Have to agree with you there. My dog is more of an attention whore than any cat I've ever dealt with. Seriously, cats hate me. Only problem ever had with 'cats crawling everywhere' is they seem to liek to get ontop of my fridge. Dogs are far more picky than cats. A spoiled dog will starve itself half to death before touching dog food, cats will just resort to hunting.
And the danger thing: That was just a stupid one to bring up. Animals understand that size matters, alot. And no animal understands this more than a cat, which tends to give them a very high respect for the flight or fight instinct.
And I have yet to see a man pickup a girl simply by walking his Brittish Mastiff. Seriously, the only dogs that "help", are the cute low maintinence ones that don't drool and can do the sad dog look well.
actually my old 20 pound terrier would ALWAYS try and help me if you screamed in pain or there was any danger, cats WILL flee or not pay attention, this is even from my "cat ppl" friends they agree cats will leave
have you ever thought you were trying to force the wrong food on your dog? maybe try changing the food, they aren't really picky eaters just don't like certain things, compared to cats who will only eat one thing, dogs won't eat one or two thing.
also for the crawling part, if i had a dime for every time i heard "my cat is behind my computer in the cables and is " i'd be rich
and yeah bull mastiffs can pick up chicks, teach it a few tricks or go play frisbee with it at the park, you'll find someone without much work
