As a dog who has been raised in human society, I hope one day I can be completely myself. I want to be the dog I was meant to be. I want to train my body to walk the way I should, with all four paws on the ground. I want to growl whenever my instincts tell me to. I want to bark whenever my instincts tell me to. My instincts tell me so many things, but I never listen to them because I was raised not to.

Right now, my greatest hope is to be a normal dog. Right now, my greatest hope seems to be the only hope I have.

picture this: charles is kitted up in a young kingly garb while having captured a neighboring kingdom, king seb of the neighboring kingdom ofc.

first thing that young king!charles says to captured king!seb, “you may still sit on a throne, but only when you’re riding on my cock”

the last line has been living rent free for a week now

mmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

okay okay. fuck. charles in a wonderful costume, getting really into character.

maybe he’s wearing some rings and he gets Sebastian to kneel down and kiss them.

I accidentally found interesting information about human biology:

"Man’s best friend is more closely related to humans than you may think. The common dog, scientifically classified as Canis lupus familiaris, shares a surprising amount of genetic code with humans – approximately 84%.

Note that the high percentage of shared DNA between humans and dogs does not suggest humans are 84% canine. Instead, it conveys that there are many similarities between the genetic sequences that make up their respective genomes."

"Scientists estimate that humans and dogs share about 84% of their DNA. We have over 17,000 similar genes[...]"

"Humans and dogs share more than 80% of their DNA. Humans and cats share almost 90%."

"Chimpanzees are our closest relative as a species and we share at least 98.8% of our genome with them.[...]with dogs it is 82%[...]"

I've felt really euphoric about this and started thinking that this information might be enough for me to consider myself a biological dog(at least partially). I'm aware that when it comes to my own identity I'm really prejudiced and scared of what others will think of me. Anyways, interacting with the community is helping me A LOT with these thoughts.

P.S: I don't know if that's clear, but I DO SUPPORT physical and biological nonhumans. I'm just insecure about myself.

The white swiss shepherd dog tends to be more friendly towards strangers than the gsd when properly socialized and I'm definitely not friendly around new people.

Whenever a stranger gets too close, my body tenses, my mouth closes, I avoid eye contact and I feel the urge to growl to push them away(in some cases, my instinct tells me to bite). Even when they aren't doing nothing but minding their own business I feel pretty uncomfortable.

After months of research, I finally realized that I'm a reactive dog. I always knew I was territorial, but never considered the possibility of being reactive.

>>If you are questioning a dog identity keep this in mind: some dogs are reactive<<

I had a dream

It's hard to remember everything I dream about, but when I do, I'm always either being chased or flying. Last night, I remember being chased by two dogs, and there were other people with me. I was in a strange house and we were trying to hide from the dogs. At some point, they caught two or three people; I was behind the door while they killed them. I saw and heard everything. The growls, the blood and the screams.

I felt a little scared when I woke up, but then I started thinking... Sometimes, I want to be as violent as those dogs. I want to chase, growl and bite. I want to be covered in human blood. I want to express my rage. I don't even know why. Maybe I'm just a violent dog.

They reminded me of Cujo(I've never actually watched this movie btw, just heard about it somewhere).
