is a nice dog fiendly or beautiful?

Much the same - one that is friendly and enjoys your company - and is well-behaved.

Uh, like a person then?
So if you want to say that a dog or another animal is "attractive", you should say "beautiful", "pretty", "cute", right?
Tnx

It is not a case of "should " or "should not". You can describe an animal in any way you please. I know animals that are beautiful, others that are not beautiful but are definitely cute, and others that are downright ugly but are great characters.

Well, it's a case of "should not use nice to describe an animal", I think. You know, Italians are very likely to say "She's nice" when they mean "She's pretty, she's attractive...". So it's not always so simple, I always have to to be careful when I choose the words I want to use.

But now I know animals are like people... Thanks

You could say "that's a nice-looking dog" to refer to appearance.

Some words like 'nice' and 'good' are very frequently used. They are very handy and are used to substitute specific words as spoken language is full of vague terms and pauses. They may have many meanings. This is because when we speak we don't have enough time to think or find the precise word.

X: I don't like two words in English.

Y: What are they?

X: One is 'nice' an

I'd also use 'nice' to describe an animal that looked good.

Nona The BritI'd also use 'nice' to describe an animal that looked good.

Uh-oh! Well, I hope it's just you... otherwise you're going to confuse me, I guess.

I guess I use 'nice' in a critical sense not in a 'pretty/cute' sense. i.e. one that is well-bred/good quality, I'd say 'that's a niiiiiice dog'.
