Every dog I've encountered that was bought has been a great dog. All but one were extremely healthy and all were well behaved and very social.

Every shelter/stray dog I've encountered have had some trauma or hangup that made they way more trouble than I was willing to deal with. Current displeasure has been a "free to a happy home" that my parents got. This dog dislikes any guy with a voice deeper than Richard Simmons and if you're said guy and wearing a hat she's going to get bite-y.

Every cat I've ever known has been some form of asshole. Quite a few have been the type I approve of and enjoy. It hasn't mattered how they were acquired.

Edit: I'm inept. Is this Sarah C Andersen comic showing up?

I was tricked into all my cats by girlfriends. The cats lasted way longer than the girlfriends. Better mousers, too.

The cat distribution system works in mysterious ways. I don't have a cat, but when i worked in pet stores, i heard all the stories.

Now for me? It's a dog distribution system cause i tend to find my puppies in the most odd circumstances and if i had left the place one minute earlier or later, i would never have gotten the awesome pup i have now.

Man that article can fuck off, there are tons of dogs in shelters that need homes instead of buying a dog from a shit bag breeder

I'm trying to think here... I think dog #1 was found next to the dumpster of an apartment complex. Dog #2 was from a shelter and had been picked up next to the dumpster of an apartment complex. Dog #3 was from a stray that whelped underneath someone's trailer home and everyone who knew the homeowner pitched in to help adopt out the pups. All great dogs, aside from #1 who was pretty territorial.

Meanwhile, my aunt bought a breeder dog (a white lab), and that was also an amazing dog with a lot of health issues. I think she paid bookus for it, so I'm on top of that particular fight.

actually, i found my dog in a dumpster. With her sister, that now lives with my brother.

My first cat was my grandmother's purebred Russian blue cat. She moved in with us when I was a kid and brought her Russian blue and Scottish fold. The Russian blue became mine and the Scottish fold welded herself to my mother. Poor grandmother, both her cats abandoned her!

Most memorable acquisition was playing rpgs at someone's home. A whip thin cat runs out, eyes as big as dinner plates, scared.

What a lovely cat! I say. Because it's a cat. I love all cats the second I view them.

Everyone who lived there turned and said at the same time

DO YOU WANT HER

And that's how we brought home a cat

I miss her

She was the best cat known to humans.

Dog would be like: found in the dumpster, it wag its tail, its mine.

But to be fair with cats, my youngest cat is like he found me, yell at me, he's mine.

the dogs we still have (rip the others) were free on Facebook marketplace and they are texas heelers. i love these dogs.

Got my first cat because he showed up at my dad's gas station acting like he owned the place.

Dumpster gremlins are just the best 😸
