Humans love dogs more than other people: study.

I prefer dogs to people, and am more inclined to help dogs via charity. Part of that is because I have seen the dirty underside of the not-for-profit world from the inside.

DNC: White men shouldn't apply for tech jobs.

Can they be investigated and fined for overt discrimination?

The same people who cry that gays and transgenders can "be fired because of their sexual preference" then do their own discrimination based on sexual preference (and a lot of other things!)

Dogs have far more redeeming qualities than people
do.

around dogs. I prefer dogs."

Two women, two dogs rescued by US Navy 900 miles south of Japan after drifting for five months.

Considerable speculation going on that this is a publicity stunt for a soon to appear book or youtube video. However, some admit that a great many people buy a boat and set sail without proper training or experience.
More doubt on the horizon. https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/c6d52734-c541-3d43-8b10-b682ad114c3e/ss_hawaii-women%27s-tale-of.html

A 50' boat is huge for two people on
any kind of trip. It's almost a yacht,
a small one. They look awfully well
fed to me, as does the dog.

I didn't have to worry about doubting that story, because it never sounded plausible in the first place.
