We can't see the universe from their perspective either.

We can say a giraffe has some neck to be a giraffe. Poor old giraffe doesn't even know he has a neck. He just eats leaves and stuff.

True that, but dogs are more or less humans too when you think about it. We can tell if a dog is happy or sad, excited or scared. I wouldn't have a clue looking at an octopus whether or not it had just won the lotto.

Too right chucky baby. People get too caught up in things such asdriving up somebodys arse or grinding your teeth in bed.

Take a look around peoples (and pooches). Be thankful for what you are and for the greatness you are capable of.

It would indeed. If you had friends around for dinner though, would you rather feed them beef stroganoff or a regurgitated mouse?

ELSIE: Consider the lilies?
BRIAN: Uh, well, the birds, then.
EDDIE: What birds?
BRIAN: Any birds.
EDDIE: Why?
BRIAN: Well, have they got jobs?
ARTHUR: Who?
BRIAN: The birds.
EDDIE: Have the birds got jobs?!
FRANK: What's the matter with him?
ARTHUR: He says the birds are scrounging.
BRIAN: Oh, uhh, no, the point is the birds. They do all right. Don't they?
FRANK: Well, good luck to 'em.
EDDIE: Yeah. They're very pretty.
BRIAN: Okay, and you're much more important than they are, right? So, what are you worrying about? There you are. See?
EDDIE: I'm worrying about what you have got against birds.
BRIAN: I haven't got anything against the birds. Consider the lilies.
ARTHUR: He's having a go at the flowers now.
