Some people aren't dog people. We don't understand them, but we understand that there are people out there who don't like dogs. One of them is the author of this AITA post, who doesn't want to go on his annual family vacation because his brother has a small dog, whom he also wants to bring on the trip. The author of the post has an 18-month old toddler, which is seemingly unrelated to his dislike of dogs and why he doesn't want the dog to come.
Naturally, his brother wants to bring the dog, his family, on the family vacation. The author writes, "I'm not a dog person, I despise them on airplanes. I do not want to travel with the dog….I do not want to stay the week in the same house as the dog…" etc. Here's the kicker, he even describes the dog as "too kind" and "well-behaved". So it's not even the dog's fault, it's just this guy's hatred of dogs. What do you think, should he suck it up and try to like the dog? Or should he not deal with dogs if he doesn't like them?
"The dog behaves fine…it's too friendly." Those are words that describe the goodest boy ever and probably the perfect dog to take on a vacation. It's going to run around, enjoy nature, play with the adults, sleep, and eat! What's not to love?
TRUE. An 18-month-old definitely is going to cry more and require more planning around activities than a dog. The dog might even help with entertainment for the toddler! If its a well-trained dog, it shouldn't be a problem. Sorry OP, YTA.
