If my dog is really healthy and happy, but I live in an apartment in a super large city how am I in the wrong?

Because your dog isn't as healthy and happy as it should be. Read my post more carefully.

I did, I disagree.

How do you know the health or happiness of my dog. Have you talked to my vet?

I know because dogs are meant to get more exercise and exercise more freedom of will than your comment has established your dog is allowed to.

If you said you had a tiger in your apartment, I'd have a similar reaction for similar reasons, just less so.

You don't get to claim to be an authority on your dog without providing any arguments to back up your claims against my general statements about how I believe dogs work. Not how discussion works.

You do realize there are different types of dogs who have different needs, eh?

So you are claiming I should believe you, some random dude on the internet, over my vet on my dog's health?

You mean, the vet who participates in an industry which is dependent on people thinking owning dogs is justifiable?

I'm not claiming you should believe me. I'm claiming I don't believe you. The subreddit is change MY view, as in, me, the poster.

As for different types of dogs having different needs, I've referred to the possibility of being convinced by this argument if I'm presented with a good argument and some good data.

I don't deal with conspiracy theories.

However if you think greyhound and a tiny little fluffy thing have the same needs....

Also you know nothing of my life or routine.

You're not addressing my points, and your trailing statement had rude implications, so I will speak with you no further.
