fun fact I was thinking fabricated story. Then I saw the breed mix and the dogs picture. Then I thought what kind of plots is that good boy up too???

I also used to be more skeptical about the smart animal just figured it out on their own, till living with the mad lad in my profile pic. He's a mad lad and a sweetie boy too. Depends on time of the day or something.

Dogs are in many ways, superior to people, less emotionally complex and less full of shit. There's a purity to them that people simply lack.

I see dogs as kind of our idealized image of ourselves. Basically they're wolves we projected ourselves onto over many generations. That's my take on them.

People don't give animals enough credit. They're definitely smarter than most people think. They also have feelings, which some people seem to forget...

proof of this is that they certainly figured out that people have feelings. Seriously if you think animals don't have emotions and feelings you are blind.

reminds me of when visiting relatives and they get weird that your more into the cat or dog then seeing them. I am like hey if you act that excited to see me you'll get belly rubs and head scratches too.

Some of the sentiments expressed here about dogs reminded me of this quote, attributed to Bill Murray: "I'm suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn't like a person."

Absolutely. I was pretty sick a few weeks ago and these guys took turns laying down with me. Look over the fact that one looks like a cat, all three of them think he's a dog.

As someone smarter that I once said, "The more I know about people, the better I love my dog!"

I always knock. How do I know if the doorbell is working?

I do a friendly know though... Like a little tune.
