Yep. Definitely a kind of dog who'd visit a local school, give a lecture, buy a couple of sandwiches and then take an uber home.

It is weird to me how naked my dog looks after her bath when she doesn't have a collar on. Scandalous neck floof!

u/Hardwiredbrain Jun 16 '21
Same. Our dog feels very uncomfortable when we remove the collar. After bath she will carry the collar in her mouth until someone puts it back.
88
u/construktz Jun 16 '21
Yeah ours stare down wherever we put their collars and look uneasy. Then when we hold them out they try to run back and push their heads into them.
It's funny and it's as if they are very protective of their limited personal posessions.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '21
That's so crazy to me; I've never owned a dog but my late cat successfully got collars banned forever when he nearly hanged himself with a "breakaway" collar because he hated them so much. Dogs seem so much more chill in comparison when I hear stories like this.
27
u/alianna68 Jun 16 '21
My cat no longer wears a collar because she fairly quickly figured out how to break out of “breakaway collars”. At first it took her a while and we’d only know when we realized she was no longer wearing her collar, but after a while she’d just take it off as soon as we put it on.... and then run away.
It’s a good thing she is an indoor cat.
27
u/MBechzzz Jun 16 '21
We used to put a breakaway on my old outdoorcat, but she kept coming home without it. One day I followed her to see where she was going, and I found a hedge she'd walk through with 5 collars laying about.
14
u/[deleted] Jun 16 '21
Yeah, my cat was indoor only and chipped; that made it easier to just cede that he'd won the collar war, lol. He'd repeatedly escaped the collar before, but the last time I saw him in the act, he caught the collar on the edge of the desk, thinking his weight would snap it off as usual but it didn't. Luckily, I was home and saved him, then immediately gave up on "breakaways".
24
u/happybunnyntx Jun 16 '21
One of our dogs hated collars so much that she scratched hers until it finally tore and refused a new one. Our other collar-wearing dog also refused his, out of solidarity I guess? Then as she got older the new pups that came in assumed they should have no collar too so it became the norm for all dogs in the house. We took in my cousin's dog who wore one, then one day after a bath she refused to put it back on. So here we are years after the original dog passed and the new dogs will not wear collars unless they absolutely have to. Though they're fine with harnesses or bandanas, collars are an absolute no.

u/25hourenergy Jun 16 '21
Depends on the individual I think. My two cats both seem to get uncomfortable without their breakaway collars (both indoor cats but since we move frequently it’s to help identify them in case they run off in an unfamiliar place, had them on since probably 4 months) and if they come off while they’re wrestling with each other, they’ll either carry them in their mouth until they find me, or they sit next to it meowing. I am glad I found ones that seem to break away very easily versus what you described.

u/harry-package Jun 16 '21
She’s not the final owner who will have the service dog. Guide dogs go through several levels of training as they progress through the program & can live with different families to give them different experiences/training.
Also, guide dogs are also extremely smart, well-behaved, beloved pets & the blind often have a wide support system to help them. Those support people almost always love the guide dogs as well & would be ecstatic to see pictures like this.

I also wondered that, but she could be partially sighted. Also, blind people can appreciate having a photo to display for others to see. Blind people hang pictures and care about how their house looks, even though they never see it.

u/PokemommaX Jun 16 '21
Thank you. This is the correct answer. Blind people aren't completely oblivious of the seeing world and find ways to enjoy it and fit in. My husband's cousin was born without eyes and he still watches movies and plays games and appreciates them, in a way I barely understand because sight is so important to me but completely foreign to him. A dog wearing a tie is amusing to anybody, as it isn't normal. Even blind people can appreciate the humor in abnormalities.

Friend of mine trains them, they foster out the puppies to be trained then take them back afterwards. He can see fine and it's his guide dog in training until it grows up and completes the training.
He brings them all in to work to get practice doing every day tasks. It's the worst because you aren't allowed to look at them or interact with them when they are wearing the jacket, and you really want to. Which is why i'm surprised this dog is wearing a tie and being photographed with the jacket on.
