What about DOGS don't you like?

My dog had no faults. I started brushing his teeth when he was young, and he was allowed to "beg", but he was actually very polite and cute. He would sit quietly and wait until he made eye contact, and then he would sit up on his haunches and raise one paw. His way of saying please.
He also learned to read, after a fashion. He would respond to certain symbols. A brilliant dog, and an absolute pleasure to have as my buddy. When we were hiking, I could point to a track and name critters, until he gave me the sign that I had named the right one. That nose was never wrong.
