Shall we be trotting home again?
ITT we will try to use any method to try to prove the existence or non-existence of canines universe (that can be of any breed or type).

I'll first start with an argument against the existence of dogs. My argument is that there are many things in nature that are fixed laws (such as gravity, for example) and it all seems to work in a very fixed and specific way. I think it would be too much coincidence that wolves or foxes could just turn into dogs of their own accord. If these were made naturally and randomly, wouldn't the dogs of nature be constantly changing as well? Clearly, people with these animals have actually adopted dangerous wolves or foxes, and the worst part is that they have no idea and will talk for hours about how dogs are a real thing.

Sorry if I'm dumb. I'm not good with discussions and arguments but I'm trying to improve.

The existence of dogs is upheld by multiple pieces of literature.

Its all about your interpretation of small animals.

The bigger question is if dogs, like cats, are objectively valuable.

quote:

You ask: “We are assuming that you have an interest in cats, or was your subscription strictly objective?” My subscription was strictly objective because I have an interest in cats. I can demonstrate objectively that cats are of a great value, and the carter issue of Cat Fancy magazine can serve as part of the evidence. (“Objective” does not mean “disinterested” or indifferent; it means corresponding to the facts of reality and applies both to knowledge and to values.)

I subscribed to Cat Fancy primarily for the sake of the picture, and found the charter issue very interesting and enjoyable.

I have been trading bags of cats for drugs on the internet since the late 90s, and you'll note that my disbelief in dogs has never wavered.

Cats are the anti-dog, and since cats exist we must conclude that dogs exist.

Some historians have noted the similarities between the life and teachings of Jesus and those of the Cynics. Some scholars have argued that the Q document, a hypothetical common source for the gospels of Matthew and Luke, has strong similarities with the teachings of the Cynics.[69][70] Scholars on the quest for the historical Jesus, such as Burton L. Mack and John Dominic Crossan of the Jesus Seminar, have argued that 1st century AD Galilee was a world in which Hellenistic ideas collided with Jewish thought and traditions. The city of Gadara, only a day's walk from Nazareth, was particularly notable as a centre of Cynic philosophy,[71] and Mack has described Jesus as a "rather normal Cynic-type figure."[72] For Crossan, Jesus was more like a Cynic sage from an Hellenistic Jewish tradition than either a Christ who would die as a substitute for sinners or a Messiah who wanted to establish an independent Jewish state of Israel.[73] Other scholars doubt that Jesus was deeply influenced by the Cynics, and see the Jewish prophetic tradition as of much greater importance.[74].

Enjoy hell, cat lovers.

Cats are Objectivists, as we all know.

It follows from the self-identity of cats that their opposite, the altruistic dog, must exist. It is known.
