dogs vs men? i would take my husband over any dog any day - over any human, for that matter. he is my world!
i am against animal cruelty and the ridiculous amount of breeding that takes place, etc, etc. but my humans come first. any animal posing a clear threat to the wellbeing of my family cannot stay.
back to the original question, i think people are more cautious to give up on a bad dog than a bad boyfriend partially because the consequences of giving up on a dog are so much higher. the dog will end up in a shelter or PTS, while the boyfriend just goes back to the bar to find his next woman. and like others said, sometimes the dog doesn't know better, but the boyfriend should.
another thought: i once read how much money is spent per year on pet stuff in north america vs how much it would take to feed starving people around the world. made me rather embarassed. and i am not even out buying diamond studded leashes.
