It can be that the person doesn't like dogs because it's kind of gross. Smell your hand after petting one. I like dogs though.

- fletchowns 10y agoYou have a very low threshold for what is considered gross. That's just the tip of the iceberg with pets! (and babies)
- chris_7 10y agoNeither of those noisy (distracting) things belong in an office, though. Offices are a place for focus.
- sliverstorm 10y agoHaven't had an office dog, but shop dogs are usually wonderful- sweet, quiet, unobtrusive, and pleasant to have around. Not all dogs are like that, of course
- GFK_of_xmaspast 10y agoWhat's wrong with bringing a baby to the office?
- xapata 10y agoBabies sometimes cry loudly.
- outworlder 10y agoI used to think that too. Until I got my own. While there are breed variations and some seem to have a skin that's oilier than most, actual bad smell is a sign that something is wrong. As in humans, it is usually due to poor hygiene, with poor oral health being the biggest culprit (dogs use the mouth to scratch, remove things from fur, lick themselves, etc). Skin conditions are rather common, some can smell really bad. Even if it is something as benign as whatever the dog acne equivalent is. Localized smell usually means the dog found something interesting, to his sense of smell, and rubbed itself on it. Of course, some owners are just too lazy to bathe their dogs, even once a month.
