If I was kidnapped and treated like a fucking king and given a much better life than I would ever be able to get for myself then I wouldn't complain much about it either.

Would that I could be kidnapped the way dogs are "kidnapped". Less the neutering bit though.

My dog asked me to kidnap him. He made it really really clear....

First he kept whining and crying trying to jump into my car but it was too full. So I came back and got him later.

Then I had to leave him at a shelter and then guy who ran it told me he got along with everyone but as soon as people tried to adopt him he growled at rhem and refused to get in their car.

He was waiting for me. He'd already decided I was his human, long before I kidnapped him.

They choose their humans sometimes. It's not always so obvious but they do.

BDSM is feeding someone food they like every meal, cuddling and playing with them?

"Yeah, he said he was into BDSM but then he cooked me a nice meal, took me on a lovely walk in a park and then we cuddled. I actually had to initiate anything more..."

My dogs weren't even kidnapped. They were both strays that just walked in and decided to live with me. Like literally walked up to me as puppies. Didn't want a dog but one of them decided to be sick on my doorstep and I felt bad and didn't want them to die on my porch. Took them to the vet and had to name them. Now I suddenly have 2 dogs. Felt like I was scammed.

Yep, yep, under the covers is asking for a mess of fur. On top of the covers and curled up behind my knee, best sleep aid ever! Her soft snores and gentle sleep gallops are so sweet and relaxing, gonna spoil this one for the rest of her days 🐾💕

Edit: a word

Basically all dogs that love their owners, have Stockholm Syndrome? Sounds about right.

This wouldn't apply. Dogs were trained and domesticated from ages ago to be with us. Dogs found in the wild are called feral and its a consequence from poor handling of the human, but not a natural occurence.

This thought it's like saying that parents kidnap their kids whose later fall in love with them.

>And what kind of people doesn't allow their dog on the couch?!

Psychopaths.

My 7 month old pup that I got from a family a couple of days ago has been sleeping in my bed since I brought him home and chills on the sofa when I'm at home.

He absolutely doesn't like strangers, but settled down in the car after a few minutes and then quickly chilled out when I got him home and found something he liked to play with.

I'm met my dogs parents and the mom kept pushing the puppy towards me and trying to give me their child. So I decided to raise the puppy in a house that it could feel loved in, instead of growing up with a mom who didn't want them.

Don’t forget stolen from your parents and siblings, you can’t go outside unless allowed, can’t hang out with your own kind unless allowed, little choice in what you eat and usually it’s the same crap every day, basically you have about as many choices as are allowed human prisoners, though probably comfier digs.

Oh and some people are shitty or even sadistic pet owners. And you don’t get to complain about that either. And some people will put you down rather than pay for a slightly expensive medical procedure.
