Yes, big time dog person here. I currently share my life with four crazy, high energy dogs and it’s absolutely marvelous (if not a bit exhausting).

I went on a slightly unhinged rant on here the other day about how lefties ought to get on board with protection sports and the k9 world.

The dog world (in my particular dog sports of choice in my corner of the U.S. at least) in general skews conservative-to-fascist. I’m a member of multiple dog clubs/training groups/orgs and I am, thus far, the only person left of Obama that I know of. There are a few libs here and there, but most are pretty quiet about it. Since I share a mutual loathing for libs with the more conservative members of my dog groups, I use it as an opportunity to sprinkle leftist theory/talking points into our conversations.

Honestly, it’s pretty great. I get to hang out with dogs and build working class solidarity/develop class consciousness with people who otherwise would never encounter these ideologies.
