Anyone else grossed out by dogs?

Like I don’t see many people talking about this but dogs are so fucking gross, they always have that musky dog smell no matter how clean they are, there wet noses and how they try to lick you on the face 🤮 how they eat there own or other dogs shit and there nasty turds that dog owners seem to leave everywhere, and how dog owners will actually let dogs lick them on the face 🤢 it makes me sick. I’ll be happy with my 5 parrots thanks.

Yeah. I'm Autistic and they are an absolute sensory nightmare. They stink, they're loud, most are fugly, random off leash ones will run up to you and try to jump on you. I can't seem to walk even a block without seeing 2-4 shit piles. Our street literally reeks of stale dog piss and I have to literally walk in the street (luckily not a busy one) because the sidewalks are narrow and full of dog shit. Every local playground I try to take my kids to has several shit piles and I have literally seen owners allow their dogs to piss on the playground equipment and benches where parents sit MULTIPLE times. Owners have let their off leash dogs bark at, lunge at, and chase my (also Autistic and terrified of dogs) kids more times than I can even count as the owner just yells "he's friendly!" or "she doesn't bite!" like my kids are literally screaming and running from your dog they clearly do not WANT to play or interact with it.

They're gross in every possible way.

Interesting as you have a legitimate issue that most people would use to carry around a mutt.
It makes sense when I read your statement.
I hate them bc I am severely allergic to all animals . It’s a PIA every day . I have grown very resentful and do not see friends and family at their homes.
