Are there any dog stories where the dog doesn't die?

>>9846766
Woolf and Kafka's short stories.
Also the dog doesn't die in Bros K but if you're sensitive to that sort of thing at all I'd definitely steer clear. that dog does not have a good time.

Thomas Mann wrote a short stories translated either as "a man and his dog" or "bashan and I".
It's a great story about Mann's relationship with his dog.

Why the FUCK do people like these dogs? They have disgusting pig skin; nigger-tier aggression and bad temperament; and their solid, stocky build is just not as appealing as other dog breeds.

>>9848296
The thing is, most people don't choose their dogs on the grounds of how sexy they find them.

i feel like whoever is behind the marketing of that breed is an underrated business genius because people fucking LOVE those dogs even though they are vile beasts that can go bezerk and kills children and manlets at any moment, the democrats love to bitch about the nra and gun rights lobby, but i'd like to know who is the business interest that blocks legislation banning that breed, somebody trying to make their "investigative journalist" bones should do a book on it

This is objectively true. Dogs are terrible animals and useless pets.

People like them precisely because they are aggressive, they think it gives them "tough guy" status to walk around with such a dog.

/thread coming through here

TOP all time dog lit is 'Letters to Strongheart'. Forty some letters written to a dead dog. Strongheart was one of the first animal movie stars. Pre-Rin-Tin-Tin. He was a screen legend. In Brawn of the North there is a close-up in which Strongheart cries following the death of his master. Woe to the one who believes those weren't real tears. What deeper or more satisfying relationship can you imagine than one with a dead dog? Particularly a dead dog that you never met in real life? (I like dog stories, but please Mr. Steinbeck, no more travelogues with the poodle.)

None.

Cats are better than dogs.

Let me tell of you of the most beautiful story I know. A man was given a dog, which he loved very much. The dog went with him everywhere, but the man could not teach it to do anything useful. The dog would not fetch or point, it would not race or protect or stand watch. Instead the dog sat near him and regarded him, always with that same inscrutable expression. "That's not a dog, it's a wolf." said the man's wife. "He alone is faithful to me." said the man, and his wife never discussed it with him again. One day the man took his dog with him into his private airplane and as they flew over high winter mountains the engines failed and the airplane was torn to shreds among the trees. The man lay bleeding, his belly torn open by blades of sheared metal, steam rising from his organs in the cold air, but all he could think of was his faithful dog. Was he alive? Was he hurt? Imagine his relief when the dog came padding up and regarded him with that same steady gaze. After an hour the dog nosed the man's gaping abdomen, then began pulling out intestines and spleen and liver and gnawing on them, all while studing the man's face. "Thank God." said the man. "At least one of us will not starve."
