Dogs - The Only Friends We Need?

[Jaywalk Twinborn]

Dogs. We love them.

But there is one problem. Do we devote enough friendship to Man(and Woman)’s best friends? Sometimes humans just get in the way of things. Are dogs—the perfect animal—the only friends we need?

Well, clearly, they are. We must start a religion, recognize our inferiority and step down, and hand out that sweet sweet propaganda.

Sorry, but no.

We don't need humans, but we don't need dogs either.

(And no I don't care that it's my phobia caused by trauma speaking so you can shut up right now)

[AonEne Shard]

HERESY! NONBELIEVER! 

But Ark, OOC, maybe don’t tell people to shut up? 

[Lunar Blessing Ghostblood]

Mmmm. Yes. Mmm. Doggos. Mmm

It's a well documented fact that dogs are man's best friend. Conversely, girls' best friends are apparently diamonds. I used to think that one half of the populace (I'll let you decide which) was getting a raw deal, but now I see that all of humanity is missing the point.

It's time to cut out the middle man. We should all become dogs by using this not-at-all-sketchy ray gun I found at my local dog park! (It was just a regular park before I test fired it a few times, but never mind that.)

Who's with me? 

[Wyndlerunner Tarachin Superstar]

Dogs are wonderful, they are glorious creatures.

But seriously, they give me emotional support without giving me social anxiety. So...

Can confirm this is incorrect

Interesting poll results. Exactly half said that dogs are either "Yes" or "Obviuosly" better friends than people, and the other half at this point said they are not. 

Then one third said that we do need people, one third said we don't, and one third questioned the validity of the question in the first place.

Controversial opinion: dogs are overrated by a lot!

[Salmon of Doubt Noble-Blooded]

I welcome our new canine overlords. Dogs are better than people, so clearly they should be there ones to rule.

[soyperson Dawnsinger]

Hey everybody: I think dogs should vote!

Dog vote! Dog vote! Dog suffrage!

I don't agree, but I'm so relieved that this was a "Chaos the normal person" post instead of a "scary Chaos who we must bow down to" post that I shall not engage you in a discussion at this current moment.

My only good friend is a dogge. So...yeahs. To get a big amount of friends, I just need to raise the number of dogs in my house, so easy <3 PUPPER IS ALL I NEED.

Sup. Glad to see you this time around again.

Wish we could remember our previous lives...well the good ones at least and maybe some of the bad ones just to keep us humble.

Are you a dog?!  

[FatherTiempo Silent Gatherer]

So, statistically speaking over 54% of the Shard are convinced that dogs are superior to humans.

Thankfully it seems that at least 60% think that we still need humans.

The most popular opinion to give dogs their deserved place seems to be creating a religion based on canine worship.

I wonder what this religion will involve. Will there be saint-type representatives for each dog species?

The thing about cat's is that they're mostly solitary hunters and don't care about your hapiness. While dogs are a pack animal and care about how you feel and want to please you

[FatherTiempo Silent Gatherer]

The thing about cats is that if they were any bigger they'd eat you. 

However if the cats banded together they could overpower any human. 

Since they have solitary instincts humans are safe.
