Man- Dog's Best Friend

Buffy- No Offense Intended
     I want to apologize if any of you humans take offense at some of my criticisms and comments.  I kid you humans!  After all, we dogs are your best friends.  Any observations are offered with the knowledge that we have a special relationship.  We can say things to each other that we wouldn't say to a lion or a tiger.  If we did that, we wouldn't be here.  We want to challenge you to attain the heights of scientific technology, while at the same time transcending but including the best aspects of lower nature and the animal kingdom.  We don't want you going all silicon on us, that's elementary.  Fellow sentient beings like us dogs need you to continue to evolve in a way that is beneficial to the biosphere, and considerate of the four legged creatures that have your best interests at heart; and of all of the other living organisms that share the planet with us.

     In the 1980's we were worried that you would plunge us into some sort of nuclear winter with your massive stockpiles of ICBMs.  You don't have the fur coats that we have to deal with the lack of sunlight after a massive nuclear exchange occurs, so you'll be the first to suffer if such a war ever occurs.  Then there's your industry and automobiles which generate numerous pollutants. If you heat up the planet with all of your human generated waste you will suffer the loss of your best friends, us dogs.  We don't respond well to extreme heat and chemical lung irritants.  We don't do too well using inhalers, as we don't have thumbs to activate them.  Lately my water has been tasting a little oily, as if it's been spiked with crude.  Wars are fought afar for oil rich lands, and now we have more oil than we want, except it's in the wrong place; on the pristine beaches of Louisiana and Florida. 

     Dog's progenitors, the wolves, lived in harmony with nature for thousands of years.  During this time they did not cause one oil spill or detonate a single thermonuclear weapon. They didn't invent power plants or internal combustion engines,and  their chemical production was limited to natural biodegradable waste products.  You humans are very intelligent, but too often you are short sighted (or intentionally myopic when it's profitable) in foreseeing the harmful byproducts of your creations. We dogs enjoy the benefits of many of your inventions so we want you to continue achieving economic prosperity, but who is to deal with the excesses and damage when people or corporations act in a careless, short sighted manner?  Many of you say that government is evil so I guess you can't be surprised when it fails to control, or ends up being purchased by the irresponsible.  Where are the wise humans that can speak to the need for balance between commerce and environment?  My friend the junkyard dog says that we dogs need to organize, and that we require a special commission on dog-human relations appointed to lobby for us in Washington.  Your politicians often act and sound like a bunch of angry animals anyway, so we thought we would fit right in.  Or we could forget about the government thing and you all could use a little common sense and stop pooping in your own puppy house.  Even a dog doesn't do that unless it's sick!  Is humanity ill?  We dogs, your best friends, are here to help. Let us know what we can do. Meanwhile, would you taste my water before I try it, it looks a little suspect.

Good dog, Buffy!! That deserves an extra box of treats from your masters (but don't eat them all at once - remember that you're an enlightened, refined animal :)
