The Importance of Straight Animal Talk in a Crooked Human World
No offense to cats, but why can’t people act/talk/be more like our beloved dogs? Here are the thoughts of a 6th-grade dog lover on the subject:
Dogs don’t care what you look like…
Dogs are more obedient. Dogs are always there for you…
Dogs are playful.
Dogs are glad to see you whatever mood you’re in…
Dogs will wait for you. Dogs are more respectful, too.Dogs look out the window instead of watching T.V…
Dogs seem so much smarter…even though we humans know so much more.
Dogs are cuddly…
Dogs make you happy when you’re sad.
Dogs are only mean when they’re trying to protect themselves or don’t understand…
Dogs go with the flow more easily.Dogs are patient and kind…
Dogs are more sensitive to others’ feelings…
Dogs aren’t afraid to do what they want…
That’s why people should be more like dogs!
