LOL.  If a questioner forgets to quote the second part of the hadith, that becomes "intellectual dishonesty."  But a forged hadith that does not conform with Quranic information nor values isn't "intellectual dishonesty"?????    The Quora hadithist is purposely being evasive about the Quran because he knows that the hadith culture of ostracizing dogs is an unwarranted presumption  not supported by the Quran.   I consider such an attitude of the hadithist the most intense "intellectual dishonesty."  The hadith institution itself is a massive intellectual deceit and one has to be deceitful oneself to accept it.

You're also right sister Ruhi, all those bias ahadith shunning, blacklisting and snubbing dogs sprout from Abu Huraira's personal dislike for dogs.  He liked cats but didn't like dogs.  I realize different people may appreciate different pets.  But that certainly doesn't mean you start demonizing the pets you personally don't like .... and that too by forging the name of the Prophet (pbuh).  AstaghfarAllah. 

View the hadith below.  Yet another thundering forgery and an evidence of the narrator's own whims. 



How are cats useful and how does their usefulness become a justification for validity of prayers?   Hadithists will claim cats are useful because they prey on rats and if there are rats in a house, having a cat will be helpful.  But what if there aren't any rats in a home?  Furthermore, dogs can also chase rats and be similarly useful.  Still more importantly, dogs can chase out intruders who sneak into homes and that makes them still more useful;  also they can do this job more effectively if they are reared inside the homes rather than kept outdoors locked in kennels. 

The crux of the matter is, whether cats or dogs, we nurture them out of love and affection as a part of our family .. not merely for their usefulness.

Abu Hurairah, the pathological liar engulfed in selfishness, really worked hard in this world to pave his path leading to Hellfire in the next world.  He will be the most 'useful pet' in Hell for the dwellers of the fire, InshAllah.
