Are You a Dog-Puppet

I can’t believe how lavishly some people treat their dogs! I swear...I’ve seen them pamper them as though they were their kid, Figuring that their doting on them makes a fair exchange for what they’ll wind up doing to appease their every bid! Things like - rolling over - fetching balls, and tug-of-war - often earn them special treats and lengthy spiels of praise, And when it comes to earning either one - or even both...virtually every dog alive is practiced in the ways. Smaller dogs are world renowned for offering their protection - fending off what they perceive to be a major threat - Followed by a cocky look of - ‘I just saved your life’’, then - one of expectation for the way you’ll pay your debt! Larger dogs are more than glad to keep a person guessing, thrilled to keep them wondering --- ‘If I pet him...will he bite?’ But what annoys me most is - if you’re betting that he won’t, and no one’s there to tell you - but you‘re dying to know you’re right - Only by attempting to can -- ‘will he bite or not’ -- pass from what you didn’t know to what you fin’ly do! So...while I do like dogs myself - I’m not a real big petter...but if you simply can’t resist, well...that there’s up to you! And yet - despite their great finesse at getting what they want...literally taking full control of what their masters do… Most of those who have a dog - when razzed for being ‘puppets’ - tend to throw a hissy-fit, and vow it isn’t true!
