If I had my choice, I would have picked Golden Retriever or some other dog that isn't associated with killing people or being stuck up. I felt of the two I had to go Poodle, though. And now I'm filled with shame.

I call shenanigans. I spend much of my time on a college campus and this does not prove accurate (for my life at least). In fact, I would say that the percentage normally runs quite the opposite. The world would be a much nicer place if 70% of people smile and say hello as you walk by.

Does anyone else disagree with the results or do you believe that they are true? Why or why not? Discuss! I would be interested in what you have to say about it.
