Reasons To Believe Dogs Are Dormant Geniuses
If we were to read a dog's mind it might sound like this:
OHmygodohmygodohmygod HI, How are you? I'M GREAT! Where'd you go? THERE--where? HEY CAN I EAT THAT?
If dogs were children they'd be medicated. Their brains and hearts operate inseparably, and they are loyal to a fault. They do tricks and a lot of embarrassing things with glee, and without a care that we literally own them. It's an endearing dumb goofiness that we can't help but love.

They can grow human arms and teach themselves to jet ski:
They have mastered what I've been trying to do since I learned how to walk:
Their ability to pantomime is unparalleled:

Which comes in handy when life gives you too many choices. Dogs are like, no problem. I have the emotional maturity to know what I want and self-actualize those desires.
They have rhythm:
