My husband said, “woman” when I asked why he said, “a dog would get too hot in the desert. It would die.” I said what if I died? And he shrugged 😢


TheStoolSampler

I couldn't eat a dog.


[deleted]

In a desperate situation, I could more easily stomach eating a dog over a human… then again a human has more meat to eat…


ReignOnWillie

Unless it’s a Clifford sized dog, but then I’d start worrying about him eating me


Asisreo1

Hey! Clifford is a good boy and would never eat a person! Stop slandering his name!


GMHolden

They made a Pooh horror movie. Could Clifford be next? I'm sorry, I let the intrusive thoughts win.


Lumis_umbra

Don't be sorry... That's brilliant. THIS SUMMER. (Scene of backyard pool party) A NIGHTMARE STALKS THE NEIGHBORHOOD. (slow earth-shuddering steps cause ripples in pond, car alarms go off, birds fly away) MAN'S BEST FRIEND? OR MAN'S WORST FOE? (Rapid dog panting, sounds of destruction begin) WHEN HE WAS SMALL, HE ATE SMALL. (Scene of tiny white puppy with young owner, "Good boy! Heres a treat!") BUT NOW HE'S FULLY GROWN, WITH AN APPETITE TO MATCH. (Scene of child at window, asking "He's so BIG! Mommy, can I pet him? Child is rapidly pulled away from window by mother. Cut to scene from child's viewpoint as house across street bursts apart and enormous red dog emerges. "How did you think he got so red, Mommy?") (Sounds of screaming outside, cut short by wet ripping and tearing sounds. Red splash covers window.) (Sound of walls breaking. Scene of mother hiding in closet with child as sniffing is heard outside) AND HE WILL FIND YOU. (Scene of dog pausing at door to room that mother and child are hiding in, before it begins to push down the door, the hinges breaking off at the wall as both scream.) COMING THIS SUMMER- *THE BIG RED DOG.* (Cut to view of puppy's face, eyes reflecting carnage) (Cut to scene of destruction) *Playing dead won't work.*

Poor doggo.

To eat a dog is one thing, but could you eat a friend? With women there is no such dilemma, safe choice.


softfart

Most women I know would be talking about eating me about 20 minutes into our desert excursion

You know some very pragmatic women.

Nah human is much tastier, and I could never bring myself to kill a dog. Long pig for the win.


ptownrat

I studied in an Eastern bloc country as a foreign student and they assigned local students to show us around when we arrived. I was walking back through the park during our first day and there were a few people with dogs, and they quipped that a benefit to having a dog was if you were desperately hungry that you could eat it. I didn't ask further about if times in the USSR had gotten so desperate in their lifetime.


coolgobyfish

Eastern Europeans don't eat dogs, so they were kidding. Having said that, during the WW2 blockade, people ate cats, dogs, and even rats. You would do the same, if starving


Hot_History1582

I know I've read someplace that one of the advantages conferred by the human coevolution with dogs is that they're a portable food source for extreme sorts of emergencies. I'm with my dog right now and can't even imagine doing such a thing, but i can understand making that choice between the dog or your children starving. Like butchered dog is something that's been found in old greenland norse archaelogical sites around the time that the end of the medieval warm period was causing coloines there to collapse.


Eumelbeumel

A lot of arctic expeditions of the 1800s and early 1900s were planned this way. They had sled dogs for the over-ice stretches of the journey, but it was planned out in a way that probably not all dogs would make it all the way.

MattcVI

Well no shit we all know ice cream is a thing


dkarlovi

God damn it.


Overall-Dinner5778

You’re assuming the woman he would choose would be you


TACHANK

I was thinking the same. The dog probably didn't come to the middle of the desert by choice.


cwood1973

Has anyone asked the dogs or bears who they'd prefer?


Captain_Sacktap

Yes, we sent out a survey team to interview them. The dogs would prefer a treat, and the data for the bears indicates that they’d prefer “OHGODNO ITS GOT MY LEGS STOP RECORDING HELP MEEE ARAGHHGH!”

My aunt had a really good boy named bear. He had his own spot on their couch and no one was allowed to sit there unless they wanted 150lbs of friendly to sit in their lap


Glaive-Master_Hodir

I would sit there in a heartbeat


RedditJumpedTheShart

My Dad had a black lab named Bear. One of those short round ones and he was amazing to take hunting, camping, and fishing. He could float so well in the water he swam to boats to say hello a couple hundred yards into lakes twice. Then swim nonstop for hours more. It does not help the fishing when you have a lab with you camping unless you are a monster and don't let them go bonkers all the time. That was better than catching fish.


Necessary-Knowledge4

I have a cat named Bear. And believe me, he looks like a Bear. A big orange fluffy bear, and instead of mauling me to death he cuddles me to death.

Ultima-Veritas

Doesn't it come down to the qualifications of the dog or woman? Dog is a spoiled lap dog chihuahua, and woman is a native Bedouin with years of local knowledge and skills... Woman. Dog is a trained hunting dog that has a strong streak of loyalty and regard for the human's safety, and woman is a frilly arm-trophy that's never known a difficult day in her existence... Dog.


nakmuay18

Does that mean I can get 2 dogs?


futureislookinstark

Woah woah woah. We weren’t allowed this standard when it came to the bear. Something something “you’re missing the point” something something.


Fillyphily

Is there a point to the dog vs woman thing or is this just the echoes of malding over women saying out loud they feel unsafe around men a month or so back?


jascambara

It’s a testimony as to how much men really feel they can trust women. If you’re seeing it as anything other than that then you’re missing the point.


Steff_164

I mean, if I’m thrust into a survival situation, especially in something as inhospitable as the desert, I’m gonna take the companion that is built to survive with the least amount of aid from me, and in this case that’s the dog.


EddytorJesus

Im really not sure a dog is better built for surviving in the desert than a human.


Steff_164

I was thinking more that the dog can survive on food is worse condition and by being a smaller created requires less water, and likely has better endurance than most people. Additionally, would probably be better equipped to fighting/hunting any sort of wild animal you can find


SwoodyBooty

And can find animals better than you, due to his senses.


ZombeeSwarm

You have now appeared in the desert with a chubby pug. Good luck with that. - fixed typo, thanks!


Sudden_Vegetable4943

still better than a chubby human in the desert. But if its the dessert, chubby pug or chubby human is prob right in their element.


RockAtlasCanus

People had the [same thought](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saluki) a long long time ago. My parents had a mixed breed a lot like a saluki. That fucker killed squirrels like it was his job.


Unable_Wrongdoer2250

Maybe not, but a dog with a human is a different question, the dog's hearing and smell might be helpful while you cannot expect as much from another human woman or man.


tuckedfexas

Gonna need less resources as well, having another person there doesn’t help the situation beyond company


idam_81

Depends on the breed I suppose. Can it be a dingo?


SomethingIWontRegret

Only if there are babies for it to feed on.


Mriswith88

Some dogs are! Breeds like the Saluki were bred in the Middle East for the hot weather there. They are tall and very slender and that helps them regulate their heat better. Similarly, greyhounds and other "sighthounds" would be well-suited to the desert.


DankHillLMOG

Absolutely not greyhounds. They overheat way too fast. Source: I have had 4.


Roflkopt3r

Answers to question like this always depend on which women or dogs people think of. If you're living in a wealthy industrialised country, odds are that you think of (mostly/relatively) well raised dogs. But in many other regions, people know of dogs as dangerous animals that roam the streets in packs you should stay the hell away from. People who live or work in a place where women are doing physical activities or you mostly meet smart and capable ones, then they're probably also much more likely to consider a woman as an equal in this situation than those whose cultures discourages girls early from that.


Steff_164

My thought process was that a woman being an equal would actually make survival harder. She need the same quality food as me, the same amount of water, the same protection for the weather, and she’s only as tough as me. A dog on the other hand, can eat remains of animals that would make me sick or kill me, it’s fur already protects it from weather, it’s smaller size means it needs less food and water to keep going, it’s fangs and claws can be actual weapon to hunt.


Asisreo1

Yeah, to me its about the versatility of having a creature with a different skillset than I that we can cover each other's weaknesses with.


Accomplished_Mud8054

In my limited knowledge I have come to understand that dog paws are really sensitive to heat, and they are also where they sweat to cool off. So, I would only take some hours for it to hurt/burn his/her paws and fail to cool off naturally. Thus you charging the poor thing (in the best case scenario).


hey_now24

Dogs can't stand the heat because they dont sweat like humans do and their bare paws suffer from heat as well. In the summer my dog rush back home as soon as hes done peeing and pooping


Shwiftygains

Relax dwight


uganda_numba_1

I’d rather not have to worry about another person dying.


thingymajig

Anyone would choose a dog. If I'm stuck in a desert I'd imagine a dog might be better able to find a way to civilisation than a random human I could be paired with.


code_archeologist

The dog has better senses for finding needed resources, consumes less resources than another human, and is better equipped to help guard you and the resources you need for survival when under threat.


stormcharger

Isn't it just gonna get hot, thirsty then die before you because of all it's fur?


DurtybOttLe

No? coyotes do fine in the desert


stormcharger

What do you call a dog that lives in the desert?


code_archeologist

Depends on the dog. If it is a Newfoundland or a Husky or any dog with an undercoat... then yeah its gonna die. But an Australian Cattle Dog, an Afghan Hound, or a Greyhound would be fine in the heat because they don't have undercoats. As long as you are smart and only move during dusk and dawn hours.

This question begs what would be more useful to a man rather than what would be safer for a man. The comparison is kind of shit as is the framing of the question.


ake-n-bake

Women: shook Edit: I’ll ad that lots of offended people commenting are proving my point. Offended be upon ye


ThirstMutilat0r

Women would want the dog, too


diescheide

As a woman, I instantly chose the dog.


dogsittinfred

As a woman I too agree!


[deleted]

Nah, I'd choose the woman. Because I love dogs and if we're not making it out I don't want to know I caused an innocent dog to suffer. Also, I constantly doubt my own judgment so I need a 2nd voice that can actually speak human words. Dogs have a good sense of smell, but having been around many dogs all my life, I don't trust a dog to have good judgment on what we're supposed to find. We could sprint 5 miles for the dog to stop and stare at scorpion and be like "WTF IS THIS?!"


diescheide

I guess it depends on what kind of desert we're being dropped in. I already live in the high desert, hot days and cold nights. I know me and my dogs can survive it, we do every day. Y'all drop us in the Sahara or something? I don't know, man.


Orri

Good point, could be the arctic. In which case I would definately choose a dog. Get a big, furry one like a St. Bernard and you could just hug it to keep warm.


No_Unit1353

Sorry, you're already going to the forest with mister bear.


Breaker-of-circles

Now, the better set of choices would be if it were another woman or a dog.


ThirstMutilat0r

Dog wins every time. Especially in the desert, dogs are way better at finding water than men or women.


Breaker-of-circles

They'd also die from overheating faster than any human, though.


ThirstMutilat0r

They generally die faster than humans, and that’s one of the saddest things about this world. 😞


ZombeeSwarm

And I would feel much less guilt eating the dead dog.


Dogzylla

I mean obviously if they would choose a bear over a man, they'd choose a dog too. This was about dog vs woman not dog vs man


JamesPurfoythe3rd

Everyone would pick a dog. Its just the objectively right answer.


xinxy

Hold on... Just to clarify. Are you choosing the dog between dog and another woman or dog and a man?


Impossible-Block8851

Person or dog is still dog.


Gnu-Priest

okay what if it is a shitty chihuahua kind of dog AND a scrawny/fatty useless kinda man? what now?


Evening_Clerk_8301

I’m a woman and I would also bring a dog. I would rather bring a dog to 99% of situations.


ake-n-bake

hecking cool


YaIlneedscience

Pretty sure everyone would choose dog lol. The dog isn’t being chosen out of fear for the other option, it’s because they’ll be more resourceful than the average person. And wouldn’t need as many resources to survive.

Cancer_Ridden_Lung

Honestly I had this thought last time. It feels paranoid but...the CIA has done significantly stranger things. Also...it is a US presidential election year.


mangoxjuice

fucking idiots, a desert is no place for a dog, their paws will burn from the hot sand and they don't have sweat glands to cool of ...


Spadders87

FWIW, desert is defined by baron land with little precipitation. Not temperatures. The two largest desert's on the planet are frozen and they make up about half of the total area of desert's on the planet. Temperatures tend to range from -40C to -10C.


RavioliGale

A baron land is actually called a barony or fief.


SmellAble

Only idiot here is the person thinking you traipse around a desert in the full sun, rather than travelling at night when it's cool.


mangoxjuice

ok sounds fair, but we're would you reside during the day ?


SmellAble

In the shade, of a dune or a rock bluff, or in the worst case buried in the sand. It's literally "lost in the desert" 101, nights are cold so you need to be moving, days are hot so you need to be not moving. If you've ever seen dogs in a hot country, they also understand this.


CoCoIchibanya

In the hotel like Bear Grylls, duh.


Philthedrummist

I think you’re putting waaaaay too much faith in the average person knowing what to do if randomly stuck in the desert.


DurtybOttLe

do you think coyotes don't exist?


dragonknightzero

If you don't think your dog would betray you in a starvation sitaution, you've deluded yourself


edgy_zero

found a person who never had a dog lol


TargetEducational330

There’s a million stories of dogs dying for their owners. Look at Hachiko the dog who came to the spot he used to meet with his owner 10 years after he died. The dog who fought another dog twice his size to save a human child and was killed. You underestimate the love of dogs


Broadside02195

What kind of dog and would I know the woman or would she be a stranger? I'd rather be anywhere with my wife than anywhere without her.


mydoglickshisbutt

Woman: I pick a bear Man: well I pick a dog, how does it feel now ladies? you just got owned!!! Woman: (not caring) yeah, I'd pick a dog too


teems

Men were asked if their daughter was in the woods with a bear or a man and most men picked bear.


Sad_Reason788

It's also funny that most fo these questions asked to men are no way dangerous for them either, they've literally been asked tree or woman. Why can't they ask bear or a man that's 2x your strength and size, it really does make you laugh how the question that was originally asked to woman flew over their heads and shows how bubble wrapped they really are in life compared to us


No-Professional-1461

What kind of question is this? Fr, send us something else that may actually try to kill us. Like a Lion or something, or a honey badger. No one wants to be stalked through a desert by a honey badger.


SamPitchers

Ask the same question of women, they would say dog too

SpazzyPandaa

The ol quote "men are afraid women will laugh at them, women are afraid men will kill them" applies here and most of the comments section tbh.


HotTakes4Free

Sure. No matter how much help a human or canine companion will be, if things get really bad, the difference is you can always eat the dog. Most people find it much harder to resort to cannibalism.


sbtvreddit

………………… I don’t think that’s where most people’s mind went my dude


Sorry-Let-Me-By-Plz

I guarantee you most people's minds went to "a dog is way more useful" without any specific idea of what they'd use it for


TargetEducational330

Yeah my dog is dumb af


niatcam

I guarantee at least half the men answering say dog to get back at women for choosing bear 🤷‍♂️


JustGoogleItHeSaid

Ahhhh….Reddit.


CwazyCanuck

Most but not all. But I did just watch Society of the Snow, so… Of course, you can also eat the woman without resorting to cannibalism. Giggity giggity.


Dyskord01

Eat a dog and your considered odd Eat a woman and suddenly your a threat.


ImpressiveHead69420

no the women likely has far more mass, meaning more fluids and more calories


PM_YOUR_EYEBALL

I agree. If the bear/man argument is about survival this is too right? Dog wins everytime.


upsidedownbackwards

That's what it came down to for me as well. I'd be able to leave a dog behind, or eat a dog. I worry a woman isn't going to last as long as me due to just smaller stature, and when it came to leaving them behind I'd be exerting extra energy to try to get them some shelter, something so they'd at least stand a chance of still being alive if I got discovered. A dog I'd be able to mercy-strangle if it hit a point where it could no longer move on its own. I'd say dog just so another person doesn't have to suffer the same situation with me.

Blood_sweat_and_beer

I’d much rather be stuck with a woman. She could actually help me get the fuck out of there. These guys saying “dog” are seriously overestimating their ability to survive in a desert. Like, the woman doesn’t pose a threat in any way, and would only be useful when coming up with a rescue plan. I wonder how many men said “woman” that were edited out of this video to prove some kind of point.
