Have you ever wondered what a dog was thinking? Well you’re in luck because today you’re going to hear a story from my dog’s point of view. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the story.
Today when I woke up my human was talking about her friend coming over tomorrow. She was cleaning and doing her chores and I could tell she was happy and I was happy too. We don’t get visitors very often. Wait! What if she brings french fries! Ooh and Sausage, and burgers, and steak—What did my human just say? I think she said that her and her friend are going to get HOT DOGS! Is she going to cook me? No No she would never cook me. Right? I mean the settlers in Jamestown ate Dogs and Horses during the starving time so… No! She would never cook me. I am a loyal, handsome, perfect dog. I mean sure I have some minor little accidents–but only sometimes—I’m probably just paranoid. Yeah that’s it I’m just paranoid. She would never cook me! I have nothing to fear. Nothing at all…
The Next Morning…Oh thank the Great Dog of Heavens I’m still here. Wait! Is my tail still here? Okay I just have to spin around and grab it, Okay five, two, eight, one. Ah, I missed it! Okay, try again… Now! I got it. Okay my tail is here, my paws are here, everything is fine. Now… Oh! It’s the little human boy. I command you to give me food! How dare you ignore me. I said I command you to give me food! Now! I’m getting very impatient and hangry, and trust me you do not want to see me hangry. Oh Yes he’s coming over yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Oh sweet cheese and crackers it’s the bacon, cheeseburger flavored treats. It’s been so long, Oh So Delicious. What’s that noise? Oh YES! It’s FrenchFries Man! Food! Food! Food! Food! Oh yeah that’s the good stuff.
