Dogs served in war at least as much as horses, and are currently doing so in larger numbers.

Yeah there's a reason "cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" is a Shakespeare line (from Caesar)
Dog: Does he play fetch with you?
Horse: …
Dog: Does he let you sleep in his bed?
I remember a horse that would play with one of those big inflatable exercise balls. Still wouldn't fetch though.
Horses are Machine-kinds best friend.
What about robot dogs?
Was expecting the creepy spider dog. This looks like Eric Cartman’s dog in the future.
K-9 from Doctor Who
mc chris has some words to say about his relationship with his robot dog.
Knowing MC Chris they're probably complaints about the sound levels or the dogs social media posts.
Somehow I knew that was from the Animatrix.
Probably through the magic of memory
“Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.” -Groucho Marx
The horses only reward is to be the animal most frequently farted on by humans.
Yeah well they should have learned how not to shit in the house.
It's a mainly with predators that we have an easier time toilet training them. Evolution has killed off those that shat in their own caves because of diseases and bringing food back to a contaminated den will in turn contaminate the food. Whereas horses and most other herbivores live out in the open, move around more and travel long distances to graze.
Can't post this without mentioning SSG Reckless.
This was by far the most fun thing I've read all day. I'm sharing this with my fam lol
Horse reaction: "neigh"
wtF Is up with The Capitalization in oop's Post?
Oopsie.
boomer Capitalization
Artax didn’t give his life for that sort of disrespect.
YOU HAD TO BRING UP ARTAX!
Best scene of the whole movie.
I could be wrong about this but I'm fairly sure dogs have been with man for A LOT longer. Like 40,000 years ago, and I think, just from a quick Google, horses are like 4000 years...
Jazira: What does this mean?
Frank T. Hopkins: Shunka Wakan? Big dog. There's no word in Sioux for horse. When the Indians saw the first one the Spanish brought over, they didn't know what the hell it was. When they saw how it could run, carry a man through battle, become his friend for life, well, they figured it had to be a sacred animal.
Jazira: Indeed.
Dogs fought in our wars as well
Horses are more like our bedridden English children.
One side of the war loves them, but I'm sure the other side doesn't have nearly as high of an opinion.
The horse is here
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Horses are also tasty. Dogs apparently are not.
How uh... would you know?
Asking for a friend.
I tried, of course.
"Horse meat is commonly eaten in many countries in Europe and Asia. It is not a generally available food in some English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, the United States and English Canada."
Can confirm Horse is really tasty!
He ate glue as a child.
Edit: No jokes about horses becoming glue, noted lol.
While the dog was the one sent to a farm upstate.
Chihuahuas only exist because the Aztecs thought dogs were tasty.
