Are Dogs Better?

It goes without saying that a dog is man's best friend. But, there: I've said it anyway.

Most dog owners would consider thier closest friends and/or relationships on par with the attachment that they have with their dog(s).

That being the hypothetical case...
Here is my question; Who do you trust more? Your dog or your local/state/federal representative?

I think it's a fair question. Both rely upon YOU for their survival, their security, their very purpose in life, etc.
Likewise, YOU rely upon them to look out for your well being.

Well?

i am lucky enough to share my living space with a pair of pure bred rottweillers , which i purchased. i also have a mongrel whos owners had given it the concrete alley between two houses as its primary and only environment, when i heard they were going to put the poor thing down for barking all day............ i offered to take it instead.
i also have a one eyed chihuahua rescued from the local shelter's death row. The single eye was grossing out the kiddies who were its potential source of adoption. The cringe factor that goes with such disfigurement, sealing her fate.

So to the question, my honest answer is at a base level i trust the human. if the scenario was for example leave a child in the untended company of either candidate, i would choose the human because , i would expect its process of cognition to be more sophisticated, and its afinity for its own species to be a significant positive factor.

Politicians are funny creatures, its been my observation that no matter who you vote for....... the Govt always gets in.....
