    One sure sign of moral and intellectual weakness is the failure to recognise the wonderfulness of dogs.https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/943581863435751424 …

    One of the great symptoms of our moral and intellectual decline is that so many of us idolize and humanize dogs. It's truly deranged.

        Really, I thought it was putting the world into absolute, #AllOrNothing categories that demonstrates which people are morally weak... ... ...at least somewhat so😉https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/943927099563429889 …

        Absolutely true. Except when it comes to dogs and tea.

        Dogs really are wonderful, we should all be a bit more like dogs.

        Fatuous thing for a conservative to say. Dogs teach us the virtues of loyalty, courage and self-sacrifice.

        I like Richard Dawkins’ comment on dogs: ‘They are such good sports’.

        I think he attributed that to an unnamed friend of his, but yes, definitely

        It's a footnote in The Greatest Show on Earth - I'm not aware that it's attributed to anyone else.

        This may just show fallibility of memory. I recalled Ancestor's Tale. Should have waited until I could consult the book

        I was right! It's in the discussion on mudskippers; he attributes it to "a girlfriend of mine long ago".

        In the Ancestors Tale? I haven’t read that. He must have said it twice!

        It's great, may even be my personal favourite. There's a revised edition (with expanded input from co-author Yan Wong) out recently

        Not his point. To respect dogs, treat them as dogs and don’t anthromophise them.
