“During the first half of the twentieth century, the Shepherd Dog came to be strongly identified with Imperial and Nazi Germany, as well as with many other masters in the colonial world. Through its transnational diffusion after World War I, the breed became a pervasive symbol of imperial aggression and racist exploitation. The 1930s Japanese empire subtly Japanized the dogs who became an icon of the Imperial Army. How could a cultural construct so closely associated with Germany come to represent many different colonial regimes? Using Imperial Japan as a case study, this paper argues that this symbolic pliability is a derivative of the high functionality, wide adaptation, and conspicuous nature of the Shepherd Dog as protector, deterrent, and enforcer of social control. As a visible intermediary in hierarchal relationships between different human groups, the Shepherd Dog became a powerful metaphor of Nazi and colonial memories through- out much of the world.”

A Mad Ass NiggaIdk but I find it weird how white people value animals over human life.
That most people around the world, not just "white people"
And that's because animals are seen as vulnerable and innocent compared to humans

Bourbon Benthe people trying to take that dog are trash. That dog is the only way the homeless person can protect their stuff usually.
The reason i often care more about dogs is I've seen people beat tf out of their dogs and shoot them for no reason or even f***ing light them on fire as I've fostered and volunteered at shelters for years. I get it from a regular person's perspective, but like I just can't do it based on those horrible experiences.
That’s fair, in your case it’s personal because you’re out there in the field and see first hand what be going on. I will say hats off to you for getting your hands dirty and doing what feels right in your heart. Even if we have different pov, keep doing good bro.
