FinishedDogs — what gives? Furry interlopers of mind and spirit, loveable self-centered freeloaders; they want all your food, but do they ever share theirs with you? No! Backseat drivers! Smiley connivers!! Dumpster divers!!! Why do we love them so? Our protectors — deep down we fear them, because they can so easily destroy us if they don’t like us. Smarter than us — they can sniff your birthday cake and create a hierarchical list of ingredients in their head.
