OH MY GOD. If I ever turned into a dognapper I would take yours first.

That sounded much more like a compliment in my head.

[–]dkdl 16 points17 points ago

I got dibs on the cat.

[–]HugTheRetard 35 points36 points ago

guess that leaves the girl for me

[–]HarmonyChains 1 point2 points ago

Coming from the girl, I'll tell you, I laughed, but, no it doesn't.

[–]HugTheRetard 2 points3 points ago

.....is your name sam? I'm pretty sure I know you haha

[–]BoboForShort 9 points10 points ago

Actually she's a friend of mine. This is awkward. Small world.

[–]Vegeta_is_king_ 6 points7 points ago

Hahaha no. Friggin. Way. That's crazy. Small world. Well tell Sam that mike says hi

[–]theodrixx 6 points7 points ago

Wow, this is the first time I've seen this kind of thing actually pan out.

[–]Vegeta_is_king_ 0 points1 point ago

you can see my confusion for why i thought you were my friend Sam. sorry for the false alarm everyone. http://imgur.com/JynEv

[–]HarmonyChains 0 points1 point ago

Whoa.

[–]Kan785 2 points3 points ago

Wow yours is a lot bigger than mine! Mine is only about 45 pounds and is barely taller than our cocker spaniel.

[–]DeadStillWalk 5 points6 points ago

Out of context this would be an absolute gem.

[–]ThatIndianGuy7116 3 points4 points ago

Exactly what I was thinking. I really want to put this on /r/nocontext

[–]AliciaLeone 1 point2 points ago

Do it

[–]AliciaLeone 0 points1 point ago

Aw, how cute! He is definitely bigger than the pic op posted, haha.

[–]Quantum_Finger 10 points11 points ago

Wow, you may have inadvertently helped me figure out what my dog actually is. I got him from a rescue shelter, never knew his breed.

[–]AliciaLeone 0 points1 point ago

Awesome! Does he look more retriever or spaniel?

[–]Quantum_Finger 0 points1 point ago

Well, he's definitely a mixed breed. Though I think he looks more retriever than spaniel. Here's a pic of him. He's fully grown.

[–]im_too_literal 12 points13 points ago

There's a wide variety of Golden Cocker Retrievers since they're crosses. Some take after the retriever more than the spaniel and others vice versa.

[–]AliciaLeone 0 points1 point ago

Yup, I like both

[–]dudeitsnatasha 21 points22 points ago

Still adorable.

[–]BumbleBadger 7 points8 points ago

WHY IS THE DOG JUDGING ME EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THE SECOND PICTURE?!

[–]dudeitsnatasha -2 points-1 points ago

Judging dog is judging.

[–]AliciaLeone 0 points1 point ago

Oh I agree completely.

[–]shrillsauce 4 points5 points ago

Stop killing my dreams.

[–]AliciaLeone 0 points1 point ago

I am a terrible person :(

[–]LittleToast 91 points92 points ago

Yep, that is most definitely a puppy.

[–]NedMueller 20 points21 points ago

The paw size to body ratio is a dead giveaway.

[–]LittleToast 9 points10 points ago

Maybe I've just been around enough dogs and puppies, but it just looks nothing like an adult dog to me. It's got puppy written all over it.

[–]ZommoZ 197 points198 points ago

A simple Google search shows that you just stole a mislabeled picture of a puppy off of Pintrest.

[–]lolagabriella 21 points22 points ago

I just saw it on tumblr as well. People are dumb and don't google things.

[–]pink_play-doh 21 points22 points ago

WE DON'T WANT FACT CHECKERS ON REDDIT.

[–]OmegaSeven 18 points19 points ago

I think this statement needs fact checking.

[–]TigerGoddess 1 point2 points ago

YES WE DO! Saves others the time of having to do it themselves! ;D

The picture is adorable, and made me happy.

[–]HraLuoma 17 points18 points ago

Nope. That's a pup. Here's the full gallery including more recent pics of him.

[–]investinbananas 31 points32 points ago

F for effort.

[–]iamtorontobound 11 points12 points ago

Umm....no it isn't.

[–]Kan785 33 points34 points ago

This is my fully-grown Golden Cocker Retriever. She's almost 4 now, and is as much of a puppy as ever. We left a little tuft on the top of her head when we groomed her haha it was so cute.

[–]jcopzzz 2 points3 points ago

RnsjDnejsoxnfbssk I'm dying at all these pictures of everyone's golden cocker retrievers they are so adorable

[–]OhBeAFineGirlKissMe 0 points1 point ago

Your dog looks IDENTICAL to my dog. Maybe my dog isn't really a cocker spaniel...

[–]blacktoise 0 points1 point ago

No a cocker spaniel looks like a curly haired and single-colored one of these. with a stubbier nose.

[–]hennyfurlopez 6 points7 points ago

Would I be wrong if I called it a "Golden Cock Retriever"? That's how I read it anyways. ^

[–]Kan785 2 points3 points ago

I have a female mix and I call her a "Cock Retriever". If she were a male, I would call her a "Golden Cock". I'm with ya haha

I'm a bit shocked that a post is being upvoted so much for calling the OP a fag. Sometimes I think reddit is better than this, then I remember, no, no it's not.

[–]thebusishalfempty -4 points-3 points ago

Reddit used to be better than this. Even half a year ago it was better than this. Calling anyone a faggot wasn't tolerated. Unfortunately it seems we've had an influx of immature 4chan kids. Sad.

[–]MegaMutant -1 points0 points ago

It is upsetting that you amongst others feel this way. Obviously you have never really taken the time to go through and look at 4chan. Reddit is very similar in many ways to 4chan. When you visit 4chan you are given many broad links from technology to fashion advice. It is very much in the same style as Reddit. Someone starts a thread about a topic and then others can reply. Although 4chan is a lot less moderated than most Reddit communities. Although there is the exception with /b/ which is what you are most likely referring too. /b/ is a board where anything and everything goes. It is also moderated like the other boards, albeit not as strictly. Also /b/ and a few other boards have an 18+ age limit. The average age of someone on 4chan in general should technically be much higher on average due to the amount of adult content. I can assure you that Reddit is not seeing an influx of immature kids from 4chan. If you look at ChrisH117's history you can see he is in no way trying to purposely hurt the original poster. He, like most people have an understanding of what the community wants to see, jokes. If you haven't visited 4chan before I can assure you that if you go there with an actual purpose to partake in the community such as /g/ (technology) or others you will see that people tend to have conversations much like those seen in r/technology.

You also say "Reddit used to be better than this", now your account says you have only been here for 7 months. I can only hope that like a majority of redditors you have multiple accounts (or just lurked for a while). Otherwise you actually have no stance on how reddit used to be (other than a few months back). Its almost feels like a meme when someone says that a website used to be better, because it is said so much. People have been saying this about reddit since way before you joined.

It was never not tolerated to call someone a faggot, when they meant it as a insult (I mean a real insult, as in trying to upset someone). Its just social norms that we here on reddit adhered to both the written rules of reddit, and rules set in place by our peers. When a post gets way out of hand, that's when you use the report button (which I honestly hope people use when someone is honestly breaking the rules). Most of us can understand the difference between an act of aggression and a joke. Some people honestly might not be, and that is when someone can politely tell them that. Rather we have seen an influx of self righteous people that feel that it is their sole job to judge others. I apologize, but I have looked through your comment history and noticed that you too tend to be aggressive towards people here. I am not saying it is wrong to call someone out if they know they did something wrong. This is the internet though, and we talk using text. This makes it extremely hard in some situations to gauge the attitude of others. Especially with all of the different skill levels of writing. A single misplaced word or comma can completely change the meaning of a sentence.

I can understand where brown2hm is coming from though. Reddit tends to to be a more family friendly site. It is especially weird to see a post like this receive so many upvotes in a subreddit like r/aww. This is the internet though, you have to understand that people are aloud to govern their own content (for the most part). Reddit like most internet sites nowadays are built on user generated content. This means that even if it should be child friendly, it is not required. Your comment though added little to the discussion. In the end all you did was insult the 4chan community, without reason.

Two last things. Firstly I could definitely go back a few years and still find post like the one from ChrisH117. Reddit is a website by users for users. Things people like or find interesting are upvoted. Things people dislike are downvoted. We are not perfect. Trolls have been upvoted thousands of times, making the front page. All the same we have seen people group up and textually attack innocent people over a misunderstanding. I really have no idea where I was going with this I just got bored.

[–]blacktoise 2 points3 points ago

No one will read this.

[–]MegaMutant 0 points1 point ago

That is fine, I just was trying to distract myself from some work that I had to do. No harm done.

[–]RudeButHonestDude -1 points0 points ago

FUCK YOU AND FUCK 4CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]MegaMutant 0 points1 point ago

Ok, that's fine. That 5 hour old account is pretty intimidating.

[–]Nightfalls -2 points-1 points ago

SRS is partially to blame for some of this, though. They've been overreacting to jokes, especially to ones that are actually funny, so much lately, the backlash is becoming hideous.

[–]bradsh 0 points1 point ago

[–]lyss0917 4 points5 points ago

Actually it looks more like this

[–]ChunkBunny 7 points8 points ago

I don't know why, but that dog just reminds me of a dirty old hooker.

[–]G8r 1 point2 points ago

This one?

What, too old?

[–]ThisGuyIsOnAMobile 0 points1 point ago

Could we make ridiculously misleading titles like this a bannable offense?

[–]ViciousPuddin 1 point2 points ago

wrong wrong wrong. Also, don't buy designer breeds; they're made by assholes.

[–]bestmarty 0 points1 point ago

Ya Ya Ya OP is a faggot and a dumbass blah blah blah

Doesn't change the fact that, THAT PUPPY IS FUCKING ADORABLE!!!!!!!

[–]smallhound 0 points1 point ago

Here comes the newest fad in dog breeding, move over golden doodle. Someone was telling me about this breed and thinking of importing one from 10+ hours away.. At least this one's name sounds less like a snack cake or something.

[–]ragglered 1 point2 points ago

They can retain some puppy qualities into adulthood though. This is a customers dog PJ, at about a year old. As you can see he is not short and by then weighed about 50lbs, but he still has over sized paws and fluffy ears.

[–]Lateraltech 0 points1 point ago

I have one of these dogs, but I call him a Golden Spaniel because I get made fun of too much when I say "Cocker Retriever"... first words out of any of my friends mouths - "Cock Retriever"

And yes that is a puppy, not a fully grown dog.

[–]FaceOff51 -1 points0 points ago

Op is a full grown cock-googler

[–]AdamBake -2 points-1 points ago

i have never wanted a dog so much in my life.
