Are lame. The dog deserves better. Just saw a person that made me think poor pooch your idiot human is going to get you in trouble because they haven't figured out that you can't argue a dog out of acting up! Just had to vent.

+1. It's a tremendous annoyance everywhere. Why people acquire pets they are unable or unwilling to properly take care of is beyond me. Seems like they think of them as just another possession, I guess.

My wife is an attorney and recently there’s been quite an uptick of dog bite cases. Almost always the dog owner blames the person that was bit and online (Facebook) the owner will brag about how vicious the dog is.
I came back from S Asia in the early Sixties, stayed at Grandparents farm, needed peace and quiet, Grandmaw talked me into going and taking her to the Dairy Day parade, parked by the Big Catholic Church, band was rounding the square, an old lady was with a pekenize, little fuzzy 
, was watching the band when my ankle was crunched, looked down and that fuzzy piece of was on my ankle, I dropped kick that little SOB. He flew almost hitting the inside of the tuba, owner was shrieking, felt like drop kicking her. Got Grandmaw and we went home, her kerosine poultice was as bad as the bite.

When I go out on the walking paths that surround my house, I always make sure that I can defend myself.
If you want to try and rate how good a dog owner might be, look to their children. Another way is to rate how well socialized the prospective dog owner is. Most telling might be, how well a prospective owner gets along with neighbors and such. A self-centered person is not a great candidate for a pet, any pet.
I argue with my dogs all of the time.
"Which one of you chewed a hole in the cookie box?"
"A-roo-roo."
"Grunt."
"There's only two of you so who did it?"
Stares blankly with tail wagging.
Drops head in shame.
"Ah-ha!"
Hugs both of them anyway.
Mr. guilty doesn't get treats for a day ot two though.

I am not a dog fan.
They:
Poop
Pee
Scratch
Bark
Puke
Roll in the smelly dead thing
Chew things
Need feeding
Wreck the house/garden
Need vet treatment
Need walking everyday
Then they die and upset the children

Death, something children need to be exposed to. Simply a fact of life. Seeing death should increase the joy in life.
Waza, a difficult truth, but I wholeheartedly agree with you. Thanks for posting that
I think there are two types that suck. The people that just don't care at all. Basically criminal types. And then the can't be arsed to learn what they're doing and keep banging their head against the wall. The dog in question barks at every other dog it sees and the person who walks it can't control it. They then sort argue with the dog which makes it more excited. Like come on you have the internet and the resources to learn how to deal with it. And it's every freaking day.
You're not wrong. One of them ate part of a bag of Crooner a few years ago. She's up to a hundred pounds in her cellar now BTW, but a few of her Elizabethan match jars came out of my closet.
You just described children.
the only difference is dogs don't turn into adult humans. Others pretty similar. Oh and you have to make kids wear clothes dogs grow their own.
Most things fall on a bell-curve-shaped spectrum.
With dogs, it ranges from "shoot it now" to "as good as Life gets".

cats are basically toddlers with razor fingers and the ability to climb real good.Permanent four year olds.
