@@ChrisAlbertH47 not really. There are misunderstood, poorly trained, abused, anxious, or otherwise struggling dogs. Dogs aren't bad. They don't intentionally do bad things, unlike people who can understand that what they are doing is wrong, may or will hurt people, and then decide to do it anyway because they are selfish or lack empathy or any number of reasons. A dog doesn't bite someone because it's a bad dog or wants to hurt someone. It bites because it is scared and/or feels threatened (such as entering their territory/home) and an owner has failed to properly socialize and train the dog, or because an owner has abused it in the past, or trained it to be aggressive. Or in some cases because of a very strong pretty drive combined with not enough careful training with an owner that is assertive. Some dogs have more innate tendency to behave one way or another, but no dog intentionally does evil things, especially not premeditated things, like humans. And while a tragic number of dogs are euthanized due to bad behavior, in the vast majority of cases, this is typically because shelters and owners lack the resources both in money, kennel space, and qualified trainers with patience to help rehabilitate and train dogs that are untrained, traumatized, reactive, aggressive, or anxious.

@@ZebraGirl97 You're pointing out socialization and learning as reasons for why dogs act a certain way. The same can be said of people. No one is born bad. Though I would agree that between the two only people "should" be able to understand the consequences of their actions. Generally though, when we make distinctions between good and bad, we look at actions and their results. We don't always go into philosophical discussions about what the underlying causes are. That's another discussion entirely. Let's just say that I do agree that "bad" when it comes to people, are on a different level as "bad" when it comes to animals, like dog.

I used to take him night fishing in the sea and he would go off on his own, then when I'd forgotten about him he'd run through my legs and knock me over, total piss taker, I miss him so much.

I have reptiles and I love them but none of them ever compared to the love of my doggy. I miss him. They truly are man's best friend.
