Are you a dog person or a cat person?

1. Dogs are much better friends than cats.
2. I am a big and strong man - cats are too small and fragile for me to play with them and i would probably squish and kill my cat accidentally when walking to the WC at night.
With my >100lbs Alascan Malamute i can always be a little bit rough when playfully pretending to take his favorite blanket or bone from him or "fighting" him in the snow and few times i stomped/kicked him in the dark he did not even sqeal (after being stomped on by half asleep clumsy 225lbs any cat would be seriously hurt (broken ribs) or even dead).
3. I can see emotions (love, happiness) in my dog's eyes and mouth - a cat is like an alien from another planet - absolutely no emotional contact.

I love that type of dog! A good friend of mine had one in high school, his name was Bear.
I myself grew up with a almost 200 pound English Mastiff. The most wonderful gentle giant ever!
Until now I have always grown up with and been around big dogs, but now that I have a little guy I would have to say the poop scooping alone is well worth it and I adore having a "lap dog" of appropriate size!

Do you have any pics of your doggy?

I named mine Conan (like the barbarian).

Mine is extremely gentle to people, but has a strong teritorial instinct so i have to hold him on a leach at all times except when we are deep in a forest - if he could roam free he would try to kill every other dog in my neighborhood.

Conan looks almost exactly (even i would not be able to recognize them from more than 20 meters) like this malamute - i would not be surprised if this was his brother (from his fathers side).

Yeah !
He's a powerful chick magnet
When he was younger all local children always shouted "Cooonaaaan !" at a first sight of him and ran to pet him and accompanied us on our daily walks.

One little girl even lied to her friends that i was her father (maybe it was due to my superhero appearance at that time too hehehe (i experimented with low dosages of anabolics)) and Conan was her dog !
