Not sure about that Xirrpy.
Dogs love to please, and love companionship.
I am fairly sure they would rather be with a good kind owner all day, doing little jobs and getting rewarded, than sitting in an empty flat, alone and staring at a brick wall every day, or chained to a kennel outside.

Yea my little dodgo aint too bright. Took days to teach her to go through a cat flap. Id explain the concept and demonstrate but each time she'd look at me and shake her head. I tried everything bar squeezing myself through.
Now she dives through smoking a ciggy

Re: Is it cruel to train and use guide dogs
Our Collie, who looked like a sheep dog but probably wasn't pure bred, used to ignore sheep, could take her on the moor & she would just stroll through a herd of them, the sheep just moved out of the way, but show her a couple of toddlers & they'd be in a corner & being guarded before you could tell her not to. I have to tell my friends with little kids not to bring them.
