Would you be in a relationship with someone who hates dogs/animals?

Question

I'm a 22 year old guy and I love animals, especally my dog, he's like family to me, a big baby and I would be devistated if something happened to him, he's a yellow labrador. 

Anyways I met this girl in college, and we got along fine, and one day I brough her to my house and when she saw my dog she was like "You have a dog, eww I hate dogs" 

and when I asked her about it she said that she does not like dogs or cats or animals in general. She finds them annoying and a pest and she does not understand why people like me like dogs and especially treat them like family and cuddle them with kisses and hungs and stuff. 

TO be honest this really bothered me and every girl I have been in a relationship before always loved dogs and they would get so happy and exited when they saw my dog. Like it REALLY bothers me that she feels this way but I feel bad because we get along. But like how can I possibly have a serious relationship future with someone who hates or dislikes someone whos important in my life like my dog. 

So dog, cat or animals lovers, would you be in relationship with someone who hates/dislikes pets/animals?

I couldn't be with someone who hated animals. Especially if they hated my animals. My dogs are my babies and they are super important to me. I could never stay with someone who was 'ew' about my family and my dogs are my family. I could never marry someone who hated animals. I would compromise, say someone was more of a cat person for instance? But definitely not someone who hated animals. Animals are important and I think it shows someone's true character if they don't like innocent animals. Like what's wrong with them?

Not in a million years! Not if he was the last man on the planet!

It's one thing to not have dogs be your favorite animal. Personally, I'm a huge animal lover, but I think anything up to indifference is fine. But to not like any animal at all and consider them irritating would raise a major red flag with me. Have you asked her why she finds animals annoying?

Personally, I think such people are cold and heartless and seriously lacking in empathy. Highly suspicious.

I'm not a pet person anyways so yeah BUT it's stupid to hate on animals, it's okay if you're not into having one as a pet, but unreasonably hate animals? Huh it's kinda shady tbh.

I don't think I would. I just doubt that I'd click with somebody who didn't have a soft spot for a good dog or a good cat. (I'm not talking about the little, prissy foo-foo dogs. They're just annoying.) But for a dog like yours, there's nothing quite like a good solid dog.

I don't think I could. I love animals. I want a dog and 2 cats.

CHARismatic110 · Answer

I'm not an animal lover, but I also don't hate them. I'm afraid of them. Especially dogs. And when I tell people that they usually just brush it off and or get defensive about it. It's like not every person that isn't animal person is a person that harms them. I don't like to see harm done to them either. But I don't see myself every owning any.

Cmasterson · Answer

Absolutely not, I myself have dogs-- so if they hate them then BYE! Dogs usually have a good sense of people and I trust them more than I do trust some people actually.

FilthyPervert · Answer

gilmoredes · Answer

You met Satan in college? That's pretty awesome. My boyfriend at first wasn't ok with my cat and I told him if he didn't get over it I would dump him, they're now best friends.

fauchelevent · Answer

If they hated dogs, I could deal with it, even though I love dogs so much. But if they hated all animals, then no, definitely not.

desidoll · Answer

No, especially dogs. I just love them so much. I rather stay away from guys who dislike dogs though he has all the potentials to be my SO.

AhGojira · Answer

Dogs are amazing. No body could hate my dog... If they feared dogs, they'd see differently after being around me and my dog that is even more goofy than me.

Prettygurl12 · Answer

Pft. No. I have a dog, two cats, and two horses.  If you date me you become the parent to my furry creatures.

Mesonfielde · Answer

I would never date a person who explicitly hates dogs. You have to be at least "okay" with dogs, or you're off the list.

ChaosKilledTheDinos · Answer

I would have a hard time being with someone who actively hated animals

Imafreespirit · Answer

laurapalmer · Answer

I would be able to handle it. Until I wanted to get a dog of my own lol

elyska19 · Answer

No, everyone I've met who hate animals have this superiority complex and I don't like them.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Yeah it would be fairly hard for me be in a relationship with someone who didn't like animals at all.

AzureGirl · Answer

Probably not considering I want to adopt a dog in the future.

kylah · Answer

Nope nope no, I need him to love animals just as much as me.

Anonymous · Answer

I do not hate animals but I do not want to take care of a pet that I have no time to take care of. It's the dumb people who get pets knowing that they can not take care of it

Dinosaursandanime65 · Answer

No, Pretzel and the other two come first. But my mom said when I move out one day, I can take Pretzel with me.

Kylesar · Answer

As if I'd ever date a girl who wants me to get rid of my pet

WhaChaChaKing · Answer

I would never be with someone that didn't love animals, that's just weird.
