I'm thinking that's probably not the best way to describe your point.
Basically you just made a joke about dogs that is triggering to people like a Holocaust joke or a rape joke.
I get what you were going for and yes, I've seen some severely abused dogs that are still sweethearts despite it.
But...
Your post came off as it was ok to do those things because dogs will love you anyways.
You may not have realized that is how it came off but it's akin to using ret@rd, f@ggot or really anything on that scale as a phrase. If it's ok to talk about it's ok to think about and then it's ok to do.
I think people need to call out bullshit comments like that more often, online and in person, so that it's less ok to joke about and use as an example.
