Under a Kantian moral framing, you treat me as a means to an end and not and end in myself; namely, that end is kibble. Kibble and walks. And ball. Yes you are very cute, but by treating my free will as a subjective end you deny the very possibility of freedom and therefore the foundation of all moral action yes you doooo

I'm a cat person myself but even I can tell all dogs are good dogs. Even the ones that work forces, or have annoying habits. All dogs go to Heaven.

All cats can get into Heaven too, but only if they want to. And then they want out again. And back in. And sometimes they don't bother with the Pearly Gates, they just leap the fence.

You ever wonder about Cerberus? His main job is to try to keep the cats out of Hell. Even with three heads, he can't always manage it. Sometimes they even steal his bed. He's still a good boy though.

Am I really a good boy?

Pope Francis’ statement in Laudato Si’ helps to finally lay the age-old question to rest. By immortalizing his words in writing, the pope leaves no room for misunderstanding or hearsay: dogs and our other animal companions will join us in the Kingdom of Heaven.

If dogs have free entrance to heaven, but the definition of "good boy" is loosey-goosey.. Seems like there's a loophole here.

I do not subscribe to a system of ethics that forbids forgiving dogs for their behavior due to ignorance or human involvement.

All dogs are good boys, from a certain point of view.

(But my dog is a very very good boy, and he deserves kisses, ear scritches, and going to the park)

They're good dogs bront.

ACAB includes police dogs.

Ethics is just cultural coupling via language anyway. Ronald Reagan thought he was good. So did Hitler.
