One of my favorite things is a perfectly trained dog completely loyal to its master. The master just walks around doing their thing and the dog keeps up. No commands, no hassle. The dog just knows what to do.
The problem is the level of commitment required to get to that point is too much for me. And even if you got to that point, you simply can't get around the grossness part any way you slice it.
Therefore I just let me friends have dogs and I enjoy them in small doses.

Yes. You summed it up nicely. I have more or less the same position on it. Dogs are fine, the commitment and gross factors are a lot to take on though.
Smaller doses are easier to take with any kind of pet. Even my cat who has the best cat personality you could imagine can wear me out between being needy and the hair and saliva.
