Are you kidding me? Is a bear like a giant hamster? They are different animals with different characteristics, different needs, and different purposes. NO, they are not like "giant dogs".

NOOO i know people say that but when ur on a horse you have a chance of being bucked/reared then kicked/steped on and maybe even killed! when ur playing with a dog it might bite you than you spank it then it walks around with its tail between its legs. but when u spank a horse hold on tight!

No, they're not. And if you asked a question like this, DON'T get a horse, you'd probably get picked up by the ASPCA.

Not at all. Horses are completely different animals altogether, that bit is obvious. Horses are flight animals, they run when scared. Dogs on the other hand are less flightly. Horses are bigger, but are generally less trusting. A horse needs to be treated sympathetically. Im not saying a dog doesnt but a horse cannot really be compared to a dog. You can ride a horse, you cannot with a dog. However people do take horses on walks eg. after an injury. Horses can also inflict injuries on you, not necessarily more severe but ones a dog cant eg. they kick you, buck you off etc. Im not really sure how to put this but its not really a hard question to answer. If you want a giant dog, get one. If you want a horse Id suggest doing some research first or helping out a stables, then you will find out for yourself!
