No shade on cats, but I do feel like leftist spaces are dominated by cat people. But I’ve always loved dogs.
Edit: Jesus Christ I just wanted to see some cute dog pics, now I’ve waken up to find I started a struggle session. Can y’all be normal???

Yes, big time dog person here. I currently share my life with four crazy, high energy dogs and it’s absolutely marvelous (if not a bit exhausting).
I went on a slightly unhinged rant on here the other day about how lefties ought to get on board with protection sports and the k9 world.
The dog world (in my particular dog sports of choice in my corner of the U.S. at least) in general skews conservative-to-fascist. I’m a member of multiple dog clubs/training groups/orgs and I am, thus far, the only person left of Obama that I know of. There are a few libs here and there, but most are pretty quiet about it. Since I share a mutual loathing for libs with the more conservative members of my dog groups, I use it as an opportunity to sprinkle leftist theory/talking points into our conversations.
Honestly, it’s pretty great. I get to hang out with dogs and build working class solidarity/develop class consciousness with people who otherwise would never encounter these ideologies.
I saw your post and I thought it was practically still on it’s hinges frankly.
I appreciate your point about reaching people who’d otherwise never be exposed to a class perspective but I don’t think I could go undercover, so to speak, like that. The protection stuff looks pretty intense to me, but I’d be happy if someday I get to train up a nice lil’ bird dog.
