Title says it all. What really irks you that you don't get to complain about much without catching some glances? Seriously, get as passionate as you'd like. I assume you're an expert.

I think you can learn to not be angry by understanding dogs better. They are protecting their territory and they are the one animal that loves its humans more then anything.

They are actually amazing. So I think if you learn the positive things about them, you may like them more.

The dogs piss me off at that moment, sure, but it's the owners I hate..
