Well, they are gentle dogs. All dogs need upkeep and maintenance.....most dogs need a modicum of training too.
It is very easy to see that you are not a friend of dogs. Most dogs give out far more than is expended on them. They give unconditional love. They do not care what you look like, they do not care about your social status. They (unlike humans) do not judge and make sweeping generalisations based on flawed ideals.

There are some dogs that I like far more than some humans.
