A while ago I saw a video of a dog doing something that really amazed me. A fellow dog got hit by a car and this "dude" risked his own life by running towards his friend who was lying in the middle of the highway and dragged him to the sidewalk. Don't believe me? Here's the evidence. Then I started to remember some things I've seen my dogs do that wouldn't be considered as part of the "normal dog behavior", so I started thinking that maybe, just maybe, some dudes could reincarnate in dogs after they die?

Does this sound stupid? I'll give you some examples of "unusual dog behavior" so you can take your own conclusions.

I have had a couple of dogs in my life and you can obviously see when a dog is not a dude. I have had the classic dumb dog that you see running from one side of the house to the other, scared as hell as if he saw an alien stealing his food just because he touched his leg with his tail when he was distracted. This is the kind of dog that cries like an excited puppy when you let him in the house, breaking the empty glass you left on your night table with an impressive tail whip just because he can't control his happiness. You can spend hours pretending to throw a ball so he runs after the invisible thing over and over and he'll be fooled every single time. But try doing this with a "dude dog" (let's just call it like that from now on). No sir, after the first attempt of fooling your dude fellow he'll bite your leg and stop playing with you stating the point that he's not a stupid kid you can impress that easily. My dude dog even used to give me that look right above the shoulder when he was leaving that really let me know he was done with my idiotic games.

What about stealing stuff? A dog would make a mess leaving a broken plate and smashed potato footprints as evidences of his crime when stealing the chicken breast you left unprotected when leaving the table to answer a phone call. But be very careful when you leave your food unprotected when you have a dude dog. This dude will be able to leave the place exactly as it was and you might even think you were the one who ate the chicken breast before answering the phone. Trust me, I have found hot dogs in the exact same place I left them, packed the same way I would pack them but with a small difference: Where's the sausage? Ask the dude dog, because the picky bastard is "kind" enough to unwrap the thing, eat the sausage, wrap your raped hot dog again and leave the bread and the other "good stuff" intact so you don't get hungry. What an altruistic friend.

I think being a dude dog could be cool since dogs have cool features like being able to hear ultrasonic sounds, seeing ghosts and the cool thing of only recognizing black and white colors so you can feel like you're in one of those romantic classics like Casablanca.

Dying and reincarnating in a dog? Why not! After all, I have had both types of dogs and trust me; dude dogs are WAY cooler and more fun to have :)

Why don't you take some time to watch how your dog behaves and find out which type of dog it is?
