@Mr_NutterButter @beardalaxy I've already said that dogs are useful for hunting and farming, even today. I'm really talking about the common household where they really serve no practical purpose unless you are disabled.

And I'm probably the only person on Earth who doesn't find dogs or cats cute. I don't know why someone would ever associate cuteness with creatures that will eat garbage, drink from toilets, and literally eat their own shit. Cleaning either of them seems to be a pain because neither dogs nor cats like it. Cats are generally afraid of water and would rather clean themselves with their own saliva.

Dogs are also paradoxically associated with ugliness along with cuteness. I see women referring to gross men as "dogs" all the time, but they will also consider dogs cute. I really don't get it. Cats are also considered ugly in some circumstances but this is mainly referring to urban stray cats.
