We own a dog but I wonder why has this been flagged? As god owners me and my SO do realise that not all people love dogs and we tend to act accordingly: we've trained him so that he wouldn't do all sorts of not-ok stuff in a human-run society (it's better for a dog in this type of society to listen to your commands than not to listen), we clean after him after he does his stuff on the street etc.

Imo the same holds true for little kids, not everybody loves them (for good reason) hence why parents must be responsible in their relation between their small kids and the others.

Later edit: After reading the actual article (I know, I should have read it before leaving the first comment) it seems that the poor dogo has separation anxiety issue, again, a thing which me and SO actively tried to address since the very beginning (on the advice of our vet and the dog's trainer, among other people).

Also, the dog following the author around the house seems to be also anxiety-related and should have been addressed by the owner earlier on in the dog's life. It's nothing unsolvable (when it comes to the dog) but the problem is most probably with the owner (a nuance that can be caught from the article itself), if the owner doesn't actively want to solve that issue in his/her dog and if the owner doesn't work together with the dog under the supervision of professional help (let's say a dog trainer) then nothing much can be done about it. I very strongly believe that in these cases (and in the majority of the cases related to dog-ownership) the issues which are present are the fault of the owners, not of the dogs themselves.
