems are much less or almost non existent. With all these disqualifications, we are sounding like the picky women we complain about.

I just watched an old episode of "I Shouldn't Be Alive" on YouTube the other night. The guy in the episode got stranded in the Amazon for 28 days. A stray dog he met at the beginning of the trip followed him into the jungle. After he loses all his food when his canoe overturns, he decides to kill and eat the dog (after going 3 weeks with virtually nothing to eat).

Unfortunately he is in the advanced stages of malaria, and isn't able to keep any food he ingests down, making the sacrifice of the dog mostly pointless.

I was taken aback by many of the comments below the video (most of which were made by female sounding usernames, although there were a fair number of men as well). Virtually all the commenters wished the dog had made it out and the guy had died instead.

I had a dog that I loved dearly for 9 years, but good grief, these people were just in a rage over a damn dog being killed.

Take it from a soon-to-be veterinarian my friends, from my experience, there is a correlation between how she treats her dogs and how much something isn't quite right upstairs. Sometimes I would rather send the owners to a specialist than the pet.
