Your question reminded me of something which happened a few years ago.
My dad is a farmer, and one day a friend of his (who’s just the tiniest bit crazy!) was walking down the farm lane when our sheepdog, who could be quite vicious at times, came running up to him and bit him on the leg.
After being bitten, my dad's friend immediately bent down and bit him back on his snout, without a seconds hesitation. The dog looked totally shocked, then just turned and ran away from him.
After that, every time the man came into the yard the dog kept his distance.
I know it was a stupid thing to do (with its nature the dog could have savaged him) but it was such a bizarre thing to happen that every time I think of it, it makes me laugh..!

It is news when a man eats the ears off his dog. That is what happened when a black man smoked embalming fluid in my home town it was in the NEWS paper.

Anything that goes against what society considers the "norm" is big news. It is different and unique. Weird maybe, but still interesting.
That is why crime, war, politics etc get more coverage than heroic acts and acts of kindness.
Pitiful, but true. Niceties are boring I guess. People live for the dramatic.

yes, because it would either be a story about animal cruelty or some insane guy running through the streets naked claiming dogs were the antichrist (or hell, it could be both).

may be he misuses you and wants you believe that you should always do him things
so little by little you will find yourself as his slave
so first try to fight against this thought in yourself then oppose him face to face but friendly, just as he does with you
