    Yeah, it sounds like dogs are man’s best friend, and horses are that other one who thinks they’re good friends with man, but it turns out that man was just using horses like a tool and telling horses that a friend would carry all of man’s stuff and would fight for man, and man is always sending horses out to buy stuff without ever paying horses back. Man is actually a bullying horses!
