I absolutely love dogs and have always been a dog person. We had an amazing dog who died literally right before the Covid pandemic kicked off (well right before everything shut down in March) and often joke that she was the only thing holding society together.

I do think leftist spaces tend to skew towards cat people, but I think this probably has something to do with cats being better for renters/people with not much space/busier work schedules. Cats can be not too much work, whereas even the smallest dogs require a good deal of work and attention. Dogs also probably require more space, so good for middle class people with yards and/or space to walk as opposed to a crowded city with no yard. But read about the riot dogs in Greece and South America, dogs have always shown up for the left!
