Why We Like Dogs Better Than People
Most dogs are less exasperating than people. Think about it:
Has your dog ever asked you for your car keys?
Has your dog ever asked you for a loan?
Has any dog borrowed your tools and then not returned them?
Has your dog ever ignored you when you come home from work? (If so, get a new dog.)
Has your dog ever not thanked you for what you do? (Well, didn't you see his tail wagging?)
Has your dog ever asked you why you want him to do unnatural things like walk between your legs while you are walking, to stand on his hind legs, to jump through your arms when you hold them like a loop, or to play dead?
Did your dog ever ask you if you wanted him to guard your property?
Dogs are perfect except I have never got one to pay board and room─except by unconditional love.
Okay, the article was rejected for too few words. Let's try a poem if I can dream one up here.
If your dog bites your hand
When you feed him,
It's not a dog,
It's a ferret.
If your dog hates your cats,
Barks all night,
And poops on your rug,
It's a dog.
That aught to do it!
