“Would you continue dating someone who hates dogs but will tolerate yours and is nice to them but doesn’t really play with them like a dog person usually does?”
Hi sorry, I know this is not a relationship sub but I’m curious if people that were in great relationships have ended things because you ultimately chose your dog and future dogs first before your ex partner? I just can’t see how this would work in terms of happiness for you and the dog?

No, because I would like to have other dogs in the future. It’s great if they like this dog, but if I get a new puppy or if they don’t click with my next dog, then what?
I don't trust people who hate dog's so it would probably be a deal breaker.
Yep. I trust the instincts of my best friend. You’re not an animal person? Than I’m not a “you” person. We are too different.
My ex was exactly like this - nice enough to my dog but zero enthusiasm or real connection. at first i thought it was fine since she wasnt mean or anything but after few months it became really obvious how much my dog picked up on her indifference. dogs are pretty good at sensing who actually likes them vs who just tolerates them and mine definitely knew the difference
Agree on dogs being in tune with how someone feels about them and personally I wouldn’t want my dog feeling left out of the “pack”. I think that if it’s early in a relationship during the honeymoon phase, if they are just tolerating our dogs, soon it will become an issue in the relationship. I don’t think I could be with someone who didn’t have love for dogs and animals in general. My mother doesn’t love dogs but she shows and acts on motherly instincts with my two boys. Feeds them talks to them, happy to see them, cares for them. Thats the bar for me!
