She’s very excitable and barks loudly and rapid-fire and it takes basically nothing to set her off. It’s loud enough to give me a headache through a closed door, and from my perspective the barking fits come more or less at random. Not helping things is that my family thinks it’s hilarious to get her riled up and does it constantly 
But if you say you don’t like dogs, people act like there is something wrong with you and assume you must be a bad person 
It’s worse than this. Even if you say you’re neutral about dogs, or something inoffensive like “dogs are fine, but I wouldn’t want one” people think you’re a sociopath.
Some of those same people will go on at great length about how much they hate cats
I don’t mind dogs that are well-behaved, definitely a cat person. But I’m not going to completely lose my shit if someone says they don’t like cats. I’ve heard dog people say the most unhinged shit about hurting cats. I especially do not understand people who are okay with violence against other humans, even children, but can’t handle the thought of something bad happening to a dog.
I get watching animals hurt in fiction can be traumatic to some people for completely valid and understandable reasons. I think there’s something wrong with your morals, however, if you don’t see anything wrong happening to a child, especially toddlers and babies. It comes up a lot in horror film discussions. Dog people will be like “I can handle sexual assault and baby killing, but I draw the line at abandoning a dog or feeding it the wrong food.”
Last month, I got roped into remoting in to work to deal with an after-hours trouble call. I was in Skype with a tech from another team within my department, whose system talks to the one that I maintain. Out of the fucking blue he just decides to start talking about murdering cats.
Yeah the stereotype is “crazy cat lady” but if you ask any veterinarian, they’ll tell you it’s actually the dog people who are unhinged
