My bf's dog (service dog in training) loves me. My cat just tolerates him in the same house.

My dog was a dreadful judge of character. Bloody awful she was. Adorable as hell but woulda bit the hands of Jesus Christ and thrown them in Bhudda’s face as a warning. Smell of cat? Straight to jail. Smell bad? Straight to jail. Smell of meat? Did you bring it? No? Surprisingly, jail

Guy walks into his bedroom with a sheep under his arm and says, "This is the pig I fuck when you're not in the mood." His wife says "That's a sheep, you idiot." He says, "I wasn't talking to you."

I never doubt the opinion of a dog, they have very few reasons to play those games
Jamesstin
The very fact that they have no understanding of what humans assign to their outbursts, nor the depth of what is basically blind hated.

#1 my dog was the final day on a if a girl was welcome in my house. If she didn’t like you I wasn’t waiting to find out why.

So I met a woman on Tinder. On our first date she took me home and showed me her boobs. On our second date we had dinner at my house and loud sex. Then, as we were getting ready to leave (me to work, her to home) my dog started puking uncontrollably. So I left this woman - this near-total stanger - alone in my house and went to work until 7 am. I came home and found them curled up on the floor. Anyway our six year anniversary is next week.

Doctor Bocker, I show you my boobs. You've got a bad case of puking pooch.

Miss Echo was 1/4 wolf and wild canid according to embark. GSD/Husky/Malamute was the rest, known as a tamaskan.
cmsport2
Now that is a part wolf claim I can believe. Usually the head structure and eye shape are the easiest way to tell, and hers are just a bit "off". Beautiful girl! A banana for scale to see how big she is would also help.
Feralkyn
It's the eye color on this one that makes me think maybe!
Vidikron
Sheath tumor on her spine took her far too young, so no naner pics. She was 65lbs, I at 6' could pet her head without bending down. Softest fur in town and the best bed snuggler. Got 3 fire stations and a police station within 2 miles of my house. Sirens were common and I miss her howling along so much, I instantly get choked up whenever I hear them, even 2 years later. Oh, and she was the best foster mom to the husky pups when we had litters come into the rescue we volunteer for.
cmsport2
Aww! That's a sweet tribute to her in your description. Sounds like she tall and lanky, similar to my girl. I wonder if that was thr GSD in her or the wolf.
Vidikron
DNA did say wild canid. She'd yip like a coyote sometimes, so maybe some long leggedness from that.

Our hound would show someone around for scritches. My GSD mix might actually try her best to kill someone who entered in uninvited.

He'd be licked to death in my house... I often think my dog may be of ancient Egyptian descent as she clearly tries to remove my brain via my nose.

My parents dog has crazy amounts of anxiety when it comes to strangers, so he'd spend the entire time barking at them from a distance.

Saying that dog is 1/8th would is like saying I'm 1/32nd Cherokee.
feryooday
Yeah, people are full of shit when they say it.
OtterlyMagnificent
...not really. 1/8 is a pretty significant value. Any kids I produce will be 1/8 Irish and 1/8 German unless my partner is one of those two (And since my husband is almost 100% Northern European/Scandanavian, that's probably not likely)
NonstopRampage
Ha. I'm WELL over 50%, and my tribe let my mother die, writhing in agony, over the 40% of me that wasn't. If I'm not enough for my own kind, anyone who is any less sure as fuck isn't.
Anyone who tries to tout that, is a bastard and I want to extend a single finger to all of them.
OtterlyMagnificent
I have yet to meet a tribe that wasn't rude to anyone who isn't 100%. So that's not special. My point is that knowing your ancestry can be useful for diagnosing medical issues.
NonstopRampage
I don't know who downvoted you, but, I feel like, this is one of those situations where I should provide some context
Our holocaust, unlike that of the jews, lasted over 400 years. They only stopped kidnappin rapin and killin our children, a year or two after my birth. They scalped us, for profit, like a WoW player collecting rat tails for 5 silver. They TRIED to enslave us, and put us in the cotton fields. We suffered the worst the white devils had to offer
My kind were justified in hating me

(Also, I get what you're saying and you're 100% correct- but you know how people are, with turning things into some kind of ISSUE. I'd rather get ahead of all that, before people get side-tracked.)

The point is that it's always a lie

If someoe doesn’t like dogs, I assume that they must have had a bad experience, or they’re allergic. When a dog doesn’t like a person, I question what kind of person they are for a good boy or good girl to immediately say “yea fuck no” to belly rubs.
NonstopRampage
To be honest, I've just become more of a cat person over the years. Plus, I'm a little desensitized. I'm in an area coyotes DAMN WELL SHOULD NEVER BE- and my first instinct is to wipe them out whenever I see them, before someones pet or child gets attacked. I'm not out in the country. This isn't their territory. Families are at risk due to their unwelcome presence.
...and as a result, after all these years culling the bastards, I'm just... NOT as big of a dog guy anymore.
rudejohn
My son is terrified of dogs because a friend's pitbull bit him unprovoked. Some dogs sense his fear and don't like him by default.
cmsport2
Yeah, this is a super ironic behavior I've seen in my dog. According to a behaviorist I've spoken with, to a dog, anxiety/fear looks and smells the same as something priming to attack with the adrenaline spike and body tension. Many dogs will dislike the person because it makes them fearful or protective of their owner from potential attack.
JT1984
Dogs can sense fear and will react badly to someone who is afraid of dogs. Not a good judgement I someone is afraid of dogs and a dog doesn't like them.
TopCommenter
I dunno that we should be putting a ton of weight on the value judgements made by creatures who think the vacuum cleaner is the devil.
JCBalance
My friends had a shelter dog that immediately hated me for some reason. We figured I must have looked similar to the previous owner.
duhqueenmoki
I always had a dog growing up, and I own an Australian shepherd now that I'm older, but I can say with confidence I will not be getting another dog. While they're amazing, they're very high maintenance and expensive (just to neuter alone was $700). Constant training, exercising, have to adjust my schedule or plans to accommodate the dog, have a whole routine when guests come over... in a lot of ways a dog is just not for me. And don't get my started on shitty dog owners... I will stick to cats.
duhqueenmoki
not that cats are super better! But compared to dogs, cats are much easier to care for and a bit more low maintenance
salikarn
My grandfather had a dachshund that hated everyone except him.
onlyhalfghost
usually. I had a dog who just hated anyone with a hat, for some reason. Had to get people to take hats off for dog judgement.
bound4doom
Hated them or wanted to play with them? Just curious cause sometimes can be confused. My Lab thought hats were the ultimate toy, I could be sitting on the couch it would come up behind me yank off the hat and run. Went to sisters house, my BIL left a hat on kitchen chair, hanging on banister, and on the side table as you com into the house. He found every single one and were a toy. No idea where he got this. Hats were favorite toy.
onlyhalfghost
growling at them and hiding behind family's legs from anyone with a hat. He was normally a very friendly, playful doggo.
salikarn
My friend's dog doesn't like sleeves. Everyone has to roll up long sleeves or he tries to grab them.
pdonettes
We are our dog's third owner. She had some bad experiences, and is really racist.
panta3
I think it's hilarious when dogs are racist.
Unfortunately mine is somewhat because he lives in a house of white people and has only seen black people a couple times. Each time he's been severely confused to the point he acts poorly.
davesaint01930
Im not a dog person. Never had a bad experience, nor am I allergic. Just don't like em. Not saying I actively hunt them. I'll never own one.
wouldClimbForCash
I was this person till I fell in love with a dog person. Now I have two. I love them too, but I wouldn't choose them for myself. Never say never.
ThrowAwayAcct0000
I'm sure you're a perfectly nice person, but that's still suspicious. :)
davesaint01930
Dogs are loud and they shed. Honestly, it takes alot to be a pet owner. I just don't have that mindset. I've had a dew dogs growing up. I have nothing against them, just don't want the responsibility of taking care of one.
theGORTtakethaway
It took getting a dog as an adult (had one all throughout childhood that I loved, but he was full grown when we got him) for me to realize that I am, and most likely will always be, a cat person.
sevenfingerman
I adopted my pup in 2010, I have straight up broken up with a girl because the two of them didn’t get along. You really have no choice, living in a house where your partner and your dog are constantly fighting sounds terrible and dangerous.

Also, the woman has other options. You can't just kick the dog out on the street.
FetteredJuvenescence
Correct ethical decision. You made a commitment to take care of the dog. Picking the girl over the dog would be like putting your kid up for adoption because your new love interest didn't want them (Sadly I know of someone who did this).
Legomaniac91
Geez, and I thought that sort of thing was restricted to the setup for a fairy tale.

Unfortunately happens more than you'd think. The person in question decided that her racist new boyfriend was more important than her half-black son.

You obviously dodged a bullet. Pets and family animals don't consistently dislike a good person. Especially when sharing a habitat.
NibblonianNibbler
My dogs needed to come with me when I got married and moved in with the hubby. So many disagreements as he never lived with inside dogs. Within 1 year he was holding my dog under his arm walking around, hugging and kissing that dog. They much more prefer him now :(
INeverWaitForIt
Pets are a good judge of character. Especially cats.
wouldClimbForCash
Not mine. She sniffs everyone, and knocks everyone's shit off the table. Allows everyone one pet before walking away. Perhaps I've never had any shitty people over. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
INeverWaitForIt
Possibly! That just sounds like a cat being a cat.
wouldClimbForCash
Correct!
Snooj
They really are not. They are good judges of things that matter to them. I had a GSD who distrusted anyone with a beard. I currently have a little black dog would would cuddle with Charles Manson if he gave her a dog treat.
xRevenx
Some dogs/cats are dumb, same as any species. I've seen many smart animals instinctively act against people they correctly deemed unsavory. As for your GSD, sounds like they have previous trauma from someone with a beard. Bottom line, if a pet dislikes someone consistently, even when sharing a habitat, they're more than likely a shit human.
volch1tsa
Or they're just anxious or loud or male or anything else completely random that doesn't make them any worse of a human but can trigger animals.
xRevenx
The fact that there is a trigger for an animal means they have some sort of internalized trauma that they haven't overcome yet. As I said before, pets & family animals don't consistently dislike a good person, especially when sharing a habitat.
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
I can't say I trust an animal's ability to judge character but I definitely judge someone if they just straight up don't like an animal for no reason. IMO people that hate cats are generally narcissistic so it's a good litmus test as far as I'm concerned.
EnokMolkeHansson
i am not fond of cats because they are really narcissistic
racknoz
They really are not.
theraininspainfallsmainlyontheplain
They are the introverts of animals. They have very different body language than dogs and not everyone intuitively gets it without adjustment. I personally am the opposite and don't know what to do around dogs.
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
Gotta love projection. Like I said, this is a great litmus test. If you're so lacking in empathy that you can't take it upon yourself to understand an animals behavior then I have news for you...
EnokMolkeHansson
"projection" is a bold word to use while claiming a complete stranger is lacking in traits, desire and cognitive ability.
good luck with your "litmus test" :)

FIL is worried about our cats being around our baby when he is born. Told us how his friend lost an eye to a cat. My husband's response "what was your friend doing to the cat to provoke that?" FIL had no answer as to what actually happened.
Generally if you don't encroach on a cats space or safety they won't hurt you. It's people who feel entitled to forcing cats to do things that end up getting hurt. Parents are responsible for teaching kids that.
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
It's crazy to me how ignorant people can be about cats. So many people don't bother learning and project that the animal is 'an asshole' or 'narcissistic' because they can't treat them however they like. I find that problematic and rather telling of a person's level of conscious.
racknoz
Yeah. A cat will generally make it known if they want to be left alone. If you ignore that, you'll get scratched.
