This is absolutely not true

You and the top level parent commenter are confusing dogs with wolves

Saying a dog isn't good in human soceity is like Saying wheat or cattle aren't good for eating. They've been specifically bred to be so over thousands of years by us, specifically for these purposes.

Dog is truly man's best friend

If a dog doesn't trust a person I been believe the dog, if a person doesn't like dogs, I don't trust the person. I always trust the dog.

I can’t read the original comment that started this thread, but being bred to be consumed is not the standard of evidence needed to know whether that thing promotes positive or negative health outcomes.

We have this weird attitude in the last couple decades. There is this thought that the factory farms of the last few decades apply to and are the same thing as the gradual development of agriculture and animal husbandry that lead out species out of the animal world into the human one.

Agriculture, animal raising, these are what separate us from our ancestors, these are what enable civilization

Horses, cows, dogs, cats, other livestock. These animals have made us what we are, and us them. They and our modern civilization are inextricably tied.

None of this story-telling gets us closer to the answer to the question of how a given food in what quantities impacts our health to what degree and in which direction.

Thankfully we have a better epistemic technology than just-so stories: the scientific method.
