Ben:

Total agreement about the compassion thing. Neither Meredith nor I enjoy characters in any form that we can't sympathize with. Part of the appeal of Dogs for me is the inevitable human failings of the characters and how they grow because of it.

But that's no surprise, really, is it? :)

It's interesting that I've heard a lot of people, and certainly not just here, say that they don't like characters unless they sympathize with their characters' failings and growth. I tend to instead not like characters who I can't admire. Of course, usually the two come in the same character, but when I'm trying to create a character I'd be willing to play, there has to be something that I consider admirable in them, wheras I could generally care less about their failings re: me.
