An op-ed published by the San Diego Union-Tribunecalling dogs "parasites" is Hollywood adult movies - watch for free and downloadgetting a pretty bad reaction online. That's probably because it's a terrible take.
The first half of Chris Reed's editorial -- titled "Let's be honest America: Dogs are parasites, not man's best friend" -- suggests that humans have doted on their dogs a little too aggressively. A fair point. The doggy spa services he references in the piece are probably wasted on our canine companions.

Dogs, Reed argues, are "parasites" conning humans into feeding and caring for them with their adorable antics. To make this incorrect point, Reed references Stephen Budiansky's 1999 Atlanticarticle"The Truth About Dogs," which argues that various canine manipulation tactics are to blame for our love of these furry deadbeats.
Dog Twitter was not pleased.
Shortly after Reed's op-ed went live, the Morris Animal Refuge in Philadelphia tweeted at the Union-Tribune, urging the publication to help find homes for adoptable dogs as penance.
"Sweet adoptable boy Comet has no idea that this piece is saying he's a parasite," the tweet from Morris Animal Refuge reads. "So he's just happily grinning his big goofy grin at you, @sdutIdeas. The least you can do is RT to help him find a loving home!"

It seems Reed knew the negative attention was coming.
"Over-under on when I'll get my first angry Twitter response over this column: In eight minutes," Reed tweeted.

And angry responses he did receive.
Dog lovers took to Twitter to defend their good boys and girls and to express their anger and dismay over the column.

Sure, dogs probably areparasites, but only in the same way that avocados are a fruit. No one cares, and it doesn't matter.
If every parasite was a dog, the world would be a better place in my humble opinion. And if you have the chance, snuggle up with your favorite parasite this weekend and let them con you into a happier state of being.
