My dog loves everybody, but once on a walk, a totally innocuous-looking older lady went by us, and my dog growled. I decided that old lady must have been a space alien wearing a human suit because my sweet girl never did that before or since.
I met a dog that didn’t like me and it bothered me so much. Like what vibe is this dog getting? I’m the one who meets dogs out in public and gives them head tickles and completely ignores their owners (only a little awkward when you realize you didn’t even say hello). What’s this dog seeing?
do you know the owner of that dog? Oftentimes when this happens (what you described), there is something "off" with the owner. Animals tend to absorb some of what lay inside the owner(s).
Mumblety-mumble years ago, my (now) wife took me to her home from college ostensibly for Thanksgiving, but really to find out if her dog liked me or if she was going to dump me.
There are a few breeds. Chow chow. I will not touch someone’s chow. They are one person dogs. Especially if you’re a stranger. Most guarding breeds do their job. Don’t jump to greet them. Just be patient.
Me personally, never happened, however, many, many years ago, guy I was dating, sat down and Pooh Bear (my Chow dog), started growling. Don't know what she sensed, but I told him he needed to leave.
I don’t wag my tail for just anyone. Unlike dogs, who adore every stranger they meet, I assess, judge, and decide if you’re even worth my time. If I like you, you’ve truly earned it. If not… well, enjoy being ignored. #EliteJudgment #CatsKnowBest #DogsAreDesperate
I think there are mean dogs in the world, but usually a dog means automatic love. If a dog reacts negative to a person, I think the dog detects that person can be a danger in some way
Right. In that discomfort/fear that some people have, there is an inherent hostility or violence...this, I believe, is what the dogs and other animals sense.
100% this 💙🐾 Dogs are the best judge of character, they can feel a person's energy and intentions. If my girl doesn't like someone, I trust her completely!
There is only one dog that I know of that does not like me and it is my mom's dog. But I don't like his almost 13-year-old ass either so the feeling is mutual.😂
Absolutely! When we went to speak with a priest about our wedding he asked if we were scared of dogs and we said no. He was outside of the door and he let him in. He then laid down in between us. The priest said he never does that with anyone. He said we were good people. The dog growled at my mom 😂
People form judgements for all the wrong reasons. It's all subjective. Dogs don't form judgements. It's simply, I like you or I don't. I trust you, or I don't. They can read vibes in us just as they can in other dogs.
I make friends with all the dogs. I’ve met 2 who didn’t care for me. One doesn’t like anyone but her mom. The other is just weird. I made friends with an aggressive blind & deaf Great Dane. It took a month but I did it.
Totally!! 100 thousand percent true!!! Never trust a person if your dog doesn't like that person. Also don't trust somebody who doesn't like Mac and cheese!! I know that sounds a little extra judgey but it's about 98% accurate, whereas the dog thing is 100%
Wow! If you like spicy food, make some Mac and cheese and add some hot sauce (Frank's is my personal favorite) or even better green chile. That's a southwest thing if you don't know it. But even original mac and cheese is truly awesome comfort food! And my dogs love it!!!!!!!!
So true. If one dog doesn’t like you, fine. But if in general dogs don’t like you, find a mirror and investigate the problem. Same applies to little kids.

And applies to felines too, of course! 🐈🐈🐈⬛
Actually, applies to all non-human sentients! They DO know! 👌🏽
*Whew*
It might have been a dog with phobias of some kind though.
Same goes for cats, donkeys, birds etc.
FACT: Every dog hates Trump.
If my dog doesn't like you, all bets are off.
So, if my dog doesn't address you, I don't either. I trust him completely
Only cats too
They are more picky.
I trust our dogs, every time!
(But he bit people)
He bit strangers with guns.
I kinda like that.
Or jailed.
Love it.
Stealing it Jessi!
You don't like my dogs, or my dogs don't like you--
We will never be friends. Ever.
Don't doubt the dogs.
Though when cats choose me I feel like it’s being chosen by a god 🤩😻
