so this past weekend my room mate came back with news his dog has/had cancer. 15 minutes ago he got the call from home that it kicked the bucket and now he is absolutely beside himself crying. when he got the phone call i just popped in headphones cuz i heard him start the soft sniffles and figured personal moment. now he is crying like it was a member of the family and i can hear his girly sobs over A Day To Remember blasting in my ears.

This got me thinking about all the times ive had pets die and ive never really cried, like yea it sucked but it was always just something to shrug off and move on cuz at the end of the day they were still only animals.

So I'm wondering NS: Do u guys cry when ur dogs die and im just an ass or is my roomate being a total pussy like i think he is.

inb4 cool story bro, DK/DC.

You have never fully loved any of your pets then. The dog obviously ment a lot to him, and he probably did consider it a member of the family (I know my fam considers our dog one)

I don't have a pet but fuck yeah I would cry if my dog died. I cried just watching my wifes dog get put down. She wasn't even my pet, just watching her and her family tore up about it broke my heart.

I will probably cry when my doggies go. A lot of us consider dogs as family members. Dogs will never leave your side or betray you like friends do. They are the ultimate friend.

I have been a dog owner for just under a year and I have to say I would probably cry if my dog died.
after being used to coming home to that wagging tail i can't imagine what it was like before I had a dog.

Funny you say that because I generally find dog deaths to be more tragic than human deaths.

You're definitely bein a dick bro. My dogs are family members. They've always been here. You should talk to him and try and make him feel better and not tell him he's a pussy.

I cried more when my dog died than when my grandma died.

Which I feel bad about in retrospect.

i dont have a dog, but if my cat died id for sure cry, and dogs are even more a part of a family than a cat just cause dogs are way more social. let him cry for 2 days, if he persists after that, tell him u know its hard for him but he needs to move on, mourning will get him nowhere

MY FIRST DOG WENT WHEN I WAS 10. CRIED SO MUCH. THE THOUGHT OF LOSING MY NEW ONE MAKES ME REAL SAD TOO. SHE'S ONLY 5 THOUGH SHE'S GOT A GOOD 6-7 YEARS.

Well, humans usually suck. Dogs are usually awesome, and if they aren't it's because they were abused as pups by humans.

remove your mind from the boundaries imposed upon it by "society" and think freely about it. Why should one life of something you love be valued below the life of someone you dont love

My dog has cancer right now, and I know for a fact that when it does eventually get the best of her I probably won't be able to function for a couple days. Losing pets is one of the hardest things to me.

Definatly, my dog wasn't even dieing i was just having to give her up to someone else and i balled my eyes out. People get pretty attached to them, even if they are just animals.

troll much?

but seriously its just my opinion. if somebody had a gun and made me make the same choice MacKilligan gave, choose between a person (even some stranger ive never met) and a dog (even my own) id prolly save the person. And because i value human life, yes i can say it sux for the kid because even if i dont feel the same way about his dog, i can understand it sux that he feels bad. its called empathizing.

.... i cant believe i have to even make this argument....

you're just an animal, why should I give a fuck about you?

I got a dog when I was in high school and spent so much time training her. now, whenever i come home, I have the happiest friend in the world to see me. no matter what, every day, my dog is at my side as soon as i walk through the door. her love for me is so unconditional it's unreal. you can't get that with a person. if I had to make the choice between saving my dog and some random person I don't know, you bet your ass I'm choosing my dog.

Just the thought of having to put her down is heart breaking, you know? people can rationalize and understand death. they can accept it and embrace it. to a dog, all it wants is to keep making it's owner happy. theres no selfishness, no greed, just pure devotion. so yeah, i value my pup more than many of the people i know, and a hell of a lot higher than those i don't.
