I can't answer for people from India, but the predominant religion in Pakistan is Islam. Islamic people don't hate dogs, but they are forbidden to have one in the home. It is against their religion, I assume because the animals are considered unclean. Cats, however, are permitted in the home. The prophet Mohammed is well-known for having loved cats so much that he once cut off the sleeve of his robe rather than disturb his cat who was sleeping on it!

The dog in India and Pakistan is considered a guard animal. Some people have dogs inside but most are outside in these temperate climates.

Dogs roam free in Northern India for sure and are fed by people who have kind hearts.

I think these people less like having cats indoors and as pets in general.

I am an Indian. The reason I hate dogs is because they bite really deep. A person was walking down the street and a dog jumped on his back and bit him.

I'm not sure if this is a fair question, however, when I was in India I saw a poor demented dog with rabies, a very scary sight,and a bite can kill you.
Does this help?

I'm half indian- my father is indian and he's kept dogs al his life. Culturally- they are deemed unclean creatures and therefore they're not popular with the culture. I don't now about pakistanis- I'm assuming the same for them too as both countries origins are direct neighbours

They do hate dogs. When I walk my dalmatian the kids are always screaming lol and you know dogs sense fear.... well my dog barked at this Asian woman and she started running away. It did make me giggle, because my dog wouldn't hurt a fly. Also the woman had a scarf around her head and my dog finds that odd.

The local kids are all like 'awwww look dalmatian!!' and the asian kids are like 'aahhhhhhh!!!!'

If a Muslim touches a dog they must change their clothes before they can go to a Mosque.

Hindus do not hate dogs.

Maybe they're freaked out by a dog with a pony tail...does it have a tattoo too?

Probably does actually - one of those ID tattoos in its ear...?

And I was only trying to be funny - DOH!

...must try harder...

I don't know why I have a muslim friend and two hindi friends and neither they nor their family like animals - say they are dirty. A work colleague is Sikh and he is the same.
