Humans think of themselves as being in some way superior to other animals. Why? The more I watch humans the more deluded I think they are. Take leadership \u2013 how do dogs choose their leaders? We might not always get things right, but if we identify a character as clearly unstable and untrustworthy we don\u2019t all say \u2018what a perfect dog to lead us\u2019 and get behind him in droves. The worst of it is, you humans seem to take it upon yourselves to make decision for how we should live as well as you. More to the point, you make decisions about how you want to live without caring about the impact it has on the rest of us. Quite honestly, looking ahead, I\u2019m a worried dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it any wonder that when we\u2019re faced with something we don\u2019t like we feel so powerless and our only solution is to pee on it and walk away? Maybe humans would do better to follow our lead. I\u2019m not saying necessarily that they should go around peeing on things, but maybe if they started to smell grass verges a little more and stopped thinking those verges would look better if they were ploughed up to be replaced with a shopping centre or a multi-storey tower block we\u2019d all be a lot happier. I know this may be a hard concept for humans to grasp, but there are more important things than making money. Following the guy who tells you he\u2019s made the most money for himself may not be advisable for everyone\u2019s health and welfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know I may be getting to be an old dog, but the upside of that is I\u2019ve seen a thing or two. Of course the downside is that I\u2019ve seen enough to now be worried. Please humans, don\u2019t mess up this world we\u2019re all supposed to be sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
