"I've always felt almost human. I've always known that there's something about me that's different than other dogs. Sure, I'm stuffed into a dog's body, but that's just the shell. It's what's inside that's important. The soul. And my soul is very human." (Stein 2-3)
This guy is nuts. If thinks he is the only dog out there who believes in making it to the big time, I say he's more than nuts. Sometimes, . . . when I get a chance to look deep into the eyes of my human family members . . . I see that they almost get me. ME. Little ol' me. Like the dog in this story. But, something there is that does not love a "dog". Yeah, I a Robert Froster, too. I like my place on this planet. #1 dog companion that knows more than most. I LIKE being there when the times are not so good to help out. I am important in the scheme of things. Don't need no mo' issues like . . . turning into a human when dust turns to dust. So, what's in your brain cells? Give 'em a scratch ifn they've gone stale with age. I'm list'n. Dolly--and lovin it.
Now, Dolly, be kind. And...I am glad you like being my dog. I do too.
