Dogs, they're just like us

Snickers, the Curious

The other day I was walking my friend's beautiful golden retriever of a dog named Snickers. As she paused to smell bushes and stare down squirrels I couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking and why.

Ten minutes later, I found myself smelling a rose at my nose level. A few seconds later, I heard a loud inhuman squeak above me. Lo and behold, a squirrel on the branch was staring down at Snickers and me. All three of us had a moment of recognizing each other as different animals and then moving on.

Maybe I am more like a dog than I know. Now it is confirmed. We are curious beings.
