Alternative title: Dinosaurs wouldn't be that big if they weren't that big
Dog-sized dinosaurs are one of the most popular animals on the planet right now, so much so that they're the default flavor "everything tastes like."
I don't think chickens are usually referred to as "dog-sized" even if it's occasionally true.
Yeah I mean, I know dogs come in a wide range of sizes, but I feel like default dog is a lot bigger thanks default chicken.

Man, animal protection organisations weren't kidding when they said poultry chickens are MASSIVE
Would dogs be more popular if they were big as dinosaurs though?
Clifford was pretty popular for a dog book.
Those elephant-sized sloths seem pretty cool.
There were a lot of dog sized dinos and nobody cares about them, which means you're right!
I mean, raptors
Who’s a clever girl?

Microraptors, even.
Which they made bigger in Jurassic Park, so that's actually proving the point. A bigger raptor species was only discovered after the first movie.
Doesn't it demonstrate that the actual dinos in real life don't have to be big to be popular, because humans will simply portray them how they want to see and bring interest in the species regardless?
Aw heck yes they would
They'd be popular, sure. But no way as popular and in public imagination as all the behemoths.
Like, there were a ton of dog-sized dinosaurs. You've never seen or heard of most of them.
I think it has more to do with them being one of the oldest discoveries
Triilobites weren't that big and they aren't that big.
I dunno. I grew up around a lot of horned lizards and they are awesome. Bump them up to small dog size and they'd still be awesome, though significantly more dangerous.
