    My grandfather had an ugly dog. It died a long time ago and the world was a better and more beautiful place. My grandfather liked it, though, so I guess it wasn’t completely irredeemable.

      The dog being “cute” to you is kinda not the thing that should define the dog. Would you say that kinda thing about humans?

        Some people, and dogs, are more attractive than others. This is an objective fact. Some people, and dogs, make the world a worse place and therefore make it a better place when they die. This is more subjective, but most people would agree with that statement, if not who would qualify. As for my grandfather’s dog, the qualities that caused it to make the world a worse place were not its physical features. I rarely comment on people’s looks because I think that’s generally the least important thing about people.
