I've heard a farmer, hunter and even that kid in Riverwood say "Stupid dog." when anywhere near a dog at this point.

That's not how you talk to your kids?

Its just a generic line of dialoug

PS OP, what is your profile pic?

Maybe they have the same problem we all do when there is a dog around and your trying to loot things. Press the button right when they come up behind you and cha-ching you just picked up an embalming tool instead of that ruby. Barbas.....stupid dog.

They are food in Skyrim & maybe they are not domesticated?

His avatar is an Imga. They are a beast race native to Valenwood that pretty much worship the Altmer.

Maybe dogs have fur growing out of their ears or drink milk rather than mead?

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they never. stop. barking....

WOOF, WOOF!
WOOF, WOOF!
WOOF, WOOF!
WOOF, WOOF!
WOOF, WOOF!
WOOF, WO-

I met a dog that said some really intelligent things like, "Why don't Khajiit chase me?" and then went on to say, "You, cat face, should be getting chased."

He makes them look bad.

Yes. He also said he was from Yokuda and was a vampire dog... I was doing skooma at the time. Moon sugar, that is.

Death Hounds don't bark. Plus, they're bad ass looking. Can't wait until i can transfer my Dawnguard save over to my PC, and give Garmr some Armor Rating and set him to Essential.
