The American attitude towards dogs is not rational, and cannot easily be reconciled to the American attitude towards other animals

It is very easily explained. Dogs socialize with human beings better than any other animal. In fact, dogs socialize with humans better than most humans socialize with humans.

Pigs are so ugly, they're cute...and I'd be against torture and murder against pigs too....Put them down humanely if one must. But hanging, slicing them up alive, and all sorts of other things are barbarian.

I think I can explain WHY Americans and maybe everyone has an irrational love affair with dogs. Its BECAUSE no matter what THE DOG LOVES HIS OWNER. My dogs are completely loyal to me and my wife. Cant buy loyalty like that anywhere from anyone. jdn
