cynophilist

“While man’s control of dogs underlies the dog owner’s declaration of love, cat people enjoy admitting that cats are smarter than they are, and, having been anointed by cats, they themselves are, therefore, somehow superior to cynophilists.” Mark Cushing; Pet Nation; Penguin; 2020. “There will also be a tofu dog and a Bahn Mi dog, and for the gluten-free cynophilist, dogs will come wrapped in lettuce.” What’s Cookin’; Arkansas Times (Little Rock); May 25, 2017.
