You don't mentally become a dog... you go insane being a human trapped in a foreign body eating flavorless cardboard.

The dog seemed pretty intelligent as soon as it could speak, and most dogs are pretty damn happy. Being human kinda sucks imo and how do you know your new dog taste buds won't love that cardboard? Clearly there's a physical component to taste since covid changed so many people's taste perception.

Admittedly, the one thing that would drive me crazy would be missing my friends

Not lack of opposing thumbs and the ability shit indoors or at least ask clearly to shit outside?

[–] Moghul@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

The way I see it the opposable thumbs helped get us into this mess, and they better let me outside lmao, I'm not gonna clean, I'm a dog.

My dog rings a bell when she wants to go outside.

We tried that with our corgi. She learned to abuse it to go play, then after we worked on that, she learned to pretend pee after going out before trying to play.

Ours sometimes rings the bell to make us stand up, and then steal our seat, or food.
