The Caucasian Culture of Canines

Reposted from 2008.

As the web site entitled Stuff White People Like, they poke fun at the Caucasian culture of canine anthropomorphism:

A lot of cultures love dogs - be it for entertainment, labor, or other. But white people love dogs on an entirely different level.

It should be understood that in white culture, dogs are considered training for having children. That is to say that any white couple must get a dog before they have kids. This will prepare them for responsibility by having another creature to feed, supervise it’s bathroom activities, and to love. Because of this, white people generally assume that their dog is their favorite child unless otherwise stated.

When actual children are born, the dog is not displaced but rather remains as the most important member of the household. This is because of the fact that white children will eventually hate their parents, but dogs will love anyone who feeds them.
White people generally believe that dogs have human emotions and that they are capable of loving certain TV shows, films, and music. “Buster just loves watching Six Feet Under!” Even though most dogs would enjoy watching Hitler if he were getting attention every time it came on the TV.

They also believe that their dogs share similar tastes in food - “Little Ben Kweller likes the Organic food the best.” Forgetting the fact that dogs enjoy eating their own feces, and pretty much anything that falls onto the floor.

When searching for homes, many white people will require large yards so that their “dog can run around.” If you work in real estate, this can be exploited for large markups when selling to white people.

It is also a proven fact, that dogs are often used by white people to attract members of the opposite sex. Bringing a puppy or dog to a local dog park, will encourage interaction and conversation. Even more so than a Mac Laptop.

If white people are ever talking about their dogs, it is essential that you reassure them that their dogs are absolutely special and unique. That they are being properly cared for, and that treating them like children is the only way to care for a pet. Under no circumstance EVER should you say anything that is derogatory towards dogs, critical of spoiling dogs, or that they are not full members of society who deserve the same rights as humans. Doing any of these three things will completely destroy all relationships you might have had with a white person.

Perhaps this attitude is common among white people. I once watched an episode of Cesar Millan. A women had a Chihuahua who used to growl and bark at her son but she was not ready to do anything against the dog.
Cesar Millan told her to throw the dog onto floor from her lap if it growl at her son. She did. By the end of show the dog started begaving 'properly'.

Another really disturbing case I read at World Mastiff Forum. A woman vacated her mother because she left her Mastiffs outside. Seriously this is just insulting for a mother.

To my surprise Goos Ball+ already commented on mastiff forum, that was my intention.

Besides my dachshunds and terrier I also have a Cane Corso, so I joined that forum some years ago, but putting aside the lady that specializes in dog food and a Portuguese K-9 instructor, reading mastiff-forum is a bizarre experience, is hard to describe.

I tried to blend/adapt just to get some answers to my post, but after reading my own post I just quit...
