...and this reminds me of one time when Clash and I were driving down the road and saw a dog licking himself. I asked Clash, "Wouldn't it be cool if you could do that?" To which he replied, "Yeah, but I'm afraid he'd bite me."

Good question and funny for that matter. Well, I think I would because it would be much, much easier. However, we must explore some of the negative aspects. First of all, you would not but as sentient as a human being but that is not bad because you would know no other form of psyche. One deal breaker may be life span as well. Dogs live much shorter lives than humans but again, you only know your life span and no other and it is all relative anyway. So, yes I would like to led a life of a dog.[|)]

Hell yah I would. As a human I do have higher cognative ability, despite what Sassy says, so people expect more of you. Dogs dont worry about paying rent, the job market, politics, etc etc. They just eat, play in the yard, get petted, breed, and sleep. That sounds good to me. I think I would give up my ability to reason and all that crap to be a dumb dog. </font id="quote"></td></tr></table></blockquote id="quote"> "...to be a dumb dog." i take umbrage to that. dogs are quite intelligent creatures; i'd definetly put them up there with primates and dolphins. you ever try to train a fish?

I think being a bird dog would be awesome. Living in the lap of luxury and occasionally going out to smell birds. It is amazing to watch a bird dog at work, they are bred for that and they love it. A dog on point is a beautiful site. It's cool as long as I wasn't Cott's dog! [:D]

My dogs are spoiled, so yeah. Plus I can hump whatever I want and people just accept it as a dog being a dog.

Don't know if I'd make the consious decision to be a dog, but I've been told I WAS a dog on more than one occasion.

It would depend on whose dog I was. With the right owner, the dog's life it pretty sweet. Although, my four month old nephew's life is pretty nice. Eat, sleep, poop, and no work or bills.
