    If you could be a dog for a time, what would you choose for yourself & why?
    Since I have some physical disabilities, I thought of maybe any dog in the working class, since I cannot work, or perhaps a toy, for the reasons of play, but not a hunting dog as i personally don't believe in the "sport", so I keep coming back to any service dog, that would allow me to help whomever, be it a rescue dog, or a dog to aid the blind, or the severely disabled, but some dog in that field.

    I would be a working dog. I've just always liked working dogs and admire their strength and stamina. I'm not sure what type of working dog exactly.

    I would be a large dog with high energy. I'm thinking something like a Labrador. They're the complete opposite of me....and if I'm going to be something different, then I don't want to be one that ends up laying around the house, sleeping all day. I want to be running and playing nonstop for the day.

    I would be a Yorkie because I'd be so adorable and everybody would want to spoil me. I'm sure I would get a lot of delicious treats:p

    I think I would like to be a house dog. I will guard the house and my family and will have all the opportunity to play with them. :p

    Definitely a cute Old English Sheepdog. But I do want to help others so I'd love to be a therapy dog because people love fluffy friendly dogs and given that I pass the Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog test, then I'll definitely be visiting a lot of sick people to make them feel better.

    I'ld love to be a seeing dog for the blind. I'll be allowed into the best restaurants and catch a movie or two. Maybe they'll let me on a jet liner or an ocean liner to be with my owner? [​IMG]

    Oh they definitely would!

    In which case, you need to be a seeing eye-dog for a rich guy who likes to travel, huh? Hehe.

    I would be a working dog definitely. Not exactly sure what kind of job. Maybe the kind that search for drugs in airports. So I feel like I'm doing something important, but I'm not in danger like a regular police dog. If I can't be that then I'd settle for seeing eye dog for sure.

    I'd love to be a high energy house dog, hopefully with a family that would spoil me as much as my family spoils my dogs. I'd go outside and play all day just like my dogs, and maybe I'd even be able to keep up with them for a day.
