    I feel like dogs tend to to give us the benefit of the doubt about everything, never jump to thinking we’re crazy.

    My beagle hates it when I do laundry or if my goldendoodle gets perfume at the groomer. Everything MUST be stinky according to the beagle. He does his best to make everything have his hound smell by rubbing all over everything and everyone. I’d be mad if he wasn’t so damn cute when he does it. He makes dumb little noises and gives me side eye as he wiggles around like a doofus

    There are soo many things that dogs would find very confusing, if they had the capacity to analyze that way. What if they knew that all of our interpersonal interactions were governed mostly by ego, shame, and pride?

      I don’t believe all our interactions are governed but ego, shame, and pride.

      I certainly just exist with my friends all the time and we talk without filter and just exist together.

    smell of us

    You meant to suggest the situation when dogs wear our odour, right? Like, perhaps, they rub against us and pick up a scent to wear ?

    To check for odour without wearing it themselves, it’s just “smell us”. So, I’m not sure whether it was a typo.
